The only trouble I can recall reading about is in an interview some years ago in a swedish magazine (I can´t remember where or when right now).
There he mentioned that his father "Stellan Skarsgård" had to pic him up from the
policestation one night or morning because he had been in a fight that night in a bar in the neighbourhood. He was younger then. I got the impression from the interview that it might have happened before.
He also said in the interview that his father "had a talk with him" where Stellan said that Alex should think about what he was doing and that he was to smart to be doing this stupid things.
Those early Swedish interviews whith him (often in magazines for men) are rather interesting to read because he was much more open and easy to talk with.
I suppose that is the downside of fame that he no longer can talk so freely.

I think he got busted very being very publically drunk or something similar, but that was back in his teens if my memory is correct.

Which is one of the reasons I think Cindy Adams just cobbled together something from older interviews just to mention him in the column.

Yes, he was very young when that happened, but I do recall in the interview that he mentioned a fight. He said he defended some friends. He said that he has not bad temper when he drinks alcohol, he just defends his friends. :smile1:

Yeah but you don't just get arrested for being drunk. He probably got into a fight after a football game and that's what it is.
 
While we complain that Alex says the same things in every interview, there are times it seems if he likes the interviewer he says almost too much:

"...The governor of Louisiana has figured out a way to actually be a real threat to fight back so it's tough for Eric. It's not as easy for him as it's been before dealing with the humans and there's also a new … oh, God, I’ve got to be careful here how much I reveal.”

Well don't stop now!

“Someone is introduced in – a new character into Eric's life, yeah.”

A possible love interest?

“Maybe. Maybe not,” he laughs. “But there's someone new that's suddenly part of Eric's inner circle. If I tell you more then I’d have to kill you....

For the past 6 months I've been here in L.A. basically shooting TRUE BLOOD and every single day off I've been either going to Sundance or South By Southwest in Austin or a press junket in New York for DISCONNECT or MAISIE or THE EAST so it's been very intense. And now after THE EAST, we have TRUE BLOOD so there's a lot of press for the new season starting because it starts in 2 weeks. But once I'm done with that and once I wrap the show, I'm going to go with some friends to Iceland and we're going to hike for a week and I very much look forward to that. And last year I sailed across the Atlantic for a month and which is just wonderful to – you have no cell phone reception, no emails, no nothing. You're just there out in the wild. It's amazing.“

Here is a link to a radiointerview with Alex.
He talks about the East but also about other filmroles and it´s interesting to listen when he talks
about his profession and how he approaches it.
The radioshow is: 89.3 KPCC Southern Carlifornia Public Radio.
(For listening to the interview you click on a link on the left side of the page):

From the site:

Alexander Skarsgard goes rogue in 'The East'

One of America's biggest heartthrobs today is a 6-foot-4-inch, blonde, blue-eyed actor from Sweden. Alexander Skarsgard plays a villainous vampire in the HBO series "True Blood," and starting today, you can see him take on a very different role in the new film "The East."
Skarsgard plays the charismatic leader of The East, a mysterious collective of anarchists who plot elaborate attacks they call jams. These jams are intended to give corporations who lie, cheat and pollute a taste of their own medicine.
For example, at a party thrown by the manufacturer of an anti-malarial drug known to make its users seriously ill, The East doses the champagne with large amounts of the medication. In this scene, Skarsgard's character Benji goes undercover as a member of high society named Edward.
Skarsgard joins the show to talk about his very first role in film, and what it was like to play an anarchist in "The East."

re: the interview - found it on another site - he says he was 21 got into trouble etc. so it was not the youthful bar fight - seems a bit more significant. It strikes me that he has been a bit more revealing in the interviews he's done the last few days - this is the first time he has spoken of the trouble, he has told an interviewer about his vacation plans, and almost revealed some True Blood secrets. Feeling more relaxed maybe or it is the fatique.Frankly - watching that clip of the photo shoot - that is nuts - standing there - posing - with all these people shouting at you - all taking essentially the same picture - I do not know how they keep any kind of normal perspective with this kind of hype all the time. Then the handlers moving you around - no wonder some actors get so egotistical and self important. It is amazing he seems to be unassuming.

I think he mentioned the bar fight years ago, and it was some 15-16 years ago.

During the Men's Journal interview I think it was one of the directors of GK that mentioned there was a bar fight during one of the rare outings during that shooting.

It's not as if this is truly a pattern of behavior with him. He's not exactly Sean Penn or Alec Baldwin in terms of anger issues.

As for the revealing stuff/nearly revealing stuff, I think a lot of that's probably fatigue at this point.
