The Swedish star about the new father's life ● Daring film ● The fake penis

The new movie "Infinity pool" is full of sex and violence scenes.

Privately, Alexander Skarsgård, 46, is busy being a new father.

- It feels good. But it's clear it's a bit unusual, he says.

The Swedish star is doubly current right now.

On Monday, the fourth and final season of the television series "Succession" premieres on HBO Max. Alexander Skarsgård was in some episodes of the last season. Now he is involved significantly more when the Roy family is about to sell their media empire Waystar Royco to the tech billionaire played by Alexander.

- The Lukas Mattson character hangs around and pokes fun at their company. It has been absolutely fantastic to be a part of. To get such a well-written script and to work with so many fantastic actors, he says.

"I laughed loudly"

Already today is the cinema premiere for "Infinity pool", a kind of horror thriller directed by B randon Cronenberg, son of David Cronenberg who has made many well-known films in the genre.

- This was a damn crazy movie, was the first thing I thought when I read the script. It's rare that something is so unique, hysterical and crazy in tone. I laughed out loud many times reading that.

"Infinity pool" is about the writer James Foster who is on vacation with his wife ( Cleopatra Coleman ) on La Tolqa, a paradise island in a fictional dictatorship (in real life Croatia). Another couple, Gabi and Alban ( Mia Goth, Jalil Lespert ), become their new friends and take them on an excursion, where everything goes wrong…

- The writer I play is a wounded bird when we first meet him. A failed writer, his self-confidence is at rock bottom, he questions a lot in life; himself, his talent, his relationship. So he's pretty easy prey for Gabi, all it takes is a little compliment to boost his ego.

Fake penis

Small compliment, yes... the movie's most talked about scene is when she unexpectedly starts masturbating him until it works for him. Everything depicted in close-up.

- The film is satirical, violent and sexy. It's a graphic film in many ways, you could say. I won't go into details, but the scene shows that she is the one holding the leash. That he is at a disadvantage and both scared and attracted and excited. An interesting scene to make…

In a foreign interview, Alexander has told us that it is a fake penis we see in the picture.

The film is also about certain people being cloned and in one scene a naked Alexander on a dog leash (!) fights with himself.

- I love that scene. Fighting another version of myself and then going into some kind of primal stage and nursing Mia Goth's breasts as she becomes some kind of mother figure to him… I like to dive in headfirst and let go of all inhibitions.

Fatherhood: "Quite unusual"

The last time Alexander and I were spoken to in a Zoom interview, I asked about his relationship with Tuva Novotny . He didn't want to talk about that. It belonged to private life.

But it is no secret that they have had a child together and now I ask how it is to be a new father.

- It feels good. We have a son who is eight months old now. It's going well, although it's quite unusual.
