True. Everyone else could be wrapped in down jackets, but Skars will probably hike shirtless..Not necessarily! The last time I was in the Alps I had a major sunburn afterwards 'cause obviously you are closer to the sun then.

New portrait of Alex by Dan Doperalski for Variety.
Variety’s executive editor of TV, Debra Birnbaum, also interviewed him for their “Remote Controlled” podcast.

From Variety.com:
In the critically acclaimed series, which finished its run back in April, Skarsgård played Perry Wright, the abusive husband of Celeste (Nicole Kidman). “It was a pretty intense shoot,” acknowledges the actor, who says he apologized to Kidman on a “daily basis” during filming. He also apologizes to the audience as well: “Yes, America, I’m sorry.” He admits he hasn’t yet watched it: “I had no idea how hated I was!”
Skarsgård says he signed on for the project immediately when it was presented to him. “It was a pretty easy decision when you have a great director, great co-star, and beautiful script, and a very interesting character,” he says. He wasn’t intimidated by the prospect of playing the villain. “I was really intrigued by their relationship and I thought it was an interesting opportunity to maybe try to play an abusive husband in a way that at least felt real,” he says. “Sometimes I feel like it can be a bit stereotypical and a bit cliché. And this was so rich and so layered. It’s a man who’s conflicted and he has these demons inside.”
The actor says he tried to find some humanity in Perry, who has deep secrets that get revealed over the course of the series. “It was important to find some core of humanity, I think, in order for the audience to at least understand this character, not to empathize, but to understand him,” he says. “And at least acknowledge that he’s struggling or that he’s conflicted. And that he is in a lot of pain. Because otherwise I don’t think it’s interesting if you don’t get in there.”
Filming the fight scenes with Kidman was incredibly difficult, he says. “We had to check in with each other constantly,” he says. “And especially at the end of the day after a tough day like that to just hug and make sure that we’re OK. Because it’s incredibly tough to shoot those scenes for 10 hours, and then jump in the car and go home. You can’t shake that off.” He stayed with friends who had young children, who were like family to him. “That loving environment was tremendously important for me to have,” he says.
But while the fight scenes were tough to shoot, he says, he loved shooting the finale. “I love how physical it got because it’s at that point where it’s very, very primal,” he says.
And he’s got an idea for a second season: “Perry’s got a twin sister called Terry and she shows up and she’s pissed off that they all killed her brother,” he says. “So, it’s basically a badass revenge story about this six foot four woman named Terry who’s there to avenge the death of her brother.”

Dada went home, so surely someone else joined Alex. Some other 'boyfriend' 
Can you imagine Kate B. or Alexa C. hiking with him? :O If he ever finds a smart girl who likes beer & sport activities, is open-minded, sensitive, but fun, respects privacy & family values ... he will marry her

Haha Dada bounced just before the hiking trip, I dont blame him I would do the same. Hiking is not my thing at all.
Anyways, Alex looks SO blonde I love it! And the sunburn on his cheeks is definitely looking a lot better. As for his hand in Dada's shirt, he is just being his goofball self. He gets so touchy feely after a few drinks, maybe some good Italian wine.

Lol! Yay he has his jacket on like everyone else. What song is that?

Alex loves these adventures enough that I think any future gf should probably at least try to do them, if she isn't into them already. My niece started dating her now-husband in college. She thought that his love of ice climbing and snow camping was interesting but it wasn't something she was interested in. As they got more serious she realized how important it was to him-in this case it's part of his job-and decided for him, and for a personal challenge she'd try to go on one of his adventures. Turns out she really likes most it.
There's a pic out there now, probably from today, which I'm not linking to because it's not sourced*, of Alex and three of his hiking companions in Venice. One of those companions is the man who was the drone operator, director/writer/cinematographer Cary Fukunaga, who in 2012 did a short film with Fares called Sleepwalking in the Rift. Perhaps Alex and Cary will work together soon? (crosses fingers)
*of course it may not be sourced because even though it's public if whoever posted it realizes the fangirls are flocking to their sm pages they'll make them private, which is what the two sources for the pics and videos of this hike did. And if it's not sourced they won't be bothered.

There were a couple of hints on the first IG that they knew him and then sleuthing the IG account the video guy mentioned. It's private but it's Cary's. I wonder how they met, how long they've known each other.
And yes I did wonder if they talked about work: the merits of HBO vs. Netflix perhaps. Did they also keep calling Fares and telling him 'it's great up here in the mountains! You should try it!" and Fares keeps hanging up on them?
And the hike is over, Alex has posted again. And did we get a nice picture of Venice or the mountains? No, we did not, because Alex has a weird sense of humor:

HAHA! no not a horrible person at all. I am sure if they decided to part ways, it was for legit reasons. And yes I hope we get a ton of Alex and Fares all over Stockholm pics for the rest of the summer.
Happy Canada Day to everyone who's celebrating!

From instagram today, apparently he's back in Sweden and enjoying dinner with friends, including Fares Fares, at Ling Long (July 1, 2017, Stockholm).
Would love to see him work with Cary Fukunaga too. I may be in the minority but I genuinely enjoyed True Detective season 2.*ducks*

I'm worried about you!
I really liked the first season of TD, until the last episode. I made it through one episode of the second season, not even for Colin Ferrell could I finish. I can't remember who the directors were for the 2nd season.
Perhaps Cary can develop something that can star Alex, Fares and Idris Elba (who was directed by Fukunaga in Beasts of No Nation)?
Dont worry, I liked season 2 as well! I dont know what people were complaining aboutHappy Canada Day to everyone who's celebrating!

Cary Fukunaga left after season 1 of TD so he had no creative input for season 2.
