Santress you are amazing how you find all these pics!! I think he always looks so cranky around them? I'm surprised they want to hang out with the brit bratt pack they haven't seen each other in a while you think they would rather be alone IMHO
So now he's really wearing his promo clothes as his everyday clothes? Because it's very strange to see him at an outdoor rock concert in a polo-type shirt, slacks and loafers, and a cardigan. It's like he wandered in from a classical outdoor concert.
I think his stylist or pr locked up his old clothes so he would not be tempted to revert to prior outfits while on tour.
Thanks, Santress!
We saw the movie yesterday. We went to the 4:30pm show since we had dinner plans, and the theater was half full with older couples and families. Not surprising based on the time. What was surprising to me were the comments in some of the reviews about how wooden and stiff he was. One of the things that I first noticed about him in GenKill was how expressive his eyes are. Without a lot of movement, you knew exactly what he was thinking in the moment. It's called subtlety, people. He does that really well in this movie, too. I felt he was having full conversations, with just a few looks. Maybe it was too subtle for some. Anyway, my husband and I both really enjoyed the movie.
I'm happy that the numbers are better than expected. Based on people's comments on demographics, it appears that WB four quadrant marketing strategy is actually working. Also, WOM, has been good. Hope it continues to do better than expected.

I'm pretty sure he wore his own clothes on his personal time during the Japan/Australia leg of the promo tour. Perhaps they saw that and decided that wasn't going to happen the rest of the tour, especially the white sneakers. Maybe they took them and burned them (fingers crossed on the sneakers). He can always pick another pair in Stockholm next week
I'm not sure what they were expecting from him, even if they'd not read the book. Were they expecting him to be super talkative and demonstrative? That's not Tarzan.
He's a very expressive actor, without saying anything, that's why I'm looking forward to him in Mute. I wonder what the critics who thought he was wooden would think of him in a role where he doesn't speak? Or any role that doesn't require words?
Lots to catch up on..
Great to hear everyone's reviews. The film sounds fun and thanks @BuckeyeChicago for the box office update.
Geez, that williamfuller74 seems like a male fallen_star1, no?
Alex looks like he got straight off the plane and went to Hyde Park. I like his Tarzan wardrobe but it's not really festival wear is it? He could have scruffed it up a bit.
He looks awkward in the seated shots in the park. A giant among the average-sized, a chaperone amongst the party people.
It'll be interesting to see how the international numbers start affecting Tarzan's receipts.

60 SECONDS WITH TARZAN’S MR ALEXANDER SKARSGÅRD
BY MR DAN ROOKWOOD
Photographs by Mr Bjorn Iooss
After making his name as a vampire on ‘True Blood,’ Mr Alexander Skarsgård, 39, is about to swing into a cinema near you as the loincloth-wearing lead in ‘The Legend of Tarzan.’ Here, the 6ft 4in Swede tells us about his weirdest fans, the song he sings in the shower, and Prince Harry’s hidden talent.
What’s The First Thing You Do When You Wake Up?
“Make tea. I drink English breakfast tea out of a pint glass. My parents did that when I was a kid and I guess I got used to it.”
What’s Your Recurring Dream?
“[In my dreams] I’ve been involved in a lot of construction lately, building stuff with random people. Everything from a hot rod with my neighbour to building a house, working on scaffolding and stuff like that. I should probably talk to someone about that.”
Who is your style icon?
“Richard Burton.”
What’s the most unexpected fashion item you own?
“A cloak. Slightly surprising.”
What would you say to your 17-year-old self?
“What were my issues? So many. Every decision feels like a life-and-death situation when you’re that young and everything is so important, like ‘Oh God, if it doesn’t work with this girl, life is over’ or ‘if I can't do this, then what’s the point?’ So part of me wants to say, ‘Relax. Chill. It’ll be fine. You’ll figure things out.’ At the same time, I don’t know if I would say that to myself because I think that's a process, a period you have to go through and deal with.”
What’s the best advice your father ever gave you?
“When I was 13, I was a child actor and I quit because I didn’t like the attention. I’m very grateful that he didn’t pressure me. He was basically like, ‘Well, if you’re not feeling it, then don’t do it. Go do other things. Have fun. Enjoy your life.’ I don’t think I would be an actor today if he had pushed me to stick at it. I needed that break from it in my teenage years.”
If you weren’t an actor, what would you be?
“I was interested in architecture as a kid, maybe back to my dreams of construction. I don’t know.”
What’s the most listened to song on your iTunes?
“The Buzzcocks. ‘Ever Fallen in Love (with Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)’. It’s a great song.”
What do you sing in the shower?
“ABBA probably. ‘Lay All Your Love on Me’.”
What’s your poison?
“I’m a lager guy. I’ve been struggling lately because of all these hipster beers from microbreweries. They have very hoppy IPAs everywhere. Not for me. Sometimes it’s hard to find proper crisp, clean lager.”
And your hangover cure?
“There’s this place in Brooklyn called ‘Prime Meats’ and they do an awesome Bloody Mary with lots of fresh horseradish and aquavit. It’s incredible. Wakes you up for sure.”
What’s the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you to do?
“There was once this woman who asked me to marry her daughter. She was serious about it and kind of started negotiating with me, like seriously asking, ‘What would it take?’ or ‘Is there any way I could convince you to do that?’ She said, ‘You’d be a great fit. We have land. We have money.’”
Did you play along with it?
“Yeah, we’re married now.”
