Maybe the flash from the camera made the shirt look sheer. lol

I wondered that at the time - maybe it was just a very thin t-shirt. One can only hope.

I love the way that woman is desperately clutching at him

And Generation Kill is amazing - basically Skarsgard as "Iceman" is the best male combination in the world. Crazy tall, buff but not too buff attractive marine with intelligence, sensitivity and a broken heart. Seriously Him and Stark

I am becoming more aware of this I love the character already and I'm one episode in! I love his accent so much... Especially in the scene in episode one where they are driving during the invasion...

"Be magnanimous"
"What the f.ck does that mean?"
"Lofty and kinglike."

Seriously Him and Stark

my two favorites through out Generation Kill.

^ I win. Mine is today (the 26th). Plus, we're both having a "palindrome" birthday (him, 33, me 22). Coincidence? I think not!

i've been lurking this thread for a while now. i really got into him since Eric cut his hair

i'll post some Alex's quotes and facts just for fun

About girls and his favorite kind of girl:

• 
  [*] Dream woman has humor.
  [*]“She has self distance”
  [*]Has weakness for exotic and beautiful girls with a positive attitude.
  [*]“I like girls that are comfortable in themselves.”
  [*]“The most sexy as is is one natural girl in pony-tail and soft clothing.”
  [*]“She will gladly have humor also, we must be able to laugh together.”
  [*]He would never be unfaithful to a girl.
  [*] He lost his virginity between 8th and 9th grade on summer holiday. The experience was successful for him, but not for her, he says.
  [*]He says that he likes natural looking girls with no make up, comfortable clothes and good sense of humor.
  It´s very important for him that a woman is comfortable with herself. And he doesn´t like girls who care too much about how they look or drunk woman who are chasing him 4 at a morning in a bar…
  [*]Likes thin women.
  [*]Likes big boobs. What do you appreciate most about women? Alex: Sense of humor, honesty and incomparably huge boobs. (Just kidding!)
  [*]Doesn’t think women should get boob jobs just so men will have something to look at. Natural is better.
  [*]Question: Do you believe in sex before marriage? He answered: I believe in sex!
  [*]Doesn’t care about hair color, height, or age in preference to women… but seems to go for brunettes mostly.
  [*]Wants a large family…. like 6 kids. But he doesn’t know… he will have to see which girl he finds first.
  [*]He is always looking for the right girl.

He has said many times that he does not fall in love easy. He pulls away because he’s been hurt so many times. But he is starting to pull away slower and slower now. He’s had a few relationships and they were all unhappy.

• 
  [*]“Yes, I guess I´ll have quite many children, it´d be difficult to imagine some other way. Both mum and dad come from big families, and I like children of course, so I could have many kids. But I´ll see what happens in the future, it is not like I can mail order kids.”

Family is put on hold for now since his TV/Movie career keeps him so busy. But all of that will change when he meets the right girl and starts a family.

• He is not a vegetarian.
• He is cool with the nickname “Alex”
• Sails & goes fishing.
• He had to spend a night in jail when he was 17, because he was so drunk … The police called his dad and he only said when he picked him up that he knows that Alex is an intelligent person who knows how stupid he was so he doesn’t need to say anything more…
***please see tFS community rules***
• Does not smoke cigarettes. Cannot stand the smell of them… thinks they smell like a “b*tch!” But he likes the smell of cigars because the smell reminds him of his grandfather.

• Speaks Swedish, English and a little bit of French and German.
• He loves Spiderman.
• Been described by Alan Ball as an absolute sweetheart.

• Rents a house in L.A.

“It fits my self-image. Charismatic, a little too heavy, and with a slight smell of old leather.”
• Has one tattoo. His little brother Valter was 7 when he drew a bird on Alex’s leg. Alex took a picture of it and got it tattood 2 years later. But when he proudly showed Valter his tattoo, Valter only said:
“Did I really draw it? Can we go and eat pancakes now?”
But Alex’s mum was very moved by it.
• Prefers tattoos to piercings.
• Favorite food is Mexican.
• Favorite vacation spot: Mauritius

Ahhh, thank you so much for posting that little fact sheet on him. He seems like a cool dude and I'm happy for all of his success. I just hope the paps don't get on him. The last thing we want for him is to be RPattz 2.0!

 

[ptistin]

you are welcome! i don't think he will get anywhere near rpattz. Alex is not the kind of guy that attracts tweens. he is for the older ladies ( i mean over 18 ). that's what i think but i could be wrong

 

[kokobombon]

Thanks for the fun facts! lots of stuff in there makes me love him even more though we´ll need to "negociate sleeping arragements" lol

 

[queenie505]

Those little facts are so funny! Thank you

I don't think so either, for 2 reasons. 1. Because he is older, and 2. because he's not the embodiment of a character that a lot of people seem to have trouble accepting isn't real and differentiating between that and an actor And thank god for that lol

made me ...

I came across an amusing Swedish interview today.

Apparently when Alex went to theater school in NY he lived with a 55 year old Filipino designer named RenÉ who everyday made a pass at him

Quote from Askars:

- He was renting out several rooms and I noticed (after a while) that there were only 20 year old guys living there. When I was home studying he would tell me I looked tired and wanted to give me a massage. I just laughed. He knew I was straight, but didn’t seem to give up hope. Everyday he came by and tried to make something happen. I told him “Rene, stop it. I’m not going to suck your c*ck, you know the deal."

I felt I had to share that for some reason.
