Here goes the celebrities on the red carpet for the "Tarzan" -premiären
Celebs succeeded each other on the red carpet for the premiere of "The Legend of Tarzan".
The protagonist Alexander Skarsgård's father, Stellan Skarsgård knew exactly how he would describe the premiere nerves.
- Oh, they're amazing, he says.
The entrance was decorated in a jungle theme and on all big screens synthesis Alexander Skarsgard and his co-star Margot Robbie . So it looked when Sergel cinema on Haymarket in Stockholm organized the gala premiere of "The Legend of Tarzan".
Tonight's big star, the protagonist Alexander Skarsgard, arrived last of all. To cheers, he walked the red carpet but made a short stop at their fans to take pictures.
But Alexander was not the only one out of the Skarsgard family that was in place during the premiere. Both Gustaf and Stellan Skarsgard was there as support and the mood on top. Nöjesbladet Stellan told how it was with the nerves.
Oh, they're amazing, he says.
The Danish actor Casper Crump , who was also a role in the film, looked forward to tonight's premiere.
We will have a fantastic evening and then we'll party a bit, he says.
On the red carpet celebs succeeded one another, many dressed in tonight's animal theme. And they had great expectations on the Swedish Hollywood actress.
As long as I've known Alex, he has always been Tarzan. It is only those who have been waiting on him, says the actor Rafael Edholm

New interview from DN.se:
From The Library:
Alexander Skarsgård: I Want to Play Roles That I Do Not Understand
He has suddenly become a major Hollywood alpha male - but Alexander Skarsgård does not want to be stereotyped This week his biggest film project so far, "The Legend of Tarzan," premieres in Sweden. DN met him at home in Stockholm. 'It's a tremendous feeling to come back here. I get lots of flashbacks,"says Alexander Skarsgård.
We sit on the Southern theater's balcony deck. Below Stockholm is spread out; a town whose days are sometimes shaded by clouds, sometimes sparkling with sunlight.
Twelve years before Alexander Skarsgård had his first theater role here, in the play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Alexander: "The play was dark and heavy. It was during that time that I learned to let go of the role the moment I went home."
Interviews are one after the other during the day. From all the Nordic countries, reporters have come to brief audiences about the summer's big movie star.
In a month and a half, the team responsible for the blockbuster, "The Legend of Tarzan," has toured the world to promote the film which has its Swedish premiere on Wednesday.
Alexander Skarsgård has flown in after a few hectic days in Beijing. In the evening awaits the grand gala premiere.
Alexander: "The recent past has been totally absurd. At the same time, I think it's very funny. It's an incredible difference to me because I had previously made independent films with a small budget. That involved mostly going around to film festivals and trying to find an audience."
The level of awareness about Tarzan beats everything you have done. Can you leave such a role behind you?
Alexander: It is almost a year and a half since filming ended. I dropped the role quick: I ended the training and strict diet. But it is clear ... It was incredibly intense. I was physically and mentally exhausted and had no social life whatsoever during recording.
Your father Stellan was a big Tarzan fan when he was young. Was there a reason you took the role?
Alexander: Yes, it was a boyhood dream. My dad saved his weekly allowance, went to matinees and watched Johnny Weissmuller (an actor who made twelve Tarzan movies). He wanted to clearly showcase the world to me. When I got the script, I called him right away and said, "Damn, I should do a Tarzan movie!".
You have often mentioned that you are fascinated by this Tarzan version's reverse perspective; the character returns to the jungle from British Victorian society.
Alexander: All are aware of and have an idea of Tarzan, but when I read the first page of the script, I had no idea what story they wanted to tell - I'm sitting and drinking coffee with the Prime Minister of Britain. Here was another entrance: a story about the journey back to nature.
Why is the contrast interesting?
Alexander: Overall, I think opposites fascinate people. Especially during the Industrial Revolution, when people went from feeling the elements of nature to staying confined in the cities. It is the romanticized image of coming out and feeling the earth. That's why many of these stories came about during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Time and again, the story of Alexander Skarsgård's physical transformation for the "The Legend of Tarzan" has been told. The role demanded a meticulously planned diet and a copious amount of training for nine months.
How is it to work with such a physically demanding part?
