Alexander Skarsgard

Alexander Skarsgard gets naked a lot in True Blood. This fact gets written about almost as often as anything else related to the HBO series, and the Swedish actor doesn't understand why.

"[Parents] in the States freak out if their kids see a nipple or a butt cheek, but at the same time they're OK with their kids watching people bash each other's heads in with baseball bats," the star says in the latest issue of Out magazine.

From where Skarsgard hails, nudity isn't a huge deal. That may be due to the "cold dark winters" in his native country, which prompted the actor to joke:

"That's the boning season. And then it's spring, and that's also boning season. And summer's the best boning season."

In case you couldn't tell, Sweden is "liberal and cool," Alexander concludes, laughing: "We f-ck a lot."

Swoon away, ladies. Swoon away.

In the latest issue of Men's Journal, readers get to see a side of Alexander Skarsgård that they're rarely treated to one True Blood.

No, not his backside. We see that all the time on the HBO hit. More like his funny side.

Asked about James Ransone, his co-star in Generation Kill, Skarsgård says: "We have the highest respect for each other's penises. We were in the desert for a looong time."

They had a good, attractive run, but Alexander Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth are no more. In fact, they haven't been an item in quote some time.

"It was very mutual," a source tells the new issue of Us Weekly. "And it happened a while ago."

Skarsgard is "single" and "loving the attention" from the opposite sex, an insider adds. Between his looks and the important things he has to say, that ought to come as no surprise.

Alexander Skarsgard has joined the "It Gets Better" campaign, but the True Blood star has tweaked the message a bit.

In the following video, the handsome actor addresses the parents of bullied teens and says: "We have to teach our children that, not only through our words but also through our actions, that every single human being has equal value. And to bully someone or for society to discriminate against someone because they have a different sexual orientation, it’s unacceptable.”

Anyone care to argue with those wise words?

In the latest issue of GQ, True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard dishes on life in Hollywood and on life with a famous father.

He also looks very hot while doing so. See for yourself:

Asked about life in the entertainment industry, the sultry star had an interesting perspective and metaphor to share.

One plays a vampire that feeds on human blood.

The other went to jail for helping people commit suicide.

But the similarities between True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard and Dr. Jack Kevorkian don't end there: both also walked the red carpet at the Emmy Awards last night, as the actor presented on stage and the latter was on hand because Al Pacino played him in an HBO movie this year.

We know Dr. Jack used to pull the plug on human lives, but can he pull off this upset? You tell us!

Who looked hotter at the Emmys?

Fans of Alexander Skarsgard already received a gift this week:

The sight of this actor, naked and bloody, on the cover of Rolling Stone. Ogle him, along with co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, for as long you'd like RIGHT NOW.

But then set your mind on repaying the favor, as Skarsgard turns 34 today. He already has a hit show on his resume, so fans will need to come up with something else to deliver to this stud muffin as a present.

THG can only offer our appreciation for his role as Eric Northman on True Blood, as well as the following photo montage. Don't spend too long clicking on the pics, ladies. Alexander is awaiting your birthday wishes...

They're hot. They're sexy. They're undead.

And they're covering the latest issue of Rolling Stone.

True Blood stars Alexander Skarsgard, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer bare almost all for this iconic magazine, which really should come as no surprise to anyone that watches this HBO smash.

It features more gore than the White House between 1992 and 2000; and more nudity than the movie collection of Montana Fishburne. Check out the show's main trio of sexy stars below.

When he's not protecting his girlfriend and getting restrained by police, Alexander Skarsgard is spiking his hair and looking hotter than ever.

Such is the case in a new VMAN spread, as the True Blood star looks like his usual handsome self. The issue is on newsstands now.

Skarsgard is isn't the only hottie to pose for the magazine over the last year or so. Miley's ex, Justin Gaston, took his shirt off for the publication in February 2009; while Nick Jonas was totally VMAN in January 2010.

Alexander Skarsgaard proved a few things at Saturday's Coachella Music Festival:

1. He's hot.
2. He's chivalrous.
3. He's totally dating Kate Bosworth.

The True Blood star was actually restrained by police at the event, after he took action against a photographer that was taking shots of him and Bosworth. The two have been a rumored item since October 2009.

Eventually, Skarsgard was calmed down by an officer before the situation escalated. No arrests were made.

Earlier in the evening, witnesses spotted Skarsgard giving Bosworth a ride on his shoulders. Later that night, we're guessing she returned the favor with a ride of a different kind!
