Bill Skarsgård: "I'm better than Stellan was at 34"

As a child, he accompanied his father on business trips around the world. Today, it is Bill who brings his family to international film shoots - and terrifies cinema audiences with his bloodthirsty characters.

Even when he was a small child, Bill Skarsgård had seen more of the world than most of us do in a lifetime. When father Stellan filmed, Bill, his younger siblings Valter and Eija and mother My came along to the recordings. Often they were gone for months at a time in countries such as Mexico, the United States and Cambodia.

(translated through google)

- It was fantastic to grow up that way, says Bill. Mom homeschooled us, three hours a day. She was a fantastic teacher, so that meant that we were often a month and a half ahead of our classmates back home in Sweden.

It also meant that the three siblings had plenty of time and opportunities to get to know the countries. Bill continues:

- Cambodia is an incredibly poor country, with shootings. To see it as a child, to experience that contrast to life in Sweden... We became friends with the local children, and it was a privilege to see the world so early. It made me more humble and gave me a more complex view of the world. I am incredibly grateful to have been able to experience it.

Which of course leads to the follow-up question about how he himself does it, now that he himself has a successful career with long periods every year when he is away from home in Stockholm. Can the wife Alida and the children come along?

- They come to visit. It was easy now when we were filming in Prague, because if they felt that "now it's boring", then they could go home.

He laughs and says:

- Dad used to spend half of his salary on accommodation. The worst was when he made "The Exorcist" in Rome, then he rented a house that was visited by 70 people during the filming. I haven't gotten there yet, but I'm working on it.

Traveling with Stellan to various film shoots meant that the children sometimes had to come along to watch when dad worked in front of the camera.

- For me, that's the biggest reason why I fell in love with acting and filmmaking. I was completely mesmerized by the advanced illusions that were built. I think children understand acting better than adults do. I saw dad in a mustache and saw it for what it was. Children play thief and police, you dress up. That was a big reason why I chose this job.

Watched "Nosferatu" with dad Stellan as a child

The film that Bill shot in Prague was "Nosferatu" and it is to talk about it that we meet at the Nofo Hotel in Södermalm. Bill unfolds his 192 centimeters on a sofa, wearing a nice bright polo shirt and trousers. He is relaxed and happy, but conscious of keeping the most private things private.

"Nosferatu" is a remake of the silent film classic of the same name, which in turn was a theft of the plot of Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula". Stoker's widow sued the filmmakers and demanded that all copies be destroyed. Fortunately, some survived, and the film is today considered a horror film classic.

Even as a child, Bill saw the original film.

- It was Stellan who introduced me to it. We watched movies together and had a silent film period. We saw Chaplin , we saw "Nosferatu". I thought it was eerie and scary, but Dad also described how it had changed film history. There's something mysterious about that movie.

Bill plays the Transylvanian Count Orlok, who with the help of a broker is looking for a place to live in Germany. Orlok already has some kind of relationship with the broker's wife Ellen, played by Lily-Rose Depp . Perhaps we should mention that Orlok is a vampire and his journey towards and arrival in Germany brings pestilence and death.

Unlike other vampires, such as brother Alexander in the HBO series "True blood", this vampire does not have sharp canines, but is more of a loitering bloodsucker. And Bill looks really grotesque in the film, so one wonders what, for example, actor Lily-Rose Depp thought of playing someone so made up beyond recognition?

- We had many intimate scenes together and we talked a lot about it. She is outstanding in this role. She thought I looked really creepy and unpleasant, and she could use that. Then she knew it was me underneath. It helped.

- When the vampire sucks blood, it is a form of rape. Here we are as far from "Twilight" and "Interview with the Vampire" as it gets. We go back to the roots. We give the vampire a renaissance.

In recent years, Bill has played many roles in horror films, from the bloodthirsty clown Pennywise in the two "It" films to the television series "Castle Rock" and "Derry", all based on things written by the master of horror Stephen King .

- I don't know why there has been so much horror. I guess I attract a certain type of character and it works the other way too. I never had the ambition to be a horror actor. For me, it's always project-based – what does the script look like, who's the director? Now I'm super saturated when it comes to horror, but if a project comes along that brings something new, I'm interested.

