Alexander Skarsgård

[BuckeyeChicago]

They look great together. And this doesn't just seem like actors acting like they enjoy each other's company. This PR junket seems to be getting longer and longer, so it's not a surprise they've formed a bond of some kind.
Margot has a cool boyfriend in Tom though. He seems reasonably low key etc and a while ago now I saw a report where Margot and Tom and their friends were helping out an impoverished village in Cebu, in the Phillipines. As well as the work, you got a look at them together - very sweet, relaxed vibe.
Agree though, Alex and Margot share an adventurous spirit.

They do, and I think that's why there has been the occasion where I do think if circumstances were different they'd make good couple. But I also think she'd be a great honorary Skarsgard and that their affection with each other is more great friends than as a possible couple.

They are so cute together. They either need to be travel buddies and life long BFF's or they need to dump their significant others and hook up already. He seems so happy and relaxed with her even with all the promotion and travel.

totally agree!! they look so happy and comfortable together they would make an adorable couple !!

I have a huge girl crush on Margot. I like her free spirit and she seems pretty genuine. She does look good with Alex but then he seems to have the same look with many of his co-stars, Kristen vB anyone. You just seldom get that easy look with the girlfriends in his life in photos. Hope that is okay to say but just my opinion.

He's an odd duck with his GF's in public. It wouldn't fly with me but it's been his MO for ages and I guess how he thinks he can get some privacy.

It's a contrast to see his ease with co-stars/platonic friends.

True, but we've had hand-holding and purse holding with Alexa, so baby steps.

Funniest review of LOT yet, she didn't watch it for the plot:

I saw Tarzan and this is my review after some wines

So I had wine and I am very tired and so I am a bit tipsy but I saw the Tarzan movie so I thought I’d give my honest review.
Excuse typos because you know, wines.
Ok so I don’t know what the plot is or who is in it other than Alexander Skarsgard and Alexander Skarsgard’s magnificent holy abs. I don’t know what the dialogue or acting is like or whatever.
But like 1/3 of the way in Alexander Skarsgard is going to fight a gorilla for some reason and he takes off his shirt and OMG LIKE I ACTUALLY GROANED LOUDLY.
He does not put his shirt back on for the whole movie.
And like The V. sweet mother Mary the V I am telling you. The v is worth $15. The V is worth so much I wanted to see the movie again straight afterward.
Did I say that he doesn’t put his shirt back on?
This is why I can’t tell you what the movie is about. Samuel l Jackson at one point is talking about something really important and it’s just white noise because Alexander Skarsgard has the best body that ever existed.
I am basically exhausted from being in a constant state of arousal for the rest of the 2/3 of the film...

Alex and his good friend, affectionately nicknamed Swedish Surfer Dude, enjoying a moment at the Great Wall of China (July 8, 2016):



“Had a good day, on a very good wall. #TheGreatWall.”

That is sort of funny that he had to go to China to start using Social Media. Probably suggested by PR to reach more folks in China.

Alex has a public social media account? Let me get my ice skates on - hell has surely frozen over.

But it's China, they're huge on social media and I think a lot of other platforms are banned there. Who knows....baby steps. I like that photo of Alex and Dada.

 

[a_sussan]

Haha.. yes.. baby steps, let's just start the media account in China and in Chinese cause that will be fun and mess with people's mind..lol..

Who knows maybe he will join Instagram in the near future ... I would want to see him with the Greenpeace people in the Amazon. Such promotion would be good for all important cases he's involved with (see Leonardo DiCaprio's instagram )

Every time I see some version of this story, I laugh..

Weibo is big in the coming. I've seen recently a few "Western" celebrities join it for promo purposes of course. Some of the Marvel idiots, I mean actors, are on there. They do everything to crack the Chinese market and get big numbers. I'll tell you with his new PR Instagram is coming.

I went with the family today to see Legend of Tarzan (a week earlier than planned). The cinema was 3/4 full which was great but not surprising considering it's opening weekend here, and also school holidays and a bit rainy. The demographic was anything from 8 to 70-ish. My better half and I took our 6yr and 9yr old boys to the movie.

I've put this under spoilers in case I accidentally reveal anything I don't mean to...

Spoiler: Tarzan review

It was a good popcorn film. A bit of fun but nothing really more than that. It was enjoyable, and as a follower of Alex all this time, it was nice to see him on the big screen.

Having said that, there are some things that were jarring with the movie. The CGI with the lions was off - not by much but enough where the suspension of disbelief was broken. Samuel L Jackson was definitely the comedy relief and while it was needed, that again was jarring - George Washington Williams is a character from history not some made up person they had a clean slate with, and to do with what they will. One of the first scenes in London, I was seriously waiting for SLJ to say "You are Tarzan, Lord of the MuthaF*cking Jungle".

Christoph Waltz was good, as he always is as the creepy Rom. But again, he was playing to a much-seen type from his plethora of roles.

Margot and Alex were really great together on the screen but there was not nearly enough scenes with the two of them alone to build this legendary romance. I would have liked to have seen some more tenderness and more passion in this telling of Tarzan and Jane. I think it may have suffered from acquiescing to the ratings board in a bid to find a larger audience.

Alex's accent was decent but it definitely slipped in some parts.

The depth in the film came from showing John Clayton's ties as Tarzan to both the native peoples and his jungle family of gorilla's and other beasts. That was where Alex really shone - his expressive face conveyed much more than his handful of lines did (and he really did only have a handful of lines - this Tarzan is definitely the strong, silent type)

I also liked the back story with Djimon Hounsou's character, and Tarzan's. That held a lot of pathos. And the final action section of the story leading to the ending was very well done.

If anything this film was slightly let down, not by the actors really but the editing and direction. They did really well with what they had.

Overall, if you go expecting a big, popcorn adventure film then you'll enjoy it.

Note: Oh and Alex's bod was insane

Went to see Lot last night in 4D. .We really enjoyed it. It was fun. I liked that it was more like Greystoke in that he was not master over animals (no riding elephants fighting crocs). No chest beating. The Tarzan yell was much more naturalistic and you don't see Alex do it. Fight/Action scenes are the right length and not too long. Plot is there, but not complex. Could have done with more Alex and Margot. Alex as he does in many roles acts a lot with body language which works very well for this. Overall, we enjoyed it as a fun enjoyable film. My man is an action/scifi/monster movie fan....and he also enjoyed it. Will be seeing it again.
