True Blood hunk Alex Skarsgard was interviewed by director Jonas Akerlund in the new issue of OUT Magazine, and the two discuss their love for Sweden, how Americans are obsessed with nudity and yup, the "boning season."

When asked about his hit HBO show, Skarsgard noted that it was "very tame" by Swedish standards, adding, "[it] always strikes me as weird because parents in the States freak out if their kids see a nipple or a butt cheek, but at the same time they're OK with their kids watching people bash each other's heads in with baseball bats. I notice in interviews in the U.S. all people want to talk about is nudity. You have a half-hour interview, and you spend 25 minutes talking about the nude scenes, and of course, if it makes sense as a scene, I'll do it."

So what do Swedes do in the cold winter months? "I think part of the reason why there are so many musicians coming out of Sweden is you're encouraged to play an instrument, or to sing and be creative, from a very early age, and it's free," he said. "It's a combination of a good school system and the long, dark winters. Because that means people sit in their garages and play music for five months because it's too cold and dark to be outside."

Akerlund added, "That's the boning season. And then it's spring, and that's also boning season. And summer's the best boning season." Skarsgard's response? "And that's also why we're so liberal and so cool with our sexuality," he said. "Because we f*** a lot." Good to know!

Alexander Skarsgard is undoubtedly super sexy on HBO's True Blood, but apparently losing his virginity wasn't quite that sexy.

When asked about his first sexual experience, Skarsgard, 35, told Men's Journal:

“That was 2008, I think. Best eight seconds of my life.”

Let's hope he was kidding! The Straw Dogs actor has been voted Sweden's Sexiest Man Alive for five straight years. Skarsgard adds:

“Every single day, I wake up and look in the mirror and think, ‘Five times, mother**ker. Five times.’”

We definitely agree with Sweden on this one!

True Blood hottie Alexander Skarsgard was on the set of What Maisie Knew Friday in New York City.

The film centers on Maisie, a 7-year-old girl caught in the middle of a custody battle between her aging rock star mom [Julianne Moore] and her art dealer dad [Steve Coogan]. Skarsgard plays Lincoln, Moore's second husband and step-father to Maisie.

That would make Moore a super-cougar in this film, and we can't wait to see this pairing. The just-turned-35 Skarsgard hooking up with the 50-year-old Moore promises to be hot!

We can't help but drool every time we see Alexander Skarsgard, and he was looking especially hot in a dark body-hugging tee and jeans while on his way to a meeting in NYC, on Sunday.

The True Blood hottie recently split from ex-girlfriend of two years, Kate Bosworth, but we haven't seen the actor step out with a new lady yet. Could he still be in mourning over Kate?

The hunky star stopped by Regis and Kelly last week to promote the new season of True Blood, and things got a little steamy when Skarsgard confessed on the show, "I’m from Sweden. We don’t wear clothes in Sweden. Lets get naked!".

Check out Skarsgard's sexy interview on Live (Regis offers to hold the actor's pants if he strips!) after the jump ...

After two years together (who knew it had been that long!) Kate Bosworth and Alexander Skarsgard have split.

The story was first reported by Us Weekly. Said a source: "It was very mutual."
 
We haven't seen Skarsgard, 28, and Bosworth, 34, out together since March. Skarsgard is reportedly enjoying the single life, especially all the rabid True Blood fans who can't get enough of him.

And, his career is blowing up -- news of the split broke Wednesday, the same day the first teaser trailer for Skarsgard's new film Battleship was released (coincidence?) ... check out the trailer after the jump!

Alexander Skarsgard is our favorite sexy vampire!

We caught up with the True Blood star as he exited Cafe M in West Hollywood on Sunday, and while he was going incognito in a skull cap and shades, there was no denying it was the 6'4 Swedish hunk!

Skarsgard is currently hard at work shooting True Blood, which is also premiering season 4 on June 24. We love the show for several reasons, but mostly because we get a peek at Skarsgard's perfectly toned bod! Sigh.

Check out a sneak peek at True Blood Season 4, after the jump ... .

Alex Skarsgard was snapped leaving the gym in Studio City on Wednesday afternoon, and the True Blood hunk showed off his sexy pecs in a form-fitting blue tee.

The hit HBO show returns to the tube on June 26, and we'll definitely be watching -- not just for Eric Northman's muscles, but also to see what happens with Sookie and vampire Biiiiill!

True Blood hottie Alex Skarsgard was snapped running errands in Beverly Hills over the weekend, and he seemed a bit shy when we caught him leaving Williams Sonoma with a large shopping bag. Aww, is Kate Bosworth's boyfriend embarrassed about picking up home goodies? Or is he just not a fan of the paparazzi? Either way, we're happy we got a peek at his handsome mug...
