The 6 feet 4, blond, Swedish actor – Alexander Skarsgard is quite the modern-day Casanova; his dating history can be described as legendary. Alexander has been known to attract beautiful women and is often the topic of several dating rumors.
Alexander Skarsgard, whose professional acting debut was made in 1984 on the set of Åke and His World, is currently one of the top entertainers in the industry.

Alexander Skarsgard’s Background
Alexander Johan Hjalmar Skarsgard is the eldest son of celebrated actor, Stellan Skarsgard and medical doctor My Skarsgard. He was born in Stockholm, Sweden on the 25th of August 1976 as one out of six children. Three of his younger brothers – Valter Skarsgard, Gustaf Skarsgard, and Bill Skarsgard – are also acclaimed actors in the entertainment industry.
A dig into his educational background revealed that the famous actor spent six months at Leeds Beckett University in England before proceeding to Marymount Manhattan College where he did a course in theatre. Although he started his acting career at the young age of eight, he abandoned acting at age sixteen to continue his education and pursue a career in the military. However, six months later, he found himself back home as a result of a romantic entanglement that did not last and subsequently, he re-established his acting career.
