Alexander Skarsgard revealed to Out magazine how he deals with the long winters in Sweden – “When you’re bored, just have sex.” I’m all for that, as long as it’s actually with Alexander Skarsgard.

In the interview, Alexander talks about Swedes and sexuality, American media obsession with nudity and how True Blood is changing U.S. television.

The United States fixation on nudity: “…that always strikes me as weird because parents in the States freak out if their kids see a nipple or a butt cheek, but, at the same time, they’re OK with their kids watching people bash each other’s heads in with baseball bats. In interviews in the U.S. all people want to talk about is nudity…. If it makes sense as a scene, I’ll do it. I don’t even think about it.”

What Alexander misses about Sweden: “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.” After interview Jonas Åkerlund interjects that the long winters create “boning season,” Skarsgård quickly agrees. “And that’s also why we’re so liberal and so cool with our sexuality – because we f*ck a lot [laughter],” he says. “When you’re bored, just have sex.”

True Blood challenging American attitudes: “Yeah, well, we’ve really come a long way. What’s interesting is when you have a character like Lafayette, who’s black and gay, if you can find someone – some guy who doesn’t know any gay people or black people, who may have all these prejudices – if that guy watches the show and thinks, I really like this character, then you’ve done something pretty good.”
