Alexander Skarsgård Wants To Be Known For More Than His Pecs

Alexander Skarsgård, who plays viking vampire Eric on HBO's True Blood, wants to be known for more than just his hot, hot bod!

In the September Issue of Men's Journal, the actor opened up about the future of his career, saying:

“You tend to get a lot of offers that are, like, the hot guy and those parts aren’t very fun. I hope there’s something more to me than my pecs.”

There so is! His abs, eyes, biceps, hair, and butt are great too! LOLz!

We're only kidding! Well, actually we're not. All those things about him really are pretty great, but so is his acting!

If he couldn't act, we wouldn't be talking about him! It just doesn't hurt that he looks good with his shirt off too.

ASkars also has a sense of humor to add to his long list of seksi features. When asked about losing his virginity, he answered, “That was 2008, I think. Best eight seconds of my life.”

HA! It gets better too! He has been named Sweden’s Sexiest Man five times in a row, to which he joked:

“Every single day, I wake up and look in the mirror and think, Five times, mother****er. Five times.”

We know he's kidding, but we wouldn't care if he wasn't! Bragging rights are bragging rights!

We're sure ASkars latest performance as Kate Bosworth's crazy ex-boyfriend in the remake of Straw Dogs will help people realize he's not just a pretty face. Check it out in theaters this Friday!

A-Skars Is A Seksi Vamp

Oh, hello there abs.

If you missed out on this week's True Blood, then you missed out on looking at this perfect body of work.

Alexander Skarsgard aka Vampire Eric was shirtless for like, um, oh just the entire episode and we couldn't be happier.

The tall, long, and lean Swede is getting all romantical with our dear Sookie, which you think would be weird for co-stars and real life hubby and wifey Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. Luckily, Beeel Stephen has a pretty good sense of humor about it:

"I think it’s great for the show. I went up to him at the beginning of the season, and I just went, 'Look, I want you to do your job to the absolute best of your ability and I will not be around when you have to do that stuff. I don’t want you to feel like you’re looking over your shoulder and there’s me at the monitor going, Get your hands off her!' It’s absolutely not how we roll. Me and him are mates."

Not gonna lie, we think he should be a little worried. Has he SEEN A-Skars' abs?