The entire Skarsgårds family lives close to each other

As you know, Bill belongs to a large family. He has seven siblings, some of whom have children. He has a mother My, father Stellan and Stellan's current wife Megan . The jobs around the world mean that it is not always so easy to meet.

- But right now everyone has a base in Sweden, for the first time in a long time. As soon as everyone is home, we will hear from you and then we will see you at our local place in Söder. All live in Söder, ten minutes apart.

And then you see each other at dad Stellan's house, who is a good cook. Bill laughs when I ask if he himself is good at cooking.

- I am better than Stellan was at 34. Food is one of his biggest interests and I have grown up with it and learned. Although there was a lot of stuff like casseroles and Coq au vin, stuff that kids don't really like. And then I have married into the Per Morberg family, and he is also good at cooking.

In addition to constantly appearing on the big screen and in the TV box, the Skarsgård siblings stand out because they are tall, just like their father. They are visible. But Bill doesn't feel like they're being watched.

- There is nowhere where I feel safer than in Söder. I grew up here, I know half of the people who live here. They are probably tired of seeing me. And Swedes are not that pushy. It's probably when someone gets drunk.

"Quite Swedish of me in my clothing style"

Like many of his fellow actors, Bill appears from time to time as a model in fashion ads, including for H&M, while older brother Alexander recently worked with Calvin Klein. He says, with a laugh, that it's not about any fashion passion but that the companies pay well.

- It's fun with clothes, but in private I'm probably quite Swedish in my clothing style. I don't peacock much, but it can be fun to do it for a premiere, together with a stylist or a designer. But my usual clothing style is quite tame. Alex is even worse. There, only Converse, jeans and a t-shirt apply.

When we meet, there are a few weeks left until Christmas and Christmas celebrations with the big family. After the New Year, work awaits with the director Gus Van Sant and his new film "The prince of fashion", where Will Ferrell plays a man who takes his son to fashion week in Paris.

And jobs in Sweden? Yes, maybe.

- There is discussion about a continuation of the television series "Clark". I love that character and working with Jonas Åkerlund. •

snail, remember that little fancast of yours? alex skarsgård as doffy? yeah. it's been rotting my brain.

remember that subplot in season 4 of true blood when eric lost all his memories and turned into this softer and gentler version of himself, without his armour and and his sky high walls? now imagine doffy like this. maybe something happened, an attempt to overthrow his rule over dressrosa that resulted in him failing to block an attack for a devil fruit user (? idc something happened alright?) and now he is just like this. and it's your duty, as his precious, prized assistant, to keep him safe as word of the weakened warlord gets out. maybe you've hidden him away somewhere near but where still no one would think of looking for him. and he is so different like this. more innocent, sweet, every emotion he's ever perceived as weakness and therefore attempted to stifle is out on his sleeve. and so is his longing for you.

(the moment where eric told sookie if she kisses him he promises he'll be happy. yeah. THAT. but it's amnesiac doffy.)

of course he remembers everything that's happened once he regains his memories. and by then you're a looking at him in an entirely different way.

i just need some doffy softness i'm so down bad for this man it's ridiculous

THE WAY I NEED THIS AU IN MY LIFE. CAN YOU IMAGINE??

What if you were a marine? What if you knew him as a warlord? What if you were his assistant, privy to his every routine but know there are those who want to do him harm in his current state?

You just want to protect him, and you have to keep him isolated until his memories come back. And he's being so nice. He's flirting with you and he doesn't know how cruel he was in the past. He's a man lost, found while nestled comfortably in your private house.

Sure, he's a bit of an asshole, but he feels so vulnerable that he just wants to lean on you in his recovery.

AMNESIAC DOFLAMINGO, I NEED YOUUUU.

[deliciousangelfestival]

beside chris character for who would you write?

There's some characters made interested. But I don't have any ideas yet.

-Ben Barnes characters

-Rafe Cameron from Outer Bank

-Jake 'Hangman' Seresin from Top Gun : Maverick

-Bill Skarsgard character from John Wick 4 The Marquis (*I've wrote the plot but I lost it. I forgot what title I put in Google docs) 😅😅😅

-Alexander Skarsgard character Lukas Mattson from Succession. (His character would be perfect for annoying boss or business rival)

-Rick Flag

-Henry Cavill Sherlock Holmes

If you have any ideas/prompts that fit for these characters, you could send it to me.

❤️❤️❤️
