@Akilleus the website and videos are trash but celebrities reading thirst tweets is celebs reading thirst tweets - not gonna say no to that!
I'M m sure they are porn twets buenas now!! Jajajajaja
🔥✊
Alright well looks like I need to go back and watch paparazzi again
Ikr same
I did and I truly regret it. Lady Gaga blows ass
Me too 😅
Claudia Garcia Mera 🤦♀️
Claudia Garcia Mera tasteless. She’s the greatest artist of our generation.
Alex is one of the main reasons I started watching True Blood, he's so handsome
I read Alex as "Eric" lol
Back at it again with the thirsty comments Scarlett, really?
@@hata3128 😂
Alex is the only reason why I kept watching True Blood. Cause that show is horroble
Same and he wasn’t in it till like the thrid episode and I just remember being like super impatient waiting for him to get his screen time haha
“Lady GuGu”
GuGuGaGa
The brand 'lady gaga' will never be the same
This made me think of Madam Gugu from ant farm
He'll always be Eric Northman to me 🤤
Lauren Schweitzer First season Eric with that long hair. 😍
Always!! Lolol
Him sitting on a couch at Fangtasia. Oh God I miss the show so much! #Trueblood
Me too.
ALWAYS 💓
As he ages, you can see the resemble to his dad more. So gorgeous!
Hey he's only 42 jiji still young!!
Agree. He looks like his dad but better looking.
His tan, clenching bicep is all I’m looking at 😍
Ok and I thought I was the only one.
Lmao thx yes
Me too
In looking at his thighs lmao and ass
Wow, I remember him in the Paparazzi video crazy how quickly time goes
You right
Me, too...
Seb Stan AND Alex Skarsgard??? What a show
I met him right after True Blood ended and I was speechless. He is sooo much hotter in the flesh AND he was so lovely
I envy you 😢
He begin to look like his daddy. Maybe he can play as young Dr. Selvig. I love the character so much
You’re right. He is starting to look like he should be my daddy.
@@sethbrolsma516 back off
@@sethbrolsma516 this comment deserves more recognition 🤣🤣
Seth Brolsma I CANT BREATHE
Dear Marvel Studios.. Please cast him as Adam Warlock
Holy shit balls yes pleasee
He looks exactly like him
I think he'll be better as Dr. Doom but that's just my opinion.
@@incredibletom7099 I could agree with that too! Villainous acting wise, he could totally pull it off. But if you got that looks might as well show it off lmao but also, Adam has already been teased in GOTG2, so we might see him sooner than Dr. Doom. Whatever, whichever character tho, I'm sure he could ace it well.
Yes
First time he has a Swedish person on without talking about midsummer... progress my friends
For reeeeeeeeaaal
kzhead.info/sun/gNyuXbqmiJSlpa8/bejne.html Another occasion, though
That's because Jimmy has already asked him.
It’s bc it’s not his *first* time on the show ❤️
Tomorrows midsummer
"They thought I had a meltdown.." 😂😂😂
that britney shade tho
I remember watching Lady Gaga's music video for "Paparazzi" on MTV back in the day. I freaked the hell out with fangirl feels when I realized my love Alexander Skarsgard plays the love interest in this MV. I only began watching HBO's True Blood in Season 2. He is an incredibly versatile actor and so humble. I love watching his press junket interviews on the late night programs.
Still a babe all these years later
Hes freaking gorgeous
Idk why but “Lady GooGoo” made me laugh out loud lmao
Man, when I think about that Paparazzi video... Her entire album was sooooo LEGENDARY, she made pop fresh again.
0:42 How he said Jonas Åkerlund.... Zzzzzzaddddddddy.
It's like us Swedes are incapable of doing that quick switch between languages when we're supposed to prounounce Swedish names or our own names so we just make the weirdest sounds 😂
That was so fucking hot lol
Just Chilin So👏fUCkiNg👏Hawwwwt👏
CatchTheLoveBug 🤣Us boring ass Americans with English are just jealous of those amazing weird sounds 🤣 especially when they come from a hot ass guy 😂🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
NY Nurse uum.... maybe you should be made aware that you’re using the flag for Switzerland instead of the swedish one. Or maybe not, cos it’s hilarious when ppl get it wrong. Hilarious and baffling. Intriguing really.
He is adorable and very funny! I never watch him in interviews before. I thought he was so masculine but he has a sweet personality and his voice is higher haha
First time I listen his voice I was like "whaaaaaaaaat?" ha ha ha, but now I love it. You need to watch him in an interview with Anya Taylor Joy, they are adorable and funny
He does such an amazing job in Big Little Lies. he's so terrifying there but here, he's so opposite
Ooooo I didn't know this show existed, I MUST check it out, I LOVE him 😁😍
I miss you, Eric Northman, my all-time favorite True Blood character.
Same! And the fact that him and Sookie didn't end up together just makes me so mad!
this guy is crazy handsome in the drama with Nicole!
The Christian Grey that we deserve
I still laugh over his bit part in Zoolander. But I will forever love him as Eric Northman. He was so intense. His dad and brother are good actors too
The part where he said the paparazzi was like, "Aww!" took me out! 😂😂😂
I love the way he acted on true blood.still can't get over him and came all the interviews he has done. Love him.
Stellan Skarsgård, you sir did an awesome job! ♡
7 times! 8 if you count the latest kid.
All his kids are gorgeous which makes me wonder what the mom looks like (of the first 5 kids, not the younger ones)
From Lady Gaga to Iceman to True Blood. Talk about range.
jberkhimer from Zoolander*
How have I gone my whole life not knowing Alex was the guy in paparazzi?
same
Saaaame
😅
Been loving him since I was 19, 10 years strong
The Skarsgårds have the sweetest smiles (and yes, even Bill) haha 💚 Alexander is a cute bean.
That feels like so long time ago, but I love that video. When she gets pushed off the balcony and people are just taking pictures, then it seemed unbelievable but now I can totally see it happening.
I am learning Swedish and I thinks it’s amazing he speaks English like he would Swedish. The very melodic sing song way.
Lady Gaga had her hand right on the pulse of culture back in the day
How absolutely charming his reaction is to Jimmy's reaction to Trueblood!
i was waiting for this for so many years omg
I get so excited whenever he gets interviewed by Jimmy.

