Sorry a bit late but this is more or less a Hollywood film. They never speak with accents (according to studios it puts the audience off, I know ridiculous). Did Tom Cruise have a German accent in Valkyrie? Nope! Alex already played a German in The Last Drop and he didn't speak with a German accent there either as far as I remember.
I think Dada took that pic so it isn't him (besides, the guy is rather young, not 40-somethingThat's Alex in the front row (his ear changes shape when screaming with passion at the match) and if Dada had a haircut thats him next to Alex with the sun glasses : -)) its a lot like his face.
), and it isn't Alex, shape of the ears don't change so drastically

You are too maybe
There's a Smörgåsbord of Skarsgårds So Let's Rank Them!
We all have hobbies. For Stellan Skarsgård, award winning Swedish actor, his seems to be keeping the population of his beloved homeland steady. In between being in basically every movie, working with legends like Lars Von Trier and Miloš Forman, and getting naked for Marvel, Stellan has given the world no fewer than eight of his offspring, and it just so happens that a bunch of them are also actors. Truly, he is a generous soul.
You have probably seen at least one Skarsgård at any given time in whatever you’re watching. Geographically speaking, you’re never more than five miles away from one. You may have watch a film or TV show and thought ‘he looks familiar’. Perhaps you included one of them in your Pajiba 10 rankings (Alex, it was probably Alexander you included, let’s be honest). Whatever the case, if you don’t like one Skarsgård, never fear because there’s plenty to choose from, and since we at Pajiba HQ are considerate and intellectual souls, we have decided to rank them for your consideration.
And you thought ranking the Chrises was easy. Amateurs! Now, it’s all relative!
This list will only focus on the Skarsgård clan members who are actors and in the public eye. Of the eight siblings, that includes half of them, and the others have better things to do or are under the age of ten. This is from least best to top best, because you’re never truly the worst when you’re a Skarsgård, and we don’t want to start any brotherly tiffs. Just put on some ABBA and appreciate the Scandinavian delights.
Alexander
I mean, come on. Look at him.
Did you really expect me to pick anyone else? Alexander Johan Hjalmar Skarsgård is like the platonic ideal of a handsome man. I’ve never heard so many ostensibly straight dudes do the “Well, I’m not gay but if I were” conversation in regards to one man as much as I have with Alexander. He’s just that hot. Watch Generation Kill, or skip to all his scenes in True Blood (the dick-shot is in season 6), or, if you can, watch freaking The Legend of Tarzan, where he’s so buff that you could use his abs to grate cheese.
Of course, those blessed looks can be a distraction. The greatest distraction ever, mind you, but one that detracts from a simple fact: Alexander’s a bloody good actor. While it was Big Little Lies that woke up the general public to that little detail - and got him an Emmy nomination in the process - he’s been putting in impressive work in little-seen indies like The Diary of a Teenage Girl for ages now. He’s a quirky character actor in the package of a leading man. What a struggle to live with. A struggle I am happy to intently watch whenever the occasion calls for it.

Glad to see a bit of workout Skars, which we haven't seen in ages.
Also love that Stocks calls him Twilight.
Still not liking the crap they're doing to Alex's Vs. pic, why.do.they.keep.messing.with.his.face?
"Remember the title of that last episode of “Feud: Bette and Joan” — “You Mean All This Time We Could Have Been Friends?” It served as rueful comment on how the two titular Hollywood legends — Bette Davis and Joan Crawford — shoulda-coulda-would have been simpatico if not for the studios, gossips and, yes, their own insecurities and egos.
“Feud” earned 18 Emmy nominations. “Big Little Lies” was right on its heels, pulling in 16. It’s tempting to pit these two worthy limited series against each other, lauding one at the expense of the other, instead of celebrating just how magical and entertaining both of them were.
So even though I’m landing squarely on the side of “Big Little Lies” in these Emmy predictions, know that I’m torn and frayed. Mamacita, where are you with that drink when I need you?
SUPPORTING ACTOR, LIMITED SERIES/TV MOVIE
Bill Camp, “The Night Of”
Alfred Molina, “Feud: Bette and Joan”
Alexander Skarsgard, “Big Little Lies”
David Thewlis, “Fargo”
Stanley Tucci, “Feud: Bette and Joan”
Michael Kenneth Williams, “The Night Of”
Winner: Skarsgard
Analysis: Three strong possibilities here. Molina was splendid playing long-suffering director Robert Aldrich, the man caught in the crossfire between Davis and Crawford. He had much more screen time than Tucci, but Tucci is a longstanding favorite with Emmy voters, owning eight nominations and three wins. And Tucci gave a delicious bite to his portrayal of studio head Jack Warner. But neither role required as much as what Skarsgard brought to the possessive, ashamed domestic abuser in “Big Little Lies.” What a revelation."

From Peter Traver's IG:
An EMMY for Alexander Skarsgard? The Swedish actor gets my vote for nailing every nuance in the complex role of Nicole Kidman's abusive husband on HBO's "Big Little Lies." He's got tough competition in the Supporting Actor category: Alfred Molina and Stanley Tucci for "Feud," Bill Camp and Michael Kenneth Williams for "The Night of," and David Thewlis for "Fargo." But Skarsgard, unfairly snubbed for years on "True Blood," deserves his moment in the EMMY sun. Agree? Disagree? #alexanderskarsgard

Can someone translate what he is saying to her?!?!?
Yeah i'm hoping & waiting for a translation too
Does anyone here speak Swedish ??
Yeah i'm hoping & waiting for a translation too
I tried to translate it (if someone else can hear him better or can translate better than I you are free to correct me
)This is the Swedish I heard:
Öka
Kom igen nu, snabbare
Ah, det är bra.
Ja
Inget illa nu, kom igen
Du jobbar på bra nu asså
Bra, bra ja!
Nu trycker du på där (något ord jag inte kan höra, kanske "hela vägen"?)
Där ja
Jag måste ta ett litet break nu
Vila, jag får kramp här i benen asså
Ge mig två minuter så är jag tillbaka sen
Bra
And here is my (quite poor) translation:
Quicker
Come on, faster
Yes, that is good
Yes
Nothing bad now, come on
You work hard now
Good, good yes
Now push it (some word/words I can't hear, maybe "all the way")
Well done ("Där ja" is hard to translate so this is my own translation of it)
I need to take a little break now
Rest, I get a cramp here in my legs
Give me 2 minutes and I will be back again
Good
Thank you sooo much KmoraI tried to translate it (if someone else can hear him better or can translate better than I you are free to correct me