Alexander: One of my favorite aspects of the role was the opportunity to work with choreographer Wayne McGregor. He is a genius! I could not understand why he, someone who works with the most outstanding ballet dancers in the world, wanted to work with me. I can not even reach my toes!
It was fantastic to explore the physical aspect, working with my movement. It was much more interesting than lifting weights and eating chicken breast.
Although there is a lot of talk about your body. Does it feel frustrating?
Alexander: I do not think much of it ...
[Alexander Skarsgård is silent for a moment.]
... I try to stay away from social media, reviews, statistics and everything else. I do not want it to take away my own experience. I hope people think that there is something psychologically interesting in the film, otherwise it would be boring.
Do you see any risk with the role? Have you been stereotyped as a physical actor now?
Alexander: I feel no concern at all that I will get stereotyped. I have had a great privilege to be able to do different roles in different contexts - it inspires me.
It's about a month until you turn 40. What lies ahead of you in your career?
Alexander: I have a tendency to be pulled towards projects that are different to those I have just worked with. No tactical decisions behind it - I don't stand up and shout "Hey! Look at me! Now I want to make the indie film "! I am attracted by the inner journey and finding a role I have not done before.
Despite this, you said in interviews a few years ago that you would not do an "alpha male" part or become a "muscle man". And now you sit here ... Can you choose your path yourself?
Alexander: And so I made Tarzan ...
[Alexander Skarsgård laughs.]
Yes, as long as you get variety. It was incredibly fun to play Tarzan, although he certainly is both the alpha male and muscular man. I want to play roles that I do not quite understand, roles where I read the script and start thinking "Why does he do this?"
Then you start to play with ideas. That is when the imagination runs wild. Most of the ideas are crappy, but then I find some gems that allow me to create the foundation for the role. It's the best thing about this job.
The Facts:
Name: Alexander Skarsgård
Age: 39 years, turns 40 in August.
Lives: New York.
Family: My (Mom), Stellan (Dad), siblings Gustaf, Sam, Bill, Eija and Valter.
Plays John Clayton, "Tarzan" in "The Legend of Tarzan" which has its Sweden premiere on Wednesday 13 July. Has recently completed the recording of "Big Little Lies," a miniseries for HBO, where he plays opposite Nicole Kidman.Background: Debuted as an actor at the age of eight. During his career starred in numerous feature films and television series, both in Sweden and abroad, including "Zoolander," "True Blood," "Generation Kill," "The Diary of a Teenage Girl," "Melancholia" "Kiss" and "Straw Dogs".
Alexander Skarsgård on ...
His upcoming mini-series "Big Little Lies": "My role is very dark, yet polished. He is married to Nicole Kidman's character. On the surface, they have a perfect relationship, two cute twins and live in a luxury villa in Monterey at the cliffs. Everything is perfect, the whole area looks up to them. But the darkness is inside and it turns out that they have a very abusive relationship. "
What he does in the summer: "We are almost finished with the Tarzan tour. We are going to South America for a trip, but then I am going to the Amazon with Greenpeace for a week. It will be a crazy contrast, but also a nice way to end this period, to just get to go out, hang with the indigenous people and sleep under the stars."
The movie "War on Everyone" which premieres this fall: "It is a twisted comedy where I play a corrupt cop in Albuquerque. His moral compass is totally to hell: he is constantly packed, doing cocaine and beats people up. It was an incredible challenge to work with the role and try to make him 'likeable'."

I was just on the AftonBladet article. The photo's aren't very different or are of Swedish celebs that few here might have interest in. I had to pick through 80+ to get the ones I did.
Wow - what a motherlode of pics - thanks Santress and Free! I was literally snorting with laughter at how many people are wearing either animal prints (Alexa wins with the most, but even that cameraman had on zebra!) or just plain animals in print, mostly lions. I didn't realize Swedes liked theme dressing, but they did pull it off. I really like Skars suit. Good to see him at home with the family. No Fares? 
I know BC is looking for him..
I know BC is looking for him..
There's a lot of repetitive shots of Stellan, his wife, My and Gustaf with his GF. Plus Eija on the AF site. I'd say the more private Skarsgard's are at the after-party.
No Fares though *pout*
