Out of the misty north there arrived in Hollywood a fair-haired stranger: Skarsgård the Younger, Alexander the Tall, son of Stellan the Comparatively Famous. With his totally convincing American accent and eyes deep as a glacial fjord, he won over fans of HBO's True Blood. Now, with three major films opening soon, Alexander Skarsgård is poised to conquer the rest of us.
It's hard enough on a healthy male ego just kind of standing around a guy like Alexander Skarsgård, whose Viking physique, showcased to such great effect on HBO's True Blood, tends to make one feel small and soft and generally shabby in comparison. One does not need the extra discomfort of being humiliated by his dad. Skarsgård's father, Stellan, happens to be Sweden's biggest movie star, best known on these shores as the quadriplegic roughneck in Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves or as the Swedish travel writer performing off-key ABBA songs in Mamma Mia!, depending on how you like to think of yourself. I'd called Stellan in Stockholm and informed him I was going whale-watching with his son. "Ever since he went whale-watching, he won't stop talking about it. Everybody has to go! It's a plague!" he affectionately complained. Then came the setup: "Listen," he said, the lugubrious voice oozing authority. "Bring a sweater. It's cold out there."

Alexander Skarsgard heats up the June 2011 cover of GQ, on newsstands May 24.
Here’s what the 34-year-old True Blood star shared in the “Here Comes The Viking” cover feature:
On his dad, Stellan, who’s also an actor: “I don’t think I came to acting to compete with my father. But, you know, he wasn’t around as much as normal dads, and seeing his passion … Maybe it was a way to get his attention. I mean, if anything, we’re trying to take care of him. He’s over the hill.”
On life in L.A. and the entertainment industry: “Hollywood can be like kids playing marbles on the schoolyard. Everybody wants the shiny marble until one kid says he doesn’t. Then nobody will touch it. So it’s important that I make good decisions now.”
Straw Dogs director Rod Lurie on co-stars and real-life couple Alexander and Kate Bosworth: “In the beginning [of filming the rape scene], Kate would be crying after every take and Alex would try to comfort her. By the end, everybody got really raw.”
He needs to dump that ho asap and then never wear clothes again.
