Alexander Skarsgard Addresses Viral Comments About His Sexuality
A wave of speculation regarding Alexander Skarsgård’s sexuality has surfaced online. The discussion ignited after his appearance at the Zurich Film Festival last fall. During the event, the actor promoted his new film, “Pillion.” In this drama, he portrays a biker who engages in a relationship with a male character played by Harry Melling.
Comments Spark Controversy
While at the festival, Skarsgård made remarks that led to interpretations of him coming out as bisexual. He stated, “I do have a kid, but what I’ve done in the past, who I’ve been with, men, women.” This comment was perceived by fans as a revelation about his personal life.
Setting the Record Straight
Skarsgård has since clarified the situation in a new interview with Variety, released on January 20. The 49-year-old actor emphasized that the viral moment was merely a misunderstanding. He remarked, “It was definitely not an intended statement. I don’t know what I was talking about.”
His intention, he explained, was to highlight the film’s authenticity rather than focus on his own background. The actor seeks to shift the narrative towards the story and its characters.
Personal Life and Priorities
In the same interview, Skarsgård discussed his evolving lifestyle. He noted that he has adopted a less nomadic lifestyle as he focuses on fatherhood. He shares a child with actress Tuva Novotny, reflecting a commitment to family amidst his acting career.
