This feels like an old-school Hot Guy Friday moment! Alexander Skarsgard is in Berlin right now. He’s promoting his new film War on Everyone with Michael Pena at the Berlinale. It feels like it’s been a while since we’ve seen Skarsgard, but I’m just now realizing that I completely missed covering photos of him at the DGAs last weekend. He has been out and about the past few months, but I guess I just wasn’t paying attention.
War on Everyone is apparently about the drug war in America, and Alex plays a corrupt cop in New Mexico. The film is supposed to come out this year but it doesn’t have a release date yet. My guess is that this film will make the film festival rounds throughout the year, and maybe we’ll see Alex at Cannes and TIFF.
But the big moment of “Is Alexander Skarsgard a movie star?” comes this July, with the release of The Legend of Tarzan, the much-discussed reboot of the Tarzan story. IMDB says that Warner Bros has easily spent $180 million on Tarzan already, and we haven’t even gotten to the promotional costs. I suspect that’s why Alex has been attending more events recently – it never hurts to get some advanced free press for a film that could end his career if it bombs.
Apparently, Alex is still with Alexa Chung too. There was some talk that they had done the meet-the-families thing and that an engagement was in the works. If I was Alex’s publicist, I would tell him to announce the engagement about a month before Tarzan comes out.

They are so rich. Can they not do anything about the bag under their eyes ? Is there hope then for us mere mortals??
I’m sure there’s something you can do for eye bags, but he’s had them since he was a child and doesn’t seem to care so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Awh I have never seen this guy before sorry!
Love that Viking, bags and all. I find him super sexy. 🙂
Is he still dating that, not worthy of him and oh so bland, Alexa Chung? If so, why? LOL!
I think his bags are sexy. I like a natural face. I was looking at pictures of Joan Fontaine when she was in her 40s and she was so beautiful. Today she would have that strange stretched and puffy look of surgery and fillers. Wrinkles and bags > waxy botox skin, but just my opinion.
Funny, was just coming here to say he definitely has been tweaked about the eyelids or it’s a mini brow lift. He looked older on True Blood 7 years ago. Lol
Every day and twice on Sundays. I’d hit it until it broke!
THIS.
Ditto!
Same. Every day of the week and twice on Sunday. That man is fine!
AMEN!
Lol @ his over the shoulder pose!
I know! I was so surprised I burst out laughing!! 😂
Me too! I LOL’d. I was going to say that he looks tired and sickly until I saw that pic and forgot about everything. He’s not someone I lust over but he seems fun and that makes me like him.
Ditto Kitten!!
I agree, the playful pose is adorable.
I bet he did that after being asked about his rumoured reincarnation in Zoolander II. I like that he doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously. So low-key too. Love him and his tallness. Yum
Finally more Alex and less of the annoying British dudes!! War on Everyone is a black comedy, not really about the war on drugs or anything like that.
You should post those pics of him making out hardcore with Nicole Kidmanon the Big Little Lies set.
@ Cornyblue doesn’t everyone complain when they don’t age without plastic surgery. Maybe he just chooses to go it the natural way?!
Having a famous father means that we have toddler pics of Alex, and those eyebags were present even then.
If anything, the eyebags aren’t as prominent in adulthood as they were in childhood.
Shout outs to the first Celebitchy poster, wherever she may be, who said, “I’d hit it so hard I’d be speaking Swedish afterwards.”
Yes please.
That last pose is hilarious.
Love that cheeky pose!!
Not getting the appeal at all. Small beady eyes, squashed potatoes nose and half his face is forehead. Still plan on watching Tarzan (loved the books as a kid) but despite him, rather than because of.
Tall blonde and Swedish is the appeal. I don’t get it either but that’s what it is.
Vauvert, I agree – in still pictures he is not attractive at all. But if you see him move or hear him speak, the attraction becomes much more apparent.
Agree. He moves with such grace and confidence for such a big guy.
Yeah, me neither. His height is the only thing he has going for him. Personally, I feel like Alexa is out of his league, if we’re going just by looks. Both of his brothers are much better looking. Especially Bill.
I saw the trailer for Tarzan nd it looks awful.
Alexa is so bland and basic in my opinion–but that’s Alexander’s type, it seems. I second the person who said that you have to see him in movement to understand the appeal. He was the best part about True Blood, especially in the later seasons.
Bill looks like a Boston terrier. Team Alex.
I think Alexa is stunning. And she has a great personality, she’s very witty and sarcastic.
I did see him in motion. Still nothing.
CUZ HE’S THE SEX!
The appeal? How about the fact that he’s beautiful and talented and charming and kind?
^All of this! Add on top of it that he’s a lovely person inside and out makes him even hotter.
Cannot wait to see Tarzan. Loved the trailer!
Me, either.
I keep forgetting that I adore him but then he busts out a pose like the over-the-shoulder-one and I remember. Bless him, seriously. The Funny Or Die vids he did with Jack McBrayer are the cutest thing ever.
He really should announce an engagement during the Tarzan promo stuff but I doubt it. That’s not his style to announce anything at all.
I loved the videos with Jack! They have a cute friendship.
I don’t see him announcing anything either, I don’t know that either of them has spoken publicly about their relationship at all.
I miss Hot Guy Friday!!
HGF was so amazing. The good ol’ days…
I’d hit him like the proverbial piñata.
No, thank you. All you other ladies have at it. 🙂
He looks sexy.
No, George Clooney, that’s how you wear jeans and a casual shirt.
He’s so hot and has a sense of humour – why not!
The wind chill here is negative 12 or something. I would hit that so hard, volcanos would erupt across New England. I believe it is my civic duty. Or something. Erik Northman forever.
I’m gonna let the bitch out and the Kanye in and say
NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS
Lol nothing against him, he’s just not my cup of tea. He’s too vanilla and I like hot spicy tea 🙂
BRING BACK Hot Guy Friday !!!
Whenever i see him i think “god he looks like my father”, same look,blond,tall, green eyes and forever young.
Poor guy looks like he hasn’t slept in weeks! He hoesn’t have that POW that makes me attracted to him but he’s handsome for sure 😍
He would have to either say something really dickish and stupid or be covered in bugs for me to not want to hit it.
LOL! Or scabs or something similar.
He has such kindness in his eyes. You can’t fake that. I hope he truly is a nice guy. I don’t want my illusion shattered.
I’ve seen a lot of lovely comments from his previous coworkers. I think he’s a good guy.
You’re right. The comments from fans who’ve met him are even better. He’s a total sweetheart who goes out of his way for fans. I don’t think I’ve ever read of a bad encounter. He’s a keeper.
Is the over the shoulder pose a homage to Zoolander? I just remembered he played a male model in the first one.
Yes.yes. Yes.
With a side of Swedish meatballs! (sorry couldn’t resist).
Please keep posting Alex news…
I def think he’s a cutie but I’d say bad move on Tarzan. Its like ice down the back on the hot factor. Ewww no sorry. I don’t think hes a great actor, but he looks damn good.
I’d climb him like a tree! Yummy yum yum yum yum!!
He’s just the most gorgeous and talented actor in Hollywood. Tarzan is going to be a big hit as he’s such a good actor. He wouldn’t have done the film for it to be a flop.
No way will he marry Chung he’s way too good for her. They didn’t even spend Christmas together how serious does it make their union. I think she’s most ugly of all his girl friends. He doesn’t even acknowledge her or want to be seen with her. I don’t blame him either as she’s such a famewhore.
Are you a child? Your comment is embarrassing. Stop it.
