OlderAlexander Skarsgard Covers 'BlackBook'
Alexander Skarsgard suits up for the cover of BlackBook magazine’s September 15th Anniversary Issue, on newsstands next week!
Here’s what the 35-year-old Straw Dogs actor had to share with editor Nick Haramis:
On Kate Bosworth (the piece was written before they split): “Kate is such a great actress, and she’s so much more than a good-looking Hollywood starlet… I make it a rule not to talk about myself and Kate. I so desperately try to keep my private life out of the tabloids because becoming a celebrity rather than an actor can really get in the way of a good performance.”
On shooing Lady Gaga‘s “Paparazzi” video: “It’s funny, I spent seven months in the African desert, putting my blood, sweat, and tears—my heart and my soul—into [HBO's Generation Kill], and still, more often than not people want to talk about the six hours I spent filming the music video for Lady Gaga’s ‘Paparazzi.’”
On refusing to bite his fans: “That’s one thing I’ll never really understand. But the main reason I don’t ever do it is because if I do it just once, every single person will be like, ‘Bite me! Bite me! Bite me!’”

Oddly, I’ve still never seen the Paparazzi video. However, I have seen GenKill too many times to count.
And from previous thread, I really hope he got to keep the robe.
Amazing photos! Love him!
Love the pictures!! Good article, he and Stephen seem like they would be so much fun to hang around the set with!!. It’s also nice to know that their friendship is genuine and not a fake hollywood friendship.
Looks like a horror magazine! I wouldn’t but it. That look in his eyes scares me lol
@ladybug: we should put together a list of things he should have kept and send it off one day. :)
question …
this interview was before he broke up with kate right?
Good grief JJ, you had to put that excerpt in there? What about all the other quotes about his work? Way to keep them tied together. Sheesh! The pictures look great though. Like I said in the last post, they emphasized that he lives ALONE, putting that stupid rumour to rest.
I was joking. I like Alexander
@lily:
I think it was before the announcement, yes. Obviously they went in afterword and changed the story to include it. Though they’re still sticking with the stupid two year timeline, even though they didn’t meet until fall 2009 and Alex himself said they were friends at first. They also most likely broke up before July. The announcement said it happened “awhile ago”. They hadn’t been seen together in over 3 months, so I’m sure it was quite awhile ago. That certainly isn’t two years.
@wonderful: I’m with you. He looks kind of creepy. Not his best cover. He looks better in the other pics.
@lily: Apparently the relationship was already over at the time of the interview, but they had not gone public with the news. The author makes a note about this.
H.O.L.Y. S.#*%^T…What a GORGEOUS man!
His answer to the paparazzi question was actually kind of rude. He is completely right and it is absolutely something to think about but it’s not the right time to bring that up.
@Camille: @AbFab: thanks ! =)
@lily: From what they say, they had already broken up, but it wasn’t public.
@Camille:
Sorry to bring up Bonesworth, but the article JJ had about her the other day didn’t even mention Alex just SD, yet when you type in Alex’s name in the search bar, that article about her comes up. Did you notice?? I agree, for some reason JJ (or her??) wants to keep them linked together.
Hot pictures! He looks great. LOL at him being nice to KB while she floats out stories that he’s a crybaby sap about the breakup. He’s being classy, and she’s well…not. I’m sure he has a lot more choice words to say but he’d never admit it. I can’t wait until this SD crap is over and he can totally be rid of her. The parts with Moyer are hilarious. Those two sound like they are tons of fun on set. I wish they’d gotten KBVS with him, she’s a riot too.
He’s so freaking sexy. His personality makes him that much hotter.
@AbFab: Thanks!!!
@AbFab:Thanks!!!
RRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr !
Come over here…
@Jen:
Totally agree. Plus, why hasn’t JJ commented on her cover? Or the C magazine one? That seems weird. It’s another chance to put them together. It’s kind of obvious the way he picked out that comment about her when there was so much more in the article.
@Jen:
Exactly. The two excerpts he picked were stupid. Her and the Lady Gaga thing? Really? One is just a stupid way to link him with someone he’s no longer with, and the other has been talked about to death. The biting one is the only interesting one. He could have put in something about his upcoming movies, which Alex spoke about, but no…pick the most lame and mundane things you can find to highlight. Good lord. *eyeroll*
He’s mine girls…
@Jessie:
You’re not the only one to wonder why those covers haven’t been featured. It’s extremely odd since JJ never used to pass up a chance to post about her. I also put in a comment a few threads back about the suspicious timing of the National Enquirer piece, being on his b’day and how she probably put it out there to get back at him, but it was mysteriously erased. Obviously touched a nerve with someone on staff. LOL
@Jen: That happens regularly, my bookmarked link for JJ is a Skarsgard search because I don’t really give a hoot about the rest, although I’ll occasionally surf the site if I’m bored. He must insert “Skarsgard” into the HTML tags so that it gets picked up by the search engines under “Skarsgard”, even though we don’t see those tags in the articles themselves.
