Swedish sexpot Alexander Skarsgard stars in the big-budget movie The Northman, set to be released in theaters on April 22nd! You may remember that the director of The Northman, Robert Eggers (the same director who thought up Robert Pattinson's masturbation scene in his movie The Lighthouse) promised us a nude swordfight on a volcano in The Northman. So there's that.

Until we get that nude volcano swordfight, why not check out some of the hottest gay and naked action Alexander Skarsgard has thrown our way? In The Northman he plays a Norse prince on a mission to avenge his father's death, but to us he'll always be the prince of nudity. Keep scrolling to see Skarsgard's Norse ass and cock! Very Norse, indeed.

Alexander Skarsgard's Hottest Role To Date

It may not surprise a single soul reading this that Alexander's hottest role yet is as the beautiful, buff, blonde, and buck-ass nude vampire Eric on True Blood. It's no secret that True Blood was just a thinly veiled excuse for Anna Paquin's Sookie to bone down one pornographically hot supernatural being after another. Eric does indeed show off his hot butt while going to pound town with Sookie. But that's not our favorite part of True Blood - not by a long shot. In one of the hottest small screen gay scenes, Skarsgard has a super passionate and believable gay make out with Ryan Kwanten. When comparing kissing Kwanten to Skarsgard's other kissing partners Margot Robbie and Nicole Kidman, he once said in an interview "Out of the three, I’ve got to say Ryan Kwanten is surprisingly a good kisser actually." Just wait until he touches tips on a volcano!

But that's just the tip of the nudeberg. Skarsgard's shredded af body takes center stage in many many many True Blood shots, and in one scene, we even get to see his penis and balls as he combusts into flames while relaxing in the snow. It's lit.

Alexander Skarsgard's Surprisingly Number Of Bulge-Forward Underwear Scenes

Blessedly, Alexander Skarsgard has taken on a number of roles that require him to wear tighty-whities. I don't know what this is about, but I'm not about to question it. In The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Alexander gets out of bed wearing only his open robe, tube socks, and his bulge-baring underwear. Oh, and a mustache. Musn't forget the mustache.

His best underwear scene can be found in War On Everyone. The bronzed and statuesque Skarsgard looks like a million damn dollars in his painted-on yellow briefs. Damn. Just, damn.

As if his underwear-forward roles weren't enough, Skarsgard actually appeared at the MTV Movie Awards sans pants... avec tighty-whities. This was back when Skarsgard was promoting his Tarzan movie, and his muscles (i.e. thighs) were looking even more mouthwatering than usual. Now that's called giving the people what they want!

Don't Forget About His Hairy Peach

Skarsgard has a big hot ass, and we've not seen it across three consecutive decades. Not all 45-year-old get to be as hot as Skarsgard, but when they are, we must cherish them. For they are the chosen ones. All the way back in 2008 we got a great look at Skarsgard's butt in Generation Kill. This scene is the shit.

And in Big Little Lies you can clearly see the super sexy blonde fuzz covering his big ass...
