One of the things that I like about Alexander Skarsgard is that he is a regular person. As someone who takes sports a tad too seriously (I will never get over Adam Deadmarsh hitting the goal post in the 2000 Western Conference Finals. NEVER), I appreciate Skarsgard’s devotion to the teams and the sports that he loves. So I thought I would pay tribute to Skarsgard: The Sports Fan.
In a recent interview with the UK’s Daily Telegraph, Skars talked about how a recent encounter with the Hammarby football team brought out his inner fanboy.
“I took them out after they played LA Galaxy. I live in Hollywood and meet all these celebrities and I couldn’t care less. I was at a bar with a bunch of footballers from south Stockholm and I’m crying I’m so happy.
“Someone who doesn’t support a team will never get it. These are 22-year-old kids from south Stockholm. They’re not Lionel Messi. They’re not even the best team in Sweden. We’re in the second division right now. But I will never get more star struck than that.”
And in other sports news …
Skars makes a great cheerleader.
Skars talks hockey.
Skars talks about how it can be difficult being a fan of a team that is not that good.
I love hockey so much that I love seeing Skars in a hockey jersey … even if it is a New York Rangers jersey.
Any sports fan knows that team ownership issues can be cause for concern. Here is Skarsgard at Bajen Aid.
Finally, I bet as a Swedish sports fan, Skarsgard had to have seen this … and cheered loudly. (Note: Skarsgard does not appear in this video but my favorite hockey player does. I am including it because I think this is awesome. You may not want to click on this if you are from Canada)
Love him! Such a fanboy! Thank you for the post.
OMG! He looks good in that hockey jersey but Alex and I have to talk, he needs to be in a Wings Jersey as damn near most of them are Swedish! I love how he is a huge fanboy!
IKR? That Rangers’ jersey has GOT TO GO. LOL
Blue is an excellent color on Skars though. I try to focus on that and ignore the Rangers stitching.
This is true!
I have 2 strikes against me then…1) I’m Canadian 2) I’m a Detroit Red Wings fan and the Avalanche SUCK, most of all Forsberg! LMAO Just had to share that piece of info before commenting! LOL
Anyways, thanks for all the pics and videos! Alex really IS a sports fanboy! LOL I love it!
Ugh. I’m going to have unapprove your comment.
Sorry for talking smack on your blog
Now, back to Skarsgarding at the sexy fanboy! 
It is a sports post as well and seeing as it is the playoffs, I see no reason not to talk smack!
