ALEXANDER Skarsgård seemed to have left his trousers at home during an appearance on Lorraine saying he wanted “to be sexy.”
The Swedish star was in London to promote his new Apple TV+ series, Murderbot, wearing nothing but a waist-length jacket which hid a pair of blue shorts as he was seated.
Alexander sat down with Ranvir Singh on Friday’s installment of the ITV show, fresh off his high-fashion, headline grabbing red carpet outfits at the Cannes Film Festival.
Ranvir pointed out his choice of outfit saying: “Your fashion, and can I just mention it today, you’ve got your legs out.
“You’re wearing shorts, which is the theme of the fashion segment today. Your fashion is so out there and free,” she added referring to his Cannes outfits.
He thanked her and added he chose the outfit because: “I wanted to be sexy today.”
“There’s nothing sexier than a middle-aged man in a British schoolboy uniform.”
Ranvir then asked the actor to stand up and show off his outfit, which he obliged by standing with his arms up and doing a little curtsy.
People watching at home reacted to Alexander’s outfit on X, formerly Twitter.
“Alexander Skarsgard on #Lorraine was an experience…. There was no shot without knee in it, then he stood up… wow…. Someone forgot his trousers again. Seeing a theme here sir!” wrote one person.
Another added: “Alexandra Skarsgard is an ICON.”
And a third commented: “‘He’s still gorgeous, regardless of his odd fashion choices.”
Alexander rose to fame thanks to his breakthrough performance on HBO vampire drama, True Blood.
He is an Emmy and Golden Globe winner thank to his role opposite Nicole Kidman in another HBO drama, Big Little Lies.
Alexander’s other TV credits include Succession and The Stand.
He has also starred in movies such as, Zoolander, The Northman and The Legend of Tarzan.
The actor’s new series, Muderbot, sees him play a robot who acquires human feelings, but must hide its free will to complete a dangerous assignment, but when all he really wants to do is watch futuristic soap operas.
