Iconic Stellan Skarsgård and his Swedish acting familyDon’t you also think that the name Skarsgard is as scarce as it sounds? Stellan John Skarsgard is a renowned actor that has been active for almost five decades now. The Swedish started out doing local films and stage works. In 1985, he took his first bold step towards becoming an international phenomenon. Noon Wine (1985) was Stellan’s first American film and that was it from then.
Date of Birth: June 13, 1951
Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Asides the fact that Skarsgard looks a lot like the iconic Liam Neeson, they share quite the same height of success. Isn’t it ironic that for one of the highest earning actors in history, acting was not a planned decision? The beloved Stellan has said many times that he never wanted to be an actor; in fact, the atheist actor says his dream was to be a diplomat. He owes his amazing career journey to happenstance as he just happens to appear in the very successful films.
You would have heard of quite a few other Skarsgards in the movie industry. Yes! Four of his kids are actors and he has been in relationship with women in same line of work. Stellan John might look on the outside like one of the perfect men on earth but really, he is just an ordinary family man with a peculiar sort of career. Read on to find out more about the Skarsgard children, his previous and present relationships.

Alexander Johan Skarsgard (son with My Agnes)
Date of Birth: August 25, 1976
Zodiac Sign: Virgo
The Swedish hunk that played Eric Northman on HBO’s True Blood is the first son to the iconic Stellan. Alexander is in so many ways just as talented as his dad and without a doubt, he would make more successes as time goes on. As an ordinary man, Stellan believed that to raise a good family one has to create ample time for each member. This belief was what made it a custom to bring his wife and kids along on set (one wife at a time though).
Alexander was first to be bitten by the acting bug. This was only expected considering the massive experience he had from being live at film shoots. The sexy Skarsgard was Tarzan, the title character in The Legend of Tarzan (2016). Regarding his love life, Alexander has been in a relationship with model and fashion journalist Alexa Chung since 2015.
