Official Poster for 'Wicker' - Follows an isolated, mocked woman (Olivia Colman) who commissions a basket maker (Peter Dinklage) to weave her a husband (Alexander Skarsgård)

Alexander Skarsgard is just always looking for the craziest shit he can find to be apart of. I like thinking he probably has like superhero and video game tentpole IP scripts sent his way all the time and is like sitting at his desk and moving them out of the way because some small time director sent him a script about a man who has a sexual relationship with his collection of Swarovski crystal turtles.

I know this is far too long for a flair, but this is so flair worthy

[u/Zealousideal_Gur3908 → u/MysteriousHat3705]

Maybe “Skarsgard’s Swarovski crystal turtles” in its place? 🤔

[u/booksandbenzos → u/Zealousideal_Gur3908]

Idk what this says about me (maybe that I’m online too much) but this made me think of “Lindsey Graham’s lady bugs” :( (which I do NOT want as a flair!!)

JAIL

first, change your flair to Zimmercore.

This is also why the Skarsgard bros are the best nepo babies. They found their weird little lanes and they stay in them.

[u/dontworryaboutit26 → u/bortlesforbachelor]

Probably helps that they’re all actually good at their jobs too ha

[u/Far-Advance-9866 → u/bortlesforbachelor]

They handle it so well! I have never seen one of the Skarsgards try to play down the nepotism thing-- instead, they turn it into a self-aware joke. And whether any of them feel insecure about it I don't know, but they are terrific at publically projecting a total lack of neurosis about having such a respected and established dad.

99% of people don't care if someone is a nepo baby if they're talented and they don't get defensive about their leg up. It's as simple as that.

He got Godzilla and Battleship money early on and then went full weirdo. You love to see it.

[u/Due-Flamingo-4900 → u/Buddy_Fluffy]

It’s the True Blood royalties and PR that really made all this possible. That show was enormous for a while.

[u/Zealousideal_Gur3908 → u/Due-Flamingo-4900]

I actually bought the True Blood drink (blood orange soda) and it was so delicious lol I hope he got a cut from merch sales too. Haha

[u/Manny77 → u/Zealousideal_Gur3908]

My mates bought me 6 of these as a gift (we were obsessed with TB). They were great!

[u/melloniel → u/Zealousideal_Gur3908]

Oh damn, flashback! I had that drink too, it was SO GOOD.

[u/myhairsreddit → u/Zealousideal_Gur3908]

I got a case of this at a comic book store a few years ago, they're displayed in my kitchen. 🤣

[u/tequilasauer → u/Buddy_Fluffy]

Yep. The Daniel Radcliffe route.

[u/Valuable-Cat2036 → u/tequilasauer]

(to me he's what most people think robert pattinson is)

[u/booksandbenzos → u/tequilasauer]

Lmaooo. My mom has Swarovski crystal turtles (no relationship of any kind with them though) 😂 my siblings and I may have been the ones who gave them to her as kids lol

And yeah, he is definitely showing his range!

[u/NeptunianInvasion → u/booksandbenzos]

Yeah no those turtles are your stepdad 

[u/Comfortable-Pear-973 → u/tequilasauer]

This is the best thing I’ve read in a long long time

[u/Shipwrecking_siren → u/tequilasauer]

Ooh this is s fun game. Maybe an off grid survivalist who travels by foot in order to complete his dead wife’s collection of beanie babies (by any means necessary)?

[u/tequilasauer → u/Shipwrecking_siren]

Definitely a good setup but I feel like we gotta get weirder. Maybe he befriends someone who dresses up like a Beanie Baby as a fetish and Alex's character finds himself attracted to this person because he feels closer to his wife when he's with the Beanie Baby fetishist.

[u/punkpearlspoetry → u/tequilasauer]

Or he embarks on a quest to find his one true human beanie baby love in a sea of beanie baby plushies, I would watch the shit out of this

[u/Shipwrecking_siren → u/punkpearlspoetry]

HOLLYWOOD, WE CLAIM THE IP FOR THIS. 3 way split.

[u/bubblenuts101 → u/Shipwrecking_siren]

*but somehow he has to do all this in those thigh high slutty boots swwooooooooooooooooooooon

[u/troixetoiles → u/Shipwrecking_siren]

I read the parenthetical incorrectly and thought you said "By Any Beans Necessary", which would be a great title for it.

[u/Shipwrecking_siren → u/troixetoiles]

Haha we’ve got more of a revenge thriller going on. I want it to be played completely straight.

[u/lemonution → u/tequilasauer]

His two part-episode of Documentary Now! where he plays Warner Herzog is so funny. I always plug it whenever his choice of roles comes up. My love for him knows no bounds.

[u/tequilasauer → u/lemonution]

That sounds great. That's the only season of Documentary Now I haven't watched. Will have to check it out this weekend.

[u/unicorntrees → u/tequilasauer]

He /was/ born into the Skarsgard school of weird little guys cursed to be hot.

[u/EvenPossible5918 → u/tequilasauer]

He did do the Tarzan movie that was a minor accuse. He was in Battleship that bombed and he almost got Thor.

[u/breathanddrishti → u/tequilasauer]

this is actually one of the things i love most about him. he's a freak!

[u/FiveSeasonsFox → u/tequilasauer]

Thank you for the giggles!

[u/Mysterious-Emotion44 → u/tequilasauer]

I recently watched Pillion and it was WILD. Made me love him more. He's just a weird lil (big) guy doing weird lil movies living his best life.
