Happy Friday!
SPOILER: Do not hit play if you haven’t watched this episode from the final season of TRUE BLOOD on HBO
Very sexy scene between “Jason Stackhouse” and “Eric Northman.”
About shooting the scene, Kwanten told TVLine:
‘There was word on the street that a scene was coming, and to be honest, Alex and I had been — not necessarily begging to work together — but we’d been pondering the thought, “What if we were ever put in a scene where it was just the two of us? What would happen?” And this is what our illustrious writers came up with.’
He said the scene with Skarsgard took a few hours to film and both were in good spirits throughout.
‘I always have a lot of fun, and I think that’s the important thing to remember,’ he said. ‘We’re just there to have fun and to stay true to the characters. Thinking back to this particular scene, I just remember Alex and I laughing a lot.’
Not sure how long the posted video will last online. Watch while you can 🙂
Alexander Skarsgård posed alongside his “Walking with the Wounded” buddies wearing not much more than just underwear in during his South Pole expedition last December.
The new image (via EOnline), released late Thursday, shows just a bit more of what the group experienced during the 200km trek through the South Pole in the spirit of charity.
Back in December, you’ll recall Walking With Wounded team guide Inge Solheim posted the photo below on Instagram:
OUT interviews Cut Copy bassist Ben Browning on Alexander Skarsgard’s involvement in making the video:
So let’s talk about the video for the album’s first single, also titled “Free Your Mind.” How’d you manage to bag Alexander Skarsgard for it?
We were really lucky. We met him in Brazil three years ago. We were playing there, and he’s a fan. We didn’t know that. We were playing and just saw this dude right upfront going crazy over our songs, and afterwards we wanted to meet him. He came backstage, and we ended up hanging out. We went to some house party in Rio and ended up talking about music and film all night. Then fast-forward two years later, and we’re making the first video for this album and the director said, “Oh, you know, you guys are friends with Skarsgard, so why don’t you ask him if he will be in the video?” And we thought there was no way he’d be able to do it. But we asked him and he was really up for it. We went to L.A. to shoot it, and he had a day off to do it. We did it in one day.
And, of course, because he’s Alexander Skarsgard, he had to get naked for it. Was that his idea or the director’s?
I think he was happy to do whatever was needed, and I think he and the director sort of collaborated on what would go where and how he would dress. He’s got that six pack and everything. He’s got to put it to use.

Alexander Skarsgård knows how to photo bomb at pic.
While his siblings were seen sitting on a couch, the True Blood star popped in the back corner of the shot and flexed his famous muscles for the camera.
I always say “when you’ve got a Porsche, you don’t keep it in the garage.”
While chatting with Conan O’Brien last month he explained that he became accustomed to nudity while growing up in his less-than usual household.
“My dad and his side of the family are old hippies,” he revealed. “I was 14 the first time I saw my dad wearing pants. He was always naked.”
