I care very much what kind of sandwich he eats. I won't apologize.

Annnd you never should feel like you have too.

As always but still true: thanks a bunch Ladies for finding all the tweets, pics, gifs, vids, interviews and goodies (old ones and new ones) - I still love it all!


My train was late so I gave it a try and translated it but it doesn't get any better because the reporter/blogger sounds like a wannabe hippster who's got a very lousy style of writing and was browbeaten by Alex presence.

Thank you all for your good wishes ... probably helped because today is much better

Alexander Skarsgård ønsker han var styggere i følge #VG... Et høyst unødvendig ønske! - Alexander Skarsgard wishes he was uglier in the following # VG ... A highly unnecessary desire!

I don't think that I have seen this photo ...

I haven't either, but I think it's from that r-patz-like shoot he did a couple or so years back. Someone might know the technical term for those types of pics that don't end up being presented with the original set.......

Thanks, ladies.

The translations are great, KayLeigh.

Here is a nice clear download (pdf) of the image from tumblr:

@ Santress & Zola: Thank you!

Norwegian is quite simular to Swedish, so I can do the translation later, because right now I'm off for a 'girls night out' with my besties
But if you gals can't wait and got time to translate it or if you find a translation somewhere around the interwebs - it's all fine with me


btw: this is the Interview done by Kjersti Flaa, the Lady who had Breakfast with him in Toronto.

Well, I said it because you're not the only one making those remarks. Lots of people can't tell Germany, Austria and Switzerland apart. We just need to look at Alex's answers: Fritz Lang, Peter Lindbergh, Max Schreck, Richard Neutra, Bruno Ganz. The only actual German of these is Max Schreck. Though I'm split on Peter Lindbergh since he grew up in Germany since he was a little kid. It's the same with everybody thinking Rilke was German. I'm sure you wouldn't like to be called Norwegian or Danish.
And I don't need to bring up the past to tell you why we'd like to be separated from Austria.

I've met more than a few of my fellow Americans who can't tell Sweden from Switzerland. And apparently there really are Americans who think the US state of New Mexico is part of Mexico (bangs head on desk).

I see from the scan that they included dating and dating rumor pics (sigh).

I care very much what kind of sandwich he eats. I won't apologize.

Well, per an LATimes article from this spring, when he's at Joan's it's a meatloaf sandwich:

"Actor Alexander Skarsgard reportedly comes for the meatloaf sandwiches,"

And thanks everyone for the architectural info.

Correction. He retweeted it and said it was from the closing ceremony.

Yes, it's in the hard copy, but while it might be accurate, they usually cite a source, so didn't know where they got that from. It was a piece on how new moms have lost weight. They still didn't know the date of birth.

 

[Zola24]

.......not cool

Anger does not cut it.........we only like to go udders up during a romantic 'encounter' (see what i did there)

Zola thank you for the pic and gif......i love that gif

Thank you everyone for all of the pics, interviews and vids...i have been resting up and having a great time catching up on all the news.........and studying the pics....hard

Yay, Moo's back - and on form - I sure wouldn't want to 'encounter' you in a dark field

I know you love that gif Don't spend too long on your hard studying of all those pix and vids

@ Santress & Zola: Thank you!

Oh Kayleigh that's why I hesitated to post that scan because I thought you might instantly offer your translation services. It is very kind of you but hey just 'as and when' or a section at a time will be fine If you're not careful you'll soon find yourself becoming the 'go to' person on Scandinavia after your info on the hiking route to Trondheim and picking up on Kjersti Flaa Tku2 for the link to 'Neutra houses in Silver Lake'.

Hope you had a great Girls' Night Out - they are the best
And have I been incorrectly calling you Kayleigh when it should be KayLeigh?

Yeah, I noticed that too, always gonna happen I guess, as is the fact that 'she-who-shall-not-be-named' was 'named' a couple of times in the actual text Oh well, at least Alex has moved on but ush: I never quite .......(that's me just trailing off into silence as it no longer matters anyway)

Tku for all the pix you continue to post - I'd love to see how they are all filed and stored away and for the info re the sex of Anna & Stephen's twins

I wasn't discounting your post but my pc went into a total chaotic melt-down so I just had to leave my post as it was cos I wasn't going to take any chances with unco-operative machinery.

Thanks, Squirrel. Yw, Zola.

Here is the article that accompanied the photo:

WILL BE UGLIER

This dark room is the perfect setting for a 1000 year old vampire. But the “True Blood” star has sunk his fangs into a home in Los Angeles.

“I wouldn’t want to end up playing ‘eyecandy’ for the rest of my life”, says Alexander Skarsgård. He sticks a fork into his omelette and eats a large piece filled with mushrooms and tomatoes. His skinny jeans hang loosely on the hips of his long body. The Swedish film star has not eaten properly in two months. “I had to look emaciated for a role”, he says, referring to the movie Hidden, which is currently filming in Vancouver. “I finally crawled out of the shelter, where I am in the first part of the movie, so now I can go out like a normal person, eat normally and get a beer.” He sends a relaxed smile around the nightclub, which doubles as a TV studio today. It’s ten in the morning. We are at the Toronto Film Festival, and out in the sun one finds lots of industry people, paparazzi, red carpets and movie stars. “I feel I have worked very hard to convince people that I have more to offer than my looks, that I am actually a good actor,” he says.

