Alexander Skarsgard

Warning, True Blood spoilers ahead:

Alexander Skarsgard is hot!!!

The actor, who plays vampire Eric Northman on the HBO hit series, poses below for a recent 2010 calendar shoot.

While he doesn't garner nearly the same attention as a certain, younger pretend vampire, readers actually voted overwhelmingly in Skarsgard's favor last month when we asked if he was hotter than Robert Pattinson.

Seriously. Don't believe us? Check out the following photo and this result might make more sense:

** UPDATE: It appears this is a fake. It's been photoshopped. But does anyone really care? Is the picture above not fun to look at? Thank you. That's what we thought.

Last week, we asked readers to name the sexiest pretend vampire of all-time.

In less-than-shocking results, Robert Pattinson took home over three-quarters of the votes cast.

But was the poll even legitimate?

Sure, Pattinson was involved. And, yes, other handsome blood suckers - such as Tom Cruise from Interview with the Vampire and Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries - were pictured.

But we've received angry emails from True Blood fans that say no vampire comparison is complete without the inclusion of Alexander Skarsgard. As always, you've asked... we've answered!

Compare the Swedish actor, whose best known American credit is portraying Eric on this HBO hit, with Pattinson below. Then, cast your vote...

Who makes the hotter pretend vampire?
