Well, okay we got no Douglas here (yet) but Müller and Thiemann didn't have it. I felt weird standing in the men's fragrance department looking at the CK stuff. Same with H&M looking for Joel. But yep, I guess they're starting now.

Thank Santress for great pics and Syd for the vid
Alex looks very good in this outfit. I like him in a black shirt and a gray suit. Olivia and Jack look nice too and they are very funny together
It's interesting:

Berlin on Tuesday evening! Launch Event of Encouter (Calvin Klein) w/ Alexander Skarsgard. Totally looking forward. #CKEncouter
It looks like Alex will be doing promotional tour for CK in Europe.
Yes, he looked very nice; that piece of chest really did it for me.
Thanks to everyone for the pictures! And a special shoutout to Santress for posting so many!
Thanks for posting the video!
I love Alex's reaction when one of the directors mentions "Zoolander".
Wait! What?! I'm in Berlin on Tuesday and Wednesday!
OK, I need to do some research for details and pack my ladder just in case...
So, if we see pics of Alex attacked by a drunk flying squirrel we'll know you found him.
I have only seen the ads featuring Bill yet, but I'll check for you tomorrow if I can find any of Joel's.

I'm not very squirrely, but if you see pictures of a petite blonde clinging to Alex's leg that might be me.
I don't know but if you hurry up you can meet him. Enter the contest until Sunday. TinyBee, that's your chance too.
ETA: Btw, for anyone interested. Moneybrother is going on tour in Germany this December. I'm thinking about seeing him in Dresden.

I think i just saw Alexander Skarsgard on West Broadway. If so, he is REALLY tall. And looked hungover.

So what ideas were you having when you were reading it 'improperly'?
Having watched that CK vid quite a few times I'm definitely not thinking properly either 
"GQ: In our July issue there was a travel piece on Stockholm, a city with which I think you're quite familiar. Funnily enough the author mentioned seeing your brother Bill at a bar.
Skarsgård: Well I have forty-five brothers so just go in to a random bar and you're bound to run into a brother of mine.
GQ: So let's say a guy has twenty-four hours in Stockholm. What should he do?
Skarsgård: Well I'm from South Stockholm. Stockholm is a group of islands and you have the Old Town in the center and it's beautiful. Most of the buildings there are from the 12th or 13th century. It's very tourist-y but worth walking through.
All my recommendations are on basically in Sõdermalm, in the south. If you have twenty-four hours that's the island I would go to, I wouldn't bother going north. There are two neighborhoods that are really cool; Hornstull, on the western tip of the island, where a lot of interesting artists live and is a very creative place and then for shopping there's SoFo, which is the hip area with all these cool little bars and restaurants and boutiques and coffee shops.
GQ: In the same article there was a piece by a Swedish writer on hooking up in Stockholm and she said self-deprecation was a Swedish aphrodisiac. Do you find that to be true?
Skarsgård: [laughing] Yeah. I think that's very Swedish, a very Nordic quality.
GQ: We'll make sure to tell all the GQ readers heading over there to just start ragging on themselves to the beautiful ladies.
Skarsgård: Absolutely. You definitely don't want to brag. You definitely don't want to show up in a yellow Lamborghini or talk about how successful you are. That's a huge turn off.
GQ: Humility goes a long way.
Skarsgård: A long way, yeah."
...
GQ: There are just a lot of eager women hoping for you to play the part.
Skarsgård: I don't know. Have you read them?
GQ: No. I haven't yet entered my mommy porn literary phase.
Skarsgård: Maybe I should read those books because people love them.

Hot Topic: Alexander Skarsgård
September 28 2:00 PM by Lauren Levinson
You best know him for his role as the chillingly sexy vampire, Eric Northman, on HBO's True Blood and for fronting Calvin Klein fragrance ads. The dashing Swedish actor, known for his tall stance (he's 6 feet 4 inches) and blindingly blue eyes, attended an event for Calvin Klein Encounter cologne last night on the rooftop of the theater in NYC that houses the thrilling Sleep No More play. After sipping some bubbly, ELLE.com chatted with Skarsgård about those Fifty Shades of Grey rumors, playing Eric, and which city has the loveliest ladies.
Name: Alexander Skarsgård
Age: 36
Provence: Los Angeles, CA
Relationship status: Presumably single
On being featured in ELLE.com's Hot Topic column. "I'm very honored. That's what I'm here celebrating tonight. That's the only reason I'm here. I heard rumors I'd be the hot guy of the week."
What it feels like to be the face of Calvin Klein Encounter cologne. "I hadn't really done campaigns before, but I felt like if I was ever going to do it, then this is the one. Calvin Klein is such a cool, classy house. It's got a great creative team behind itFabien Baron and Steven Klein. I had worked with Lara Stone before and enjoyed it. So it felt like the stars aligned. It felt like the one. I was excited about it. I was flattered and honored; they had never worked with a male actor on a fragrance before."
Will he play Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie? "I have no idea. I haven't read a script, and I don't think there's a script out there. And I haven't read the novels, so it's difficult to say. The first thing you do is read the script, and then you feel if you're good for it or not."
Is it more fun to play "good" or "bad" Eric on True Blood? "I like both, I like the combination. I like that he has both of those sides, both of those Erics within, that's what makes him real. He is not good or bad, he is capable of both. Even though he's a vampire, that's how you can relate to him. We are all good and bad."
Which city has the best-looking women? "Stockholm, Sweden. Just go, and you'll know. And guys, as well. You'll enjoy it."
