True Blood star Alexander Skarsgaard was restrained by police during Saturday's Coachella Music Festival, in Indio, Calif., according to a report.
Pacific Coast News reports the 33-year-old actor was photographed being held back by a police officer, fists clenched, after he became angered by a paparazzo taking shots of Skarsgard and rumored girlfriend Kate Bosworth.

Skarsgard was calmed down by the officer before the situation escalated and no arrests were reported.
Earlier in the evening, Skarsgard was spotted giving Bosworth, 27, clad in a blue tie-dye print halter dress, a ride on his shoulders.

Tell Us What You Think
25I wish people would leave celebs alone! I'm so sick of the paparazzi, don't blame him one bit for getting pissed off with them!
What? Why did you remove my comment, usmag? It isnt rude, is it? :/ I wrote: He's a great guy and yes he was drunk, I don't like violence but wouldnt you be fed up if the paps were following you around on a music festival out in the open where one goes to be yourself and enjoy yourself? He's still a private person, he very anti-diva hasnt changed and his integrity should've be respected, the paps really have no limits. He's not a violent person but he gets drunk sometimes (like most swedes, lol.) If the paps were more respectful a situation like this wouldnt happen. The paps are practically harassing Kate since several years back, but she is used to it. I have been a fan of Skarsgard for a year now and he's a very behaved, balanced, sympathetic and sweet person, but they need to respect his integrity and privacy, saying they are free to harass him just because he's a star is so hypocratic. Plus his Viking blood comes out when drunk :P He's great and if you judge him on this you apparently dont know much about him..
Hypocritical! :D sorry.

I saw this happen! the papparazzi was taking his pic coming out of the port a potty and was waiting there for him to come out... alexsander was fine with pics alll the rest of the weekend....
ALEXANDER IS HOT ..
Well first things first, it is given that there will be paparazzis. Kate is as mentioned before a B list actress and actually Alex is a very hard working actor who will make his way up to Oscars. I am sure he is having lots of fun with her but honestly he is a college grad and worked very hard despite his looks. She must have provoked him so that they will get more attention. He is climbing up the stairs one by one and doesn't need bad publicity and due to his training I am sure he can kick some ... if they want some privacy they can always go abroad and never let anyone know yes ?
Yikes, not good!
OMGosh!! OMGosh!..JEN ANISTON'S NEW PERFUME IS CALLED "LOLAVIE"... ..In 2004 Angelina Jolie played "LOLA" in the SHARK T A L E S MOVIE!! ..2004 is when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie MET on the set of Mr. and Mrs. SMITH!! ...and the definition of "VIE" is a Verb; to 'compete for something; engage in a contest; measure oneself against" ...AND "VIE" could also mean "LIFE" ....SO ANISTON IS EITHER SENDING A MESSAGE TO BRAD THAT SHE WANTS TO 'COMPETE' WITH ANGELINA FOR HIS LOVE!!!...... OR.... ...SHE IS SENDING A MESSAGE THAT SHE WANTS TO LIVE ANGELINA'S "LIFE"!!!... ...OR ....THAT SHE WANTS LOLA'S (ANGELINA'S) "LIFE"!!..((GULP))...JIMMINY CRICKETS! OMYGOODNESS!..THAT'S SO S I C K!!
did you ever play the game of exchanging photo? it's really fun that you can never know what you will see. email me at angela baby at ip al.( 0m, i will show u first.
Ummm - last time I checked having your hand half in your pocket doesn't equate to "fists clenched". Alex is one of the best celebs to photograph because he genuinely recognizes that it's a part of his job... seems to me that this is yet another case of papparazo trying to harass an actor into unbecoming behavior. Leave the man alone you insects!
Something doesn't add up here. Alex never has a problem being photographed. You'd have to be pretty obnoxious to upset him that way. People should just stop harrassing them. Snap your pic and move along.
I've never even heard of this clown nor his rumored girlfriend. They should be happy anyone's taking pics of this nobody.
He is so hot. Why is he with that greasy rat Kate Bosworth? She's fug times 10.
tough guy actor at the honky music fest? Save your money sweetie. They might not be talking your picture much longer.
i never saw a pic of someone grabbing his crotch and him smiling... i saw a pic of someone grabbing his belt, as he looks like he's about to go off on someone. but maybe i saw i differant picture?!?
What a total toolbox! He's the doofus who's been parading all around Coachella all weekend, posing and preening with Kate "Hot Mess" Bosworth and smiling while someone grabs his crotch from below. Now he's SOOO offended that someone wants to take his picture? Give me a break. He probably was jealous that the paps were paying attention to someone with more talent or charisma, so he had to do something to divert the attention to himself.
I wanna do bad things with him...
I wanna do bad things with him...
The reason that the press are following these two is because they are denying anything is going on between them... So you have to ask yourself... is this just another ploy for press coverage or is he really protecting their privacy? Coming clean about their relationship may stop the 'honeymoon' period, but surely this is better them being followed at each turn. Alex... its time you made a decision babe,claim her as your own or just stop playing to the press.. you might get some peace then.