I love him, he’s such a great actor
"I'm a very popular guy yeah" 😂😂😂💔
Sighhhh I so wanted him to be Christian Grey in 50 Shades
Ring My Belles Natural Hair Journey yessss like 😩😩😩😩🙃
Ooohhh yeahhh
3:49 The amount of times I've replayed this😂😂😂😂
He is so ridiculously adorable. Reminds me of innocent Eric when he lost his memory. 💟
Omg so I love Alex so much and this is the first time I've made the connection between one of my favorite Gaga songs and one of my favorite actors. Seriously I must have watched this video a million times while surfing Myspace in the early 2000s. Lol.
"Is he okay?" I died 😂😂😂
Love Alexander :D He's such a humble, likeable personality; very keen on sharing experiences honestly. #Dedication to his craft and sincere grounded-ness truly catapults this greatness.♡ #BestWishes
just love him. alexander skarsgard is the reason i started learning swedish (so he can fall in love with me ofc) (i wish i was joking)
Hahahahahahaha same!!!
I laughed so hard at this interview, especially when he said "Are you playing Ron Howard for a movie?"
I always wanted to hear him talk about that. Finally!! 🤗
There's a better video of it I just stumbled across (but have closed, should come up in a search for his & Gaga's name though) where he talks about kissing her on Paparazzi :)
@@lilaclizard4504 do u have a link?
@@DeanithForeverYoung didn't, but just found it again for you, so you've gotta come back & tell me what you think after warching it ok? :) Here you go kzhead.info/sun/gb6Ikr2ScKuQjIE/bejne.html
Wow they really cast great talents for Lady Gaga videos! Skarsgård and Norman Reedus are best!
I’ve loved him since true blood I rewatch true blood all the time just for him lol
I rewatch it and just FF through anything that isn’t Eric. ….Including everything that is “SOOOOHKEEEEHHHHHHH”
Love paparazzi still a bop and the ending had me laugh a couple of times .

