Skarsgård: It is obviously not possible to forgive what he does.
Nöjesbladet Interview: Alexander Skarsgård on the new role that makes people uneasy and why he moved from Los Angeles.
Magnus Sundholm 150805
FACTS
Nöjesbladet meets
Who: Johan Hjalmar Alexander Skarsgård.
Where: In a suite at the luxury Four Seasons Hotel.
Why: Launch of the drama “Diary of a teenage girl.”
How was he: In good spirits ahead of next week’s Sweden Holiday.
HOLLYWOOD. For 11-years Hollywood was Alexander Skarsgårds home.
But only a few years after he bought his dream house, he left the US West Coast for an apartment in New York.
For Nöjesbladet he reveals why.
- I missed the lifestyle I had in Stockholm when I was growing up. I wanted to be in a city again, he says.
We meet in a hotel suite in Beverly Hills. The 38-year-old star flew in for a couple of days and during the weekend he has been preparing for the launching of the famous low-budget drama The Diary of a Teenage Girl with a night out at the Chateau Marmont together with friends.
- It was great when I lived here and I still love L A. But in New York I am reminded of how happy I was that my parents didn´t live further away than five blocks. I never needed a car and could walk everywhere. It was just to go down to the local café or bar where I ran into friends. I liked the lifestyle and I missed it.
Get together often
Alexander Skarsgård has not yet had any regrets about the move.
- Some of my best friends live here and I miss them very much. But I’m here in the job almost once a month, we meet quite often.
The Diary of a Teenage Girl is a controversial film based on a true story about a teenage girl’s sexual awakening in San Francisco in the early 1970s. Most controversial is Skarsgård’s role. He plays a 35 year old man who has a relationship with the girl’s mother and secretly begins a relationship with her daughter.
- I loved the story. It felt real, raw and brave. I liked that it is told from a girl’s point of view. It shows how she thinks about sex, how confusing she thinks it is when her body and thoughts changes.
Skarsgård nods sympathetically when he hears that several people on the preview felt uneasy about his character, Monroe.
- What we tried to achieve was to stick to her story, her upbringing and show what she went through. But you can obviously not forgive what he does or says.
Do not bother me
The film contains several nude and sex scenes, especially between Skarsgård and British newcomer Bel Powley , 23.
- I’ve done some before. I have had sex scenes with men. If you like the story and know how the scene fits into the story then it doesn´t bother me. We had two weeks together, I Marielle (Heller , director, editor’s note) and Bel, before we started filming. It helped.
When asked about his sexual awakening, he smiles a little.
- It is a true innocent story. I saw Tootsie when I was 8-9 years old. When Jessica Lange appeared, I felt something I could not explain. I was completely affected and wondered why I was so attracted by her and why I wanted to continue watching.
He laughs.
- Then I saw the film again a couple of years ago and thought, “Ah, now I get it.” I had pretty good taste at the time.
Alive in the bubble
The Diary of a Teenage Girl is just one of a number of different projects Skarsgård have done since he put an end to True Blood.
- I did not really think about the end of True Blood. The same evening I put an end to it I was on a plane to London to shoot Tarzan. I lived in a bubble for 8 months. After the Tarzanfilming was finished I went to Albuquerque to film War on everyone. It is only now I have time off and can think about how everything has changed.
He says he misses his little family from the vampire series where he played the 1000-year-old vampire Eric Northman.
- We were together 7 years. We are still friends but when your´re not working together it is never the same again.
However, he is in no hurry to repeat the experience.
- I will not say I will never return to television. But after 7 years on a TV-series I now love the freedom and opportunity I have to jump on projects that interest me.
- I concentrate on the story, whether it takes place on the stage, in a small low-budget film in Sweden or in a large project as Tarzan.
The latter is already finished and will be released next summer.
He looks out over the palm trees next to the hotel.
- Right now it just feels nice not knowing what to do next year or even tomorrow.
