NEW/old video that I took of Alexander Skarsgård at the Esquire Townhouse event in London on October 19, 2019. He was asked about playing Randall Flagg in THE STAND. It was previously reported that series would be 10 episodes but Alex confirmed it will only be nine episodes.
[I believe the interviewer was saying that Alex was playing the role of Randall Flagg in The Stand before my video starts]
Interviewer: Is that right?
Alex: That’s correct.
Interviewer: Now that’s based on the epic Stephen King novel, [The Stand] and is going to be a ten-part miniseries on American TV. [CBS All Access]
Alex: (interrupting) Its nine.
Interviewer: It’s 9 now?
Alex: Yeah.
Interviewer: Is it less good?
Alex: Oh, I think that it was so good that they had to shrink it down…
Interviewer: (interrupting) shrink it down
Alex: yeah, shrink it down because it was too much of the good stuff.
Interviewer: That character Randall Flagg is one of Stephen King’s darkest villains. He appears in lots of his books and he’s kind of gone beyond the novice of some indication of evil.
The sweater shows up as a different color in so many different photos. I believe it was olive green. And of course he was wearing his Desert Boots from Clarks Shoes.

Alexander Skarsgard on swapping True Blood for Tarzan…and his most controversial role yet
Interview by Teddy Jamieson for the Scotland Herald [photo by Paul Stuart]
When he was 19 Alexander Skarsgard signed up for national service. He didn’t do it for a laugh. He didn’t do it because he’d always wanted to join the army. He didn’t do it because he wanted to fire a gun. He didn’t even do it because he wanted to react against his lefty bohemian upbringing as embodied in his actor dad Stellan Skarsgård.
He is clear on this when I suggest it might have been. “I don’t know about rebellion,” he tells me as we talk almost 20 years later. “I come from a family of anarchists and socialists and pacifists and I was never into guns myself. I wouldn’t say I did it to p*** off dad or anything.”
Imagine if Alida had written a message for Bill on his birthday like the one Eija wrote for her husband, It would have been so cute😪 but some people can't be cool and prefer messing with her every time she's posted something with him, so I get it. thank god these are the least and most people in the fandom is great❤ but it would be cool if they relaxed and were not afraid to post something like she used to do before
Haha but Eija and Zeke is kind of extreme too, they seem to be so in love. I'm not a fan of declaration of love online because it always is so corny and unpersonal but I actually buy their loud love, they are just that couple (One of very very few) that gets away with it.
With this I don't mean Bill and Alida's love isn't real, of course it is, I just mean I'm kind of happy she doesn't post such things because I always cringe so hard at such posts. It most often make me roll my eyes at the couple haha 🙈
