Alexander Skarsgård, actor, on the idea that he
wasn’t taken seriously early in his career because he was too good-looking:
“I don’t really know if that was the reason I wasn’t getting
roles. Starting out in Sweden, there was stuff about being tall and blond. But
most people here are tall and blond. Still, after my first job, I was on a
stupid ‘sexy hunky hot list’ and then people didn’t take me seriously. If you
want characters with depth but have been labeled ‘a dude who takes his shirt
off,’ you’re not going to get those offers. I was questioning why I was in the
industry.”
I think sometimes men, and women, especially in Hollywood,
are seen only for their looks, and quite a few ride that for as long as they
can. Others, like Skarsgård, seem to have to ‘prove” their talent.
Now, that said, he is one tall hot hunk, and I take that
very seriously.

Well, are you surprised at the superiority complex of the xtianists? I'm not. They will carry that holier-than-thou attitude to the grave. Fuck them.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you and taking tall hot hunks VERY seriously. Hi, there, Alexander. I'll be seeing your movie.
I'm glad you offered Jarrod the OCOTO and the copy of the Gay Agenda. I forgot to include those in my post. LOL
XOXO
Why do all these faux Christians think that god is looking out for them and only them? I bet the Russian Orthodox patriarch reckons god is looking out for him and Putrid, but certainly not those pesky Nazis in Ukraine. It seems to be a symptom of modern Christianity that god approves of the most vile things, which surely cannot be right if the New Testament is correct.
ReplyDeleteThat basketball dribbler has been dribbling way too much.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to tell Bianca that God made her this stupid for a reason.
Didn't Skarsgard play a tall, blond, bisexual vampire in True Blood? For 3 or 4 years? Hhhmmm
Palin is in a field of 50 vying for that Senate seat, so prepare yourself for more crazy.
Way to go, Jerrod!
Carmichael... everything grows in its own time.
ReplyDeletePalin is seriously frightening. I hope Alaska has the sense... wait. I... I can't finish that sentence.
Alexander. Boo hoo. Him born handsome? Suck it up, buttercup. Whatta tool.
Garcia! Yes. She is crazy. Which means... she'll be president in eight years!
Staley. Wow. The ego. Spare me your mythology. Wow. How do people like her find their shoes in the morning?
Kizzes.
To quote the modern bard, "religion is in the hands of some crazy ass people." (Jimmy Buffett.)
ReplyDeleteThe crackpot Christians make seriously Spiritual people mad because they tend to get all the publicity any Extremist does and not all people who truly are Believers are that crazy or extreme. The crackpot Extreme Politicians are just as bad, and yet, both camps of crackpots do have their following of the crackpot Lovers and it's amazing to me how much stupidity is out there to latch onto the most absurd and outrageous bullshit all the crackpots say and claim they actually Believe.
