by

Alexander Skarsgård is addressing recent online rumors about a private video. He says comments that started the speculation weren’t intended to share anything personal. Skarsgård explained the situation in a new interview with Variety, which came after fans began discussing it widely on social media.

Talk about Bill Skarsgård’s personal life began during interviews for his new film, Pillion. At the Zurich Film Festival, he was asked about how his own experiences informed his portrayal of a character in a same-sex relationship with a dominant role. He responded by mentioning he has a child, and then alluded to past relationships with both men and women. This comment quickly spread across the internet.

When the actor used the phrase “men and women,” many fans thought he was revealing he was attracted to both. This sparked a lot of discussion and speculation online, but Skarsgård has clarified that wasn’t what he meant.

In an interview with Variety, he clarified that his previous comment was unintentional, saying, “I honestly don’t know what I was thinking.” He explained he’d been attempting to shift the focus back to the movie and its characters, rather than drawing attention to himself.

Skarsgård also discussed the buzz around his recent style. He’s been experimenting with daring and androgynous outfits, even incorporating bondage-inspired elements on the red carpet. As before, people speculated that his clothing choices reflected something about who he is.

Skarsgård says he doesn’t actually purchase clothes. In an interview with Variety, he explained that his wardrobe is quite small. He just appreciates the styling choices made for him during film promotions.

People are often captivated by Bill Skarsgård, and his past roles likely contribute to that. He’s well-known for playing the vampire Eric Northman on True Blood for seven seasons. He also took on a significant role in the 2006 film Kill Your Darlings, where he played a transgender woman. Skarsgård has even playfully discussed filming romantic scenes with male colleagues, famously joking in 2014 that Ryan Kwanten was a surprisingly good kisser.

The actor explained that he feels comfortable with LGBTQ+ stories because of how he was raised. He previously shared that his uncle and godfather are gay, and he remembers accepting it as completely normal from a very young age. He looked up to his uncle and said he never understood homophobia while growing up in Sweden.

Alexander Skarsgård is having a packed schedule as he gains more attention. He’s set to host Saturday Night Live on January 31st for their 1,000th episode, with Cardi B performing as the musical guest. He also recently showcased two new films at the Sundance Film Festival.

One of Skarsgård’s upcoming roles is in a dark and romantic fantasy film called Wicker. He’ll be playing a scarecrow magically brought to life by a solitary woman, portrayed by Olivia Colman.

Currently, Skarsgård is prioritizing his career and family life. He seems happy to let people speculate about him while he continues to focus on his work.