So now you will have roles where you appear “uglier”?

Yeah, I just played in two movies where I’m pretty ugly. In The East and Disconnect I have a belly and glasses.

The fifth season of the vampire series True Blood currently runs on the Norwegian channel C More. But Skarsgård has four movies coming up in 2012 and has now flown to Toronto to promote What Maisie Knew. The film is based on an old Henry James novel. The 36-year-old plays the boyfriend of 15 years older Julianne Moore and stepfather to her six-year-old daughter. “I’m a huge fan of the book, and this was an interesting angle and an interesting version. It’s totally different than anything I have done before,” he says.

Skarsgård, who is the eldest of eight children, draws inspiration for fatherhood from his own childhood. He has six younger brothers aged 32 to 0 years and a sister at 20. “I love being a big brother. Dad’s wife has just given birth again, so our ages are very spread out. I have some brothers I can drink beer with and some I can watch Disney movies with. It’s perfect!”

Do you want a big family yourself?

Yes, I think so. I have no children yet, but I feel very comfortable about having lots of people around me. That’s how I grew up. With high noise levels. (He smiles crookedly.) I do not like to be alone a lot. It gets so lonely.

He grew up in a Bohemian middle-class family on Söder in Stockholm. Today movie star dad Stellan is world famous; then he worked in the theater and was rarely at home to take care of his family. Last year Alexander and Stellan appeared together in Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia. Brothers Bill and Gustaf have chosen to follow in their father’s footsteps as well.

Is there competition between you and your brothers?

No. I feel that we support each other. They know I’m having fun and get to work with interesting projects and great actors. When they see that I’m happy, they are happy for me.

Gustaf has a role in Kon-Tiki. Could you imagine working on a Norwegian film?

(He stretches his back and reaches for a strawberry.) Yes, absolutely. But it’s not about working in Norway or in the USA. It’s about the directors and the other actors, and to find a role that is interesting.

But it’s not just on the job front that Alexander Skarsgård is enjoying himself. Rumors claim that he has been busy on the dating front, with women like Rihanna and Ellen Page and Victoria’s Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna, Charlize Theron and Swedish actress Alicia Vikander.

Is it easier for you to date someone who is in the industry?

(He considers this, t-shirt hanging loosely over tight chest muscles, a thin silver necklace disappears down the shirt). It is not that important. What matters is that she can handle that part of my life. My mom was not in the same industry as my dad when we were growing up. They are separated now, but they were together for 35 years. She understood him, his profession and lifestyle. She understood that he was a celebrity, and she was a balance to that, although he also tried to protect the family by keeping us out of the limelight. So yes, it’s important to be with someone who understands what it entails.

What do you look for in a dream woman?

Humor is important. She shouldn’t take herself too seriously, and she has to be able to laugh at herself. That is the most important.

Do you think it’s difficult for beautiful girls to be taken seriously in Hollywood?

Yes. It is even more difficult than for men. They end up as the hot girlfriend or wife in every movie - and the roles are usually not particularly exciting.

It has been ten years since he left Sweden to try his luck in Hollywood. It was the role in True Blood in 2008 which gave him stardom. The last few years have also brought him film roles.

Why did you choose to move to the U.S.?

I felt I had to develop myself, and I wanted to try something I had not done before. But it was not about leaving Sweden. I love Sweden and I would love to work there, too. (He pauses. Another large strawberry disappears into his mouth.) I ran from Sweden… (He chews a bit.) Or maybe that’s the wrong word… I went to the States because at the time not very many good movies were being made in Sweden. I needed new interesting projects, and I could not find them at home. But now I think there’s a tremendous energy in Swedish film. And Norwegian film also. There are many new, interesting directors who have entered the field.

Why do you think there are so many Swedes that are leaving Sweden for Hollywood?

I have no idea. Hm. I feel that in Sweden people are kept back. They feel that they can not enjoy success, and they do not dare to take chances. People in the U.S. encourage you to take chances. I think Scandinavians should learn to think beyond the boundaries. People should be allowed to dream - and realize their dreams.

Your life has changed a lot in recent years. Can you still go out on the street in peace?

Well, it depends. In the U.S. people come up to me all the time, but on Söder in Stockholm they do not care about celebrities…

Because of Janteloven?

(Alexander Skarsgård, sporting a two-day beard, smiles.) Haha. Yes. Good old Janteloven.

[scaredsquirrel]

Thanks Santress. That was, for once,a bit revealing on some fronts. Zola, no prob, the only reason I raised it is that usually Us has been very in synch with Stephen and Anna (they featured the wedding, etc) but this info seemed sketchy and not sourced. Entirely possible it's accurate. It just lacked their usual "sources said said" etc.

 

[jooa]

I'm a bit confused - whether Alex has already returned to Stockholm? From tweets it looks like he is back ...