He is hilarious. Very rare quality for good looking people. ❤️
He looks so relaxed and easy to talk to
the hottest Skarsgård, fight me
Bill skarsgard
Anyone else go back and watch Paparazzi ?
Did he just say Lady Gogo? 😂😂😭
Karla May it's one of the lines in Queens' Radio GaGa 😂💕
It's hilarious that he refers to True Blood as his "first gig" when he'd been a well known actor here in Sweden for 10 years before that. :P
He plays the serial killer/abusive man roles pretty well. It's always the nice men that play abusive roles really well.
I’m a great fan of him and his father!! ♥️
He is so freakin attractive 😍
Alex!! ❤❤
I was randomly watching this video a few days ago and was like "Alexander Skarsgård????" and now I see this video 3 days later haha😰
Love him ❤️
LOVE HIM in everything he’s in💞💞💞

When he does his wondering look then smiles, I suddenly see his father's face in him wow....
I need my Eric Northman back... I need a spin off series with him... and also he could be an amazing hero or villain in the Marvel or DC Universe
Omg he's voice is so much higher irl than in the tv shows he plays in
🖤 This made my day
Alexander has a lovely personality
Omg that Britney reference at the end))))))))
it wasnt a Britney reference
i'm literally on a Skarsgård binge on youtube omg
Same
I remember thinking it was so funny and weird, them speaking Swedish to eachother in the beginning of Paparazzi. Lady Gaga: Älskar du mig? Alex: Klart jag älskar dig. Lady Gaga:Puss puss Alex: Kom hit. Litar du på mig. Lady Gaga: Självklart. Sluta!
What does it all mean?
@@beki3520 Lady Gaga: Do you love me? Alex: Of course I love you Lady Gaga: Kiss kiss Alex:Come here. Do you trust me? Lady Gaga: Of course. Stop!
Omg his eyesssss
💕 He is a ma zing!
So nostalgic
the last time I listened to paparazzi *greyson chance* was still in the closet and belting it at a middle school talent show
holy damn i forgot about grayson chance lol i remember seeing his video with ariana grande when it first came out, lol what's he up to?
Skyler Grey // Sally Walker He actually just came out with an album and it’s super good! He’s really grown and changed but in a wonderful way.
@@Skyler_Momoko His April 2019 interview with Ellen kzhead.info/sun/jLKicdWBlnmciaM/bejne.html His latest album kzhead.info/sun/htSHnpdqf3NmhoE/bejne.html
Alex is sinfully gorgeous. Makes me wanna go to Sweden and catch me a man. 🤤😫
Trust me it’s not gonna be easy finding one that looks like Alexander... he’s very attractive in Swedish standards. The average Swedish guy is meh and more often than not men walking on the streets of Sweden are below meh lol
Thanks for your input. I’ll happily settle for ‘meh’.
I loved when he said "Jonas" so swedishly hahaha
Alex Skarsgard plays Canadian president in long shot.
Canada doesn't have Presidents...
When he said "that's me" yeah that s you bro haha
I love Alexander Skarsgård 💙💙

I like him as a bad detective with michael Pena that was a funny movie to watch
The movie was called War on Everyone

Jimmy: the video has gone over 200 mil views Alex: I'm a very popular guy Love his sense of humour. Lol
I think he’s a handsome man. He has a very unique look that makes him very attractive.
All I want is a hug for gaga ❤️
