Alexander Skarsgard Gets Naked On Set of True Blood

Alexander Skarsgard apparently really gets in to his work.

Stories are coming out that the star of True Blood wanted to make the rest of the cast and crew comfortable with his nakedness – since he seems to be that way on the show a lot – so he got naked for an extended period of time.

Or maybe he just likes to be naked since he comes from Sweden, where it isn’t a big deal.

But how can it not be a big deal – it is COLD in Sweden for much of the year! Anyway, Alexander’s co-star Kristin Bauer spilled it to E! Online via celebitchy:

“He was once naked for about eight hours and he’s completely comfortable with it,” says Kristin Bauer, who plays Eric’s devilish sidekick Pam. “He’s Swedish. My husband’s band toured in Sweden and he said that just how it is. There’s no puritanical background there. It’s nice because it makes all of us more comfortable with it.”

Bauer says there’s no update on Skarsgård slipping into pink spandex on the show like his character does in the Charlaine Harris’ original Sookie Stackhouse book series. “He’s not in pink spandex yet,” she said. “If it doesn’t happen, I’m going to just beg him to do it just for me.”

As for Bauer herself getting naked again, she’s already preparing for it. “When I’m on hiatus I never go to the gym—never!” she admitted. “But after my first wardrobe fitting, I go four days a week.”

Those stars of True Blood deserve a lot of credit. Not only do they know their parts and characters well, but they have to bring it with the lines while hardly wearing clothes half the time it seems. Sadly, you won’t get to see any of this nudity until the summer when Season 4 debuts.
