Alexander Skarsgård XVI

[VampFan]

Celebit*hy posting about TIFF. Kaiser agrees with you Zola about the shirt. Personally, I like the look. I guess it's a matter of personal preference:

Alexander Skarsgard in Toronto: forever gorgeous or kind of gross-looking?

These are some photos of your Viking Boyfriend at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of What Maisie Knew, otherwise known as “that movie Alexander Skarsgard shot with a little girl in which the little girl pretty much fell for his Viking charms.” I think Alex is still shooting that apocalyptic movie in Vancouver, so he probably just flew into Toronto for the weekend to promote this film. Thus, he still looks kind of scruffy and unkempt. Surprisingly, though, he doesn’t look as skinny as he did in those recent set photos – maybe he didn’t lose weight for the role after all. Maybe he’s still the same giant, Vikinig beast that we all know and love.

Also – this is just a quirk of mine for men: I don’t think men should button the very top button unless they’re going to wear a tie. If they are going tieless, open the top button. Alex is a beast, for sure, but this look reads as “prissy” to me.

As for What Maisie Knew, apparently it’s getting a pretty good reception at TIFF. Alex plays the younger lover of Julianne Moore’s rocker-chick character, and most of the film is told through the perspective of the rocker chick’s daughter, Maisie. I guess it’s supposed to be a straight-forward drama, although comedic actor Steve Coogan is playing Maisie’s father. So who knows.

I’m including a photo of Julianna Moore at the TIFF premiere – her dress is McQueen, and she looks great in it.

I've been looking at the questions people are posting, and I'd like to hear his answer to 90% of these. These are obviously fans who have also heard the same old, same old questions/answers. Of course, he has to answer honestly, and not standard canned answers. Wonder if any of these questions will actually be asked.



Yeah, it's also known as agarwood. Again, I say, WTF is agarwood?


The hunky star was previously linked to Ellen Page, who he met which shooting The East last winter.

The pair's rumoured romance caused issues for Ellen, who began receiving death threats from crazed fans via Twitter.

They forgot Lucy G!

Since you're smelling for nuts more often than not, how does it compare?

Well, it has cardamom as a key ingredient which is part of a really good swedish meatball, so there you go..

ETA I think I'm meatball fixated...

I use cardamom in my smoothies and hot chocolate.

Meatball fixated, hmmm? Should we be reading something into this?

Exactly There wasn't much I liked about Alex's appearance at the premiere, but the next day, that casual look, wow, sure blew me away
btw should I be happy or sad that the Kaiser agrees with me? :giggles:

TIFF '12: A Big Film On Very Small Shoulders In 'What Maisie Knew'

JoJo Whilden/Toronto International Film Festival

Julianne Moore and Onata Aprile star in What Maisie Knew.
Hollywood loves little kids. Cute ones, sad ones, ones in danger, and ones with pinchable cheeks. It is, however, surprisingly bad at making movies that are genuinely about the emotional lives of little kids, other than in movies that are for kids. It is rare to see an excellent movie about a child made for adults.

Welcome, then, is What Maisie Knew, a very loose adaptation of a Henry James novel. Please understand: it is very loose. This is a story of a contemporary New York breakup that takes some of its inspiration from some of the ideas in the novel (which I have read about but not read), but it is fundamentally not that story.

Susanna (Julianne Moore) is a fading but still touring singer, and Beale (Steve Coogan) is an art dealer. They're not married, but they have a very contentious relationship and a little girl named Maisie (Onata Aprile). Maisie's age is not specified, but Aprile is now seven, and I would have guessed Maisie was six, so we'll say six.

Unfortunately for Maisie, Susanna and Beale are the kind of parents who unleash their vicious breakup on their child while insisting that they are doing it all only because they love her so much. Maisie, in response, watches their fights with curiosity and concern, takes whichever hand she's told to take and walks in whatever direction she's told to go, with evident worry but not much understanding, at least at first. And always, as rotten as her parents often are, she has unending love for them, flies into their arms, and extends them every opportunity to be better.

Custody goes one way — no, then the other way — no, the other way again. Both of Maisie's parents remarry: Beale to Maisie's nanny (Joanna Vanderham) and Susanna to a laid-back bartender named Lincoln (Alexander Skarsgard) she doesn't even like all that much. So now, Maisie has four adults to worry about, two of whom have already demonstrated they can't care for her effectively and two of whom are not her parents.

Moore is very good, if not entirely unexpected, as a nasty and self-involved bad mother, and the other three adults do fine work as well — particularly Skarsgard, whose character takes time to come into focus, but does so in satisfying fashion in the end. But this ultimately very fine movie belongs truly and justly to Onata Aprile, who gives the most remarkable performance I've ever seen by a child of this age.

There's no mugging and no sobbing; she is heartbreaking because she is transparently processing the fact that while her parents are willing to fight over her, they will not in fact choose her, over either their other interests or their conflict. She bends toward affection like a sunflower, and the first time Lincoln goes to walk her across the street and she instinctively offers her hand for him to hold, the very fact of her reaching toward an adult expecting to be cared for becomes the film's driving force. Her faith that everyone won't fail her — which she has maintained against all logic, really — becomes the thing that must be saved. And that is a high-stakes conflict indeed.

I suspect that particularly for people who love the book, elements of the way the movie wraps up will seem contrived. And that's a fair criticism. But the performances — especially Aprile's — are so fundamentally honest that it matters much less whether the particular directions taken by the plot seem unlikely. Whether or not there is story plausibility here, there is an emotional integrity to every reaction Maisie has to every development. I was as invested in Maisie as I've been in any character I've seen at this festival, not just as a cute kid, but as a fully formed person. It's a rare and much appreciated thing.

I'm glad to see that the movie is getting good reviews and that his performance is getting noticed as well.

Thank you for posting the video anyway, they sure took that down fast. Unfortunately that only made me more obsessive so thanks for the info re 'no new Qs' I can cease searching

TIFF 2012: InStyle Toasts to the Cast of What Masie Knew
Sep 8, 2012 @ 9:20 pm

InStyle hosted the cast of What Masie Knew for a private dinner to celebrate their new film its official premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. While Julianne Moore (in Alexander McQueen) and Alexander Skarsgard (in Gucci) brought the star power to the Windsor Arms Hotel where the dinner was held, it was the 7-year-old actress who plays Masie, Onata Aprile, who stole the spotlight. “She has this raw quality,” Skarsgard said of his pint-size co-star. “She has this emotion, this energy that was just there. I fell in love in like two seconds, and then I was gone—so in love with her.” And like her character, Aprile knows: Both Skarsgard and Moore scooped her into their arms after reuniting for the first time at the dinner. It was adorable overload!

Thanks, ladies!

That shot of him with Julianne and Onata is adorable.

What a great picture. For once I don't mind him repeating himself in interviews. He can keep talking about how wonderful she is.

Thanks for all the pictures, Santress. It's like sensory overload. Next week, when he's back in the bunker and there are no sightings, I'll be coming back to all these pictures to really enjoy them.

Well Alex in Toronto looks pretty amazing, he looks tired but the pics with that little girl are adorable.
Cannot wait to see WMK!

Had to laugh at the pic of him with lipstick on his cheek, I guess a woman got a little aggressive....who can blame her


I find it odd that the rumours of him dating the fellow Swede just came out if they have been together that long (6 months)
Has there been any more about them, is the story legit? coming from Star I tend to believe it's just speculation & made up at this point...
