It turns out that Alexander attended not one, but two “Pillion” screenings on February 6, both of which had a Q&A with Alexander himself, Harry Melling and Harry Lighton at the end. One of them, presumably the 1st one, was hosted by Outfest and actress Elle Fanning, while the 2nd one was hosted by CAA and actress Zoey Deutch. Our gallery has been updated with images from the CAA screening – which is the one we were missing, and you can watch a video of it below.

Time magazine has shared a recent interview with Alexander, which mainly focuses on the film “Pillion”. You can read it below.

Not every actor would jump at the chance to star in a movie about a gay BDSM relationship, in which an older sex-god-type dom takes in a naive younger guy, assigns him to the role of sub (along with a litany of daily chores), and does whatever he wants to him sexually. But when Alexander Skarsgård read the script for Pillion, his only thought was: “Yes.”

“I just wanted this movie to exist,” he says from his home in Stockholm. “I just wanted this to be out there.”

Pillion premiered last year at Cannes, where it won an award for its screenplay by Harry Lighton, who adapted Adam Mars-Jones’ 2020 novel Box Hill: A Story of Low Self-Esteem for his feature directorial debut. It finally hits U.S. theaters Feb. 6, following near-unanimous praise by critics and a press tour that featured Skarsgård donning plenty of leather for photo opps.

It’s been a busy time for the actor. He attended Sundance in January with two premieres—a mockumentary with Charli XCX and a romantic fantasy in which he plays a wicker man opposite Olivia Colman—and has been publicly supporting his father Stellan’s awards campaign for Sentimental Value. Pillion also arrives during a big moment for gay representation onscreen, driven by mass enthusiasm for Heated Rivalry, a romance that does not shy away from explicit depictions of gay sex, much to the delight of an audience that includes viewers of all genders and sexualities. The question Pillion asks is whether mainstream viewers are ready for a gay romance that is decidedly less vanilla.
