Alexander Skarsgard: 'Completely Different Side of Eric'

Alexander Skarsgard drops by the gym on Saturday (July 2) in West Hollywood.

The 34-year-old True Blood actor wore sunglasses over what looked like a bruise under his eye. Hope everything’s okay!

Alexander recently chatted with the L.A. Times about the evolution of his character, Eric, and what will change for him in the current season of True Blood.

“It’s a completely different side of Eric,” Alex said. “He doesn’t know who he is so all that baggage is gone – 1,000 years of resentment and bitterness, the whole loathing humanity kind of stuff is gone. But there has to be an element of danger there still. I didn’t want him to become too much of a little puppy…. I don’t think it would be fun to watch him for very long if he was completely emasculated.”
