Ah, I don't look for the fansites on FB. Or even Tumblr.

I'm not sure how JY styled him for this, since I think he's had that shirt since before the LOT promo. It's not like she had to make sure he had a brooch for his lapel or anything. :p
I like that he's holding up the Pennywise pic of Bill.

Historically, yes, his former team worked with the fan sites on stuff like charity auctions but not every fan site/resource has been directly involved with that or had contact with Alex or his mgmt. i.e. The Library just posts updates whereas Skarsgard News and ASN were in actual contact with Alex and his manager, Larry, for the charity stuff over the years.

Now regarding whether any sites have had any recent (2017) contact with his current team, I have no idea. The only thing I've heard is that once he transitioned from Larry being his manager, contact with the fan sites pretty much stopped and his current agents don't reply to inquiries from fan sites. That is not unusual though. A lot of celebrities' teams don't interact with fan sites. His ex-manager, Larry, seemed to be an exception to that.

Well, that's because it's not an agent's job to interact with the fans/fan sites. That's what you got a manager or publicist for. Agents are there to get the actors jobs not to manage silly requests.

Bill Skarsgard has been haunting your dreams for weeks now through images and trailers as his character Pennywise in New Line’s upcoming reboot of Stephen King’s “It.”
His older brother Alexander Skarsgard, however, has not been as acquainted with the nightmarish, insomnia-inducing killer clown his brother has morphed into, thanks to his back-to-back shooting schedule.
Skarsgard visited TheWrap this week as part of our Emmy Contender Quickie series, to discuss his role in the HBO phenomenon “Big Little Lies,” and we decided to share some of the terror.
Watch his live reaction to Bill as Pennywise above. It may melt your heart, instead of stopping it entirely.
Check back for more with Alexander in a forthcoming issue of TheWrap Emmy magazine.

Thanks, Buckeye!

^I agree it's technically not their job but it depends on the agent and the celebrity. Some agents do interact with fan sites and handle that stuff.
To my understanding, in Alex's case, there was some initial contact with his agent on that stuff after he transitioned from his mgr. but it tapered off pretty quick. His former manager, Larry, was very hands-on from what the sites have said and really went above what normal mgrs do. I don't think he has a new manager and his pr people never handled that stuff from what I've heard.

Thank you Jooa!! What a great and funny interview.

Alex always jokes about how he thought Hollywood was such an easy place to get work until he moved to LA and "struggled" for 3 years before finally getting lucky with generation kill.

I put struggled in quotes because he wasn't struggling as typical new actors do in LA thanks to the Bank of Papa Skarsgard. Same with Bill. Not sure if gustaf had to struggle in Sweden...

Thanks, Jooa!

From ASN:

Fan photo of Alex at the Aroma Coffee and Tea (possibly taken on May 18, 2017).

"One of the advantages of living in LA is the chance to meet a celebrity by chance. I was so afraid of coming, and every time I was going to the spirit, I suddenly found a new reason to retreat. No wonder, I certainly looked stupid, smiling nervously, then sitting up, then sitting back, not daring to do anything. I watched the TV series #true blood and immediately remembered one of the main characters, for those who do not know this is a series about vampires. It is very difficult to actually go up and ask for a photo from a celebrity. I persuaded myself only because it could be the first and last time and there is nothing to lose)

Conclusion, do not be afraid to take risks !!”
