Alexander Skarsgard Jokes: I Lost My Virginity in 8 Seconds

Celebrity News September 13, 2011 AT 9:45AM By Zach Johnson

It's hard be the star of a sexed-up series like True Blood and not be asked about your own sex life.

And yet, when Men's Journal quizzes Alexander Skarsgard about when he lost his virginity, the October cover boy deadpans: "That was 2008, I think. Best eight seconds of my life."

Though he's been named Sweden's Sexiest Man five times running, the 35-year-old doesn't take the title too seriously. "Every single day, I wake up and look in the mirror and think, 'Five times, mother--ker. Five times.'"

All kidding aside, the Straw Dogs star says he hopes to one day be recognized for his talents -- and not just his model good looks.

"You tend to get a lot of offers that are, like, the hot guy," Skarsgard tells Men's Journal. "And those parts aren't very fun. I hope there's something more to me than my pecs."

I've seen some of Alex's Swedish films and of course every episode of True Blood. I just finished watching Generation Kill. He is so talented; and funny. I can't wait to see his acting capabilities in his upcoming films. I think he's on the way to major success as an actor. I'll always love True Blood and his character first and foremost but I know he's capable of more than his Eric role. Love to see him in romantic comedies. :)

augh he can really act, though, and i hope he gets recognized for something other than his perfectly amazing face also.

He is the PERFECT actor for the role of Eric in True Blood. He plays the part very well. I cannot wait to see him in Straw Dogs, another mysterious role for him. Other than tthat he is very attractive (whether he likes to be told that or not).
