The Googling, YouTubing, and IMDBing of True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgard has reached a fever pitch at PopWatch HQ. We’re now at the stage where we’re correcting each other — “No, IMDB says he was voted sexiest man in Sweden FIVE times” — and IMing each other links instead of working, unless we blog about it!: Skarsgard in Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” video = nice. Skarsgard in a shower scene from the 2002 Swedish film Hundtricket (The Dog Trick) = very nice.*
* Do I feel guilty for writing about his hotness (again)? No. Not when they kept him showering while the other actors toweled off air-dried. Plus, I do also very much enjoy his wit and sense of humor about the aforementioned hotness. Excerpts from an old (and translated) online chat:
neon_nerd says: What is your favorite candy?? So I can buy and you could eat from my body I mean.
Alexander Skarsgard says: I don’t like candy, but I like ice cream.
FridaF says: What do you appreciate most with a girl?
Alexander Skarsgard says: Humor, honesty and incredibly large breasts (just kidding!).

Whoa! Thanks for sharing that, Mandi… totally made my day!
I noticed that there were subtitles just because they were obstructing my view. It is ridiculous how hot that man is.
I know right…the subtitles need to go! He’s so Perfect! *faints!*
How does one apply for a job at EW?
He must be gay. He’s just too perfect to be straight and single. (sigh)
Oooh, I wish. Not that I’m good enough for him, but one can dream…
No he’s straight…I can tell.
OMG… Now I need a cold shower, lol…
Askars. Now that’s some crushing I can get behind. Mandi, have you seen the light finally? Those Twilight children have nothing on our favorite Swede.
As far as spending your time talking about him at the office… If it gets him his own story in the mag or more time on the site I say “job well done”.
I first saw this last year…which was when I fell in love with him. And now…sigh…I’m having to share. Thank God there’s so much of him. To share, I mean.
p.s. Other than Alexander, my new favorite obsession is http://www.kristenstewartwantsit.wordpress.com
Best snark on the net right now…and it’s written by a DUDE.
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!
HOT DAMN!
I don’t think I should’ve watched this at work… I need to go home early
holy. god.
Not only is he a gorgeous man, but he’s a ridiculously talented actor. Love him!
Yum.
I was never into blondes.. but this one.. oh this one I would do things with.
I can’t wait for the True Blood Shower scene hopefull that one won’t have letters obstructing the view that is all Alex . .yum yum
I’ve seen this clip without the subtitles, but unfortunately the camera stays just clear of the interesting parts. However there is an interesting audio clip which describes what the camera does not show.

Where do I find that clip? Hahahaha
Thank you…thank you so much, mandi…..I watched TB again last night just to see the dream scene and his final scene with Godric….Swedish goodness!!
quivering puppies . . . lol
I’ve literally spent the past 2 hours obsessing over ASkars online. And you’ve made me feel that there is no shame in this. So your post was very welcome when it popped up on my Google Reader.
I’ve spent the last two weeks obsessing over Alex online, googling, you tubing, facebook fan paging you name it! this legitimizes my obsession –thank you EW – your finger is on the pulse on this one. MORE ALEX in EW!
i’ve seen this so many times but it never gets old…
I actually touched my screen to try to push things out of my way to see! How pathetic is that? Damn,that man is just too beautiful.
Mandi, does this mean that you’re over the sparklepire and 17-year-old boy obsessions? Please God let it mean that.
I’m not into blond men, normally, but ohhhhh my.
I agree with Katie – bad placement of the subtitles!! Somewhere, there is some awesome footage of this that they didn’t use….
DAMN He is hot. Thanks for brighten a dull day.
Thank you for brightening an otherwise horribly boring day of studying. He’s insanely gorgeous. Can we get the version without the subtitles? They were totally in the way…lol.
All we can hope for HBO to get him to do a full frontal scene like the did with James Purefoy in Rome. Delicious!
Subtitles are totally not necessary for the clip! Who wants to read subtitles when they could be ogling Alexander anyway? He is a delicious piece of man candy… I don’t mean to degrade him to just a piece of meat, but DAMN!
Darn those sub-titles – I caught myself craning my neck. And does nobody in Sweden have body hair?
Er…Yes!!
I´ve met a few who has…
(I´m Swedish!!)
I have been loving on this guy for some time now. For those of you who have not seen this video CHECK IT OUT. For a lot of us Alexander lovers it is the kiss to build a dream on. We refer to his technique as TMLK (the mouth lick kiss) and YES he does do it to Sookie too. OMG… the man should give lessons. I would have my hubby 1st in line. *sigh
Wouldn’t we all love to be on the receiving end of that hot kiss!
These little tidbits have been going around the HBO Wiki and FanFiction.net Sookieverse for months now. I am glad to know the REST of the True Blood crowd has already known about Alex’s hotness
Yeah, this post totally makes me feel less like a loon for re-watching his bed scene this past week on True Blood via my TIVO. He’s purdy.
