Alexander Skarsgard Talks Religion & Rihanna with 'Bullett'

Alexander Skarsgard Talks Religion & Rihanna with 'Bullett'

Alexander Skarsgard rocks a red suit and cradles a sleeping lamb in this feature from Bullett‘s Summer 2012 issue.

Here’s what the 35-year-old actor had to share:

On True Blood‘s fifth season: “Bill and Eric have to set aside their disputes and team up. They bond in the process; they have no choice. There’s definitely a bit of a bromance going on there. It’s a little like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”

On religion: “I grew up in a very secular society. I have atheist parents. My morality never came from religion or from scripture, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have the same values or ethics.”

On his Battleship co-star, Rihanna: “God, I thought I worked a lot. We would shoot until late Friday night and she would jump on a plane and go to L.A. to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards in front of a billion people, and then get straight back on the plane and fly to Hawaii, and go to set Monday morning with a smile on her face.”

@Lilla: Me too!:)

Nice interview – something new, whoot! – and Alex looks great as always but something about the styling is way off for me. Sometimes the stylist needs to try less, not more.

@Disney Villainess: I just saw him in Stockholm 2 days ago, but it’s so nice to see all the pictures now that I’m back in the states :)

Lookin’ good! Glad the lamb didn’t turn into lamb stew!

I LOVE this photoshoot. It’s funky. It’s funny following AS as I do I tend to see his go to’s. It the worried boy face or the what’s that over there face. LOL.

One day it would be nice for a photographer to get him to show a less posey and natural AS.

Well maybe he tried popping and lived the up/down lifestyle he could do like Rhianna LOL. My take is she’s on some “uppers” to keeps her going and why she is all smiley-smiley and often buzzed looking and why she sometimes looks blah, like she is in need of sleep, likely she then takes downers, That girl 1 step away from rehab. She will crash, mark my words.

He is Perfect . Love him . :)

Yep, he’s perfect. ;) What a bizarre photo shoot. It’s quirky, just like him. Adore him! I think we’ll get even more Alex with the TB premiere tomorrow. Can’t wait!

Disney Villainess @ 05/29/2012 at 4:14 pm

@hmmmmmmm: “I LOVE this photoshoot. It’s funky.”

I agree. It’s artsy unconventional-ness(?, LOL), like Skars.

@anonymous: *In Arnold Jackson voice*: What’choo talkin’ ’bout Willis?;)

Haha, cute lamb! Just have to say that I love the fact that he is an atheist :D

AS would look good wearing a potato sack. When people always talk about having “it”, they are referring to him. The man is not missing one qualitiy.
I am so glad we finally got an AS day, thank you JJ.
Maybe this can be the start of something wonderful, that can happen once a month.

@Disney Vilainess- You should read the backstory on the Bullett mag site about the blue suit shoot. LOL. Try saying that 5 times.LOL

I’m not sure what to make of some of those photos and the outfits but I suppose it’s for a quirkly magazine. He looks handsome though, despite the odd styling. That lamb is super cute too!

@mforman: I just can’t with the Satan’s secretary red….his face yes but I just can’t with the red……. just wow!!!!

@chelle: The red’s a bit much.
The shoot’s interesting, but I do agree with Meatballs:

I like the lamb though.

Disney Villainess @ 05/29/2012 at 6:56 pm

@Lilla: AND, you know we’ll be treated with, no doubt, some yummy Skars pics from the TB red carpet as well. He’s spoilin’ us right now, LOL.:)

@hmmmmmmm: Loved this line: “Skarsgård swaggers down Canal Street in a blue Bottega Veneta suit, parting the crowded sidewalk like the Red Sea.” LOL, just like a BOSS.

one of a very few handful of men who can wear this type of clothes and make it work. you can tell that he used to model.

STOP THE TROLL @ 05/29/2012 at 8:31 pm

Alex those pics S.U.C.K. A.S.S.

@Hanna: he said his parents were atheist not that he was.

@mforman:
I love AS too, but I do think he is missing the gratitude quality…anyone as perfect as him was created by the Divine!
