ALEXANDER SKARSGÅRD: MY LIFE AFTER “GUGU”
by Enrica Brocardo, Photo by Annemarieke van Drimmelen

At first, in Hollywood, he was just one of many aspiring actors. Then, he became a vampire and the “boyfriend” of Lady Gaga, whose name he did not really understand. Thus, the fascinating Swede became more famous than his famous father. And he adopted Meryl Streep as a mother.

Alexander Skarsgård holds out his hand: “Pleasure, Alex”. Such as if we needed to introduce ourselves, as if we had gone back a decade. When in Sweden he was known more than anything else as Stellan’s son, one of the national treasures, while in Los Angeles, where he had recently moved, he was just one of many aspiring actors grappling with the meat grinder of auditions, between unlikely scripts and auditions that ended with the traditional: "Thank you, we will let you know.“

It was 2008 and Skarsgård had played only one role, that of the soldier in the Generation Kill series, set during the war in Iraq. Then, within a few months, two things happened that changed his life: the vampire part in the series True Blood and that of Lady Gaga’s boyfriend in the Paparazzi video.

“I had just started shooting the first episodes. One day a friend of mine called me, a Swedish director himself (Jonas Åkerlund, ed). He told me he was going to make a music video: ‘Would you like to play a boyfriend?’ ‘Whose?’ I asked. I had no idea who Lady Gaga was the first time he told me her name I didn’t even understand it very well: 'Gugu?’ I asked if it was about walking hand in hand or something. He explained to me that, actually, I would try to kill her but that she would survive and poison me. 'Great, let’s do it!’”

Today, Skarsgård has far surpassed his father in notoriety, and perhaps also for this reason he appears more relaxed than he was a few years ago: the self-discipline that led him to success is finally mitigated by a sense of humor that he previously struggled to show in public.

On June 18, he returns to television with the second season of Big Little Lies, airing on Sky Atlantic, for which he won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor. While there is still no broadcast date for the miniseries The Little Drummer Girl, based on the best seller by John le Carré, in which he plays an agent of the Mossad, the Israeli secret service. “When I was 19, I decided to join the Navy as a volunteer for a special anti-terrorist unit. I thought I was going to do a spy job, actually it was nothing like the James Bond genre. We were a small unit, four in all, our task was to protect some islands from possible terrorist attacks.”.

Skarsgård grew up in central Stockholm in a kind of family quadrilateral (“Many of my relatives and friends still live there, two steps from each other ”) in a hippie setting. This image helps make sense of his childhood: the father who wanders completely naked around the home and welcomes his friends with a glass of red wine in hand. “Military training was a formative experience, I stayed for a year and a half and learned a lot, discipline first of all. Mine had not been a patriotic choice, I didn’t want to save Sweden, if anything, to put myself to the test. There were hard times, the survival training to which they subjected us at the beginning, for example: alone, in the woods for a week. Then I hated it, but today there is nothing that recharges me like isolation in the middle of nature. I do it whenever work grants me the time.

With his father, apart from his beginnings as a child actor, he has worked only once, in Melancholia by Lars von Trier. "They always ask me if he gave me advice. The answer is no. When I was younger I was very stubborn, I wanted to make my own mistakes. Realizing for yourself, in retrospect, that you have made a mistake is the way to grow and improve as an actor. But one thing that he taught me without telling me: he is almost seventy years old and has worked in more than a hundred films, yet every time he has to play a new role he is nervous. If you have too much trust in yourself, you end up not giving your best.”

After many years of working in the United States, “I would like to go back to make a film in Sweden. I often go to Stockholm, I miss it very much.”. Another thing he would like is to be able to act in comic roles. “I don’t know why I ended up making films that were mostly dramatic.” Actually, he recently played a funny character, if not quite a comedian, in the movie, The Hummingbird Project, which has not yet been released in Italy and in which he is a bald, clumsy computer genius. “It was my idea because while reading the script I had imagined the character without hair. The problem is that if you just shave the top of your head the effect is not believable, so they tried to rip my hair out one by one. I lasted four hours, then I couldn’t take it anymore. In the end, we solved the issue with some fakery.”

Did he have fun? “Very much. But the moment that made me laugh the most was when I arrived at an event in New York on a day off from the set and the people there thought I had shaved my head because of some sort of nervous breakdown.”

_ljfe_ Can't stop thinking about what happened last Monday. I had the best time with my baby "pulcino" aka Alexander Skarsgard, the love of my life. I've been waiting for this moment for like 10 yrs and suddenely it happened. Can't believe i really met, hugged and kiss him; it looks like a dream but its real and that dream i've always thought would never realized actually became true He didnt stop smiling, he's humble, so sweet, very kind with all the fans and i miss him so bad. Thanks for all these emotions @rexdanger love you forever and ever
