I keep hearing about this Alexander Skarsgard dude, usually wedged between the words “beautiful,” “amazing,” and “I would literally kill someone for the chance to touch his bare chest.” But honestly, I’ve got no idea who he is. I think I can assume he is an actor, or maybe a musician? Or perhaps a model, he is a very good looking guy. Up until now, though, I ignored His Holiness because there is kind of a surplus of attractive men in Hollywood and I can’t keep track of them all.

After this interview with Out magazine, though, I can see why he is so highly regarded. He sounds like just our type of guy.

Skarsgård: Also, I think part of the reason why there are so many musicians coming out of Sweden is you’re encouraged to play an instrument, or to sing and be creative, from a very early age, and it’s free. It’s a combination of a good school system and the long, dark winters. Because that means people sit in their garages and play music for five months because it’s too cold and dark to be outside.
Åkerlund: That’s the boning season. [Laughter] And then it’s spring, and that’s also boning season. And summer’s the best boning season.
Skarsgård: And that’s also why we’re so liberal and so cool with our sexuality — because we f— a lot [laughter].
Åkerlund: How much time can you spend playing the drums?
Skarsgård: When you’re bored, just have sex.

Um, WHAT? Yes please, this is a guy who’s got his priorities straight. And WHAT’S THIS ABOUT SWEDEN? Four seasons of non-stop boot-knocking?! IS THAT PLACE NARNIA? Especially considering its women-folk look like this, I think it’s safe to say we should all call it a day, go home, pack our sexiest underwear up in an old Vons bag, and move today. It’s in our best interest.
