Alexander Skarsgard: 'True Blood' Actor Shows Off Sexy Body in Cut Copy's 'Free Your Mind' Video, Thrown Back in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Casting News [PHOTOS, VIDEO]
"True Blood" hunky actor Alexander Skarsgard is featured in the music video for Cut Copy's latest single titled "Free Your Mind" showing off his sexy body in a very weird setting. The 37-year-old Swedish actor has been thrown back in "Fifty Shades of Grey" casting news for the currently open role of billionaire Christian Grey as well.
The music video begins with Alexander Skarsgard just walking before jumping to a different scene where the actor is seen running through a forest wearing only his tidy, white underwear. Afterwards, female fans can check out his abs while he goes through his daily routine that includes playing basketball without the use of a ball, bathroom breaks and a lot more weird stuff.
"'Free Your Mind' is the Australian band's first single off of Cut Copy's yet-to-be-released studio album, also titled Free Your Mind. The new album will hit stores on November 1 in Australia, November 4 in the U.K. and November 5 in the States," reads the Pop Blend report.
Furthermore, Alexander Skarsgard's name got connected again in the ongoing "Fifty Shades of Grey" casting news, just like other fan favorites Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer, after chosen actor Charlie Hunnam walked away from the role of Christian Grey.
According to the Playlist report, the "True Blood" actor is considered to be a potential replacement actor in "Fifty Shades of Grey" alongside "The Fall" star Jamie Dornen. The US Magazine report claims that "Pacific Rim" actor Charlie Hunnam was not really interested in the upcoming erotic movie adaptation.
"He told his agents from the beginning he didn't want to do it and was going to pull out," the unnamed source shared. The Hollywood Reporter claims that Kelly Marcel's "FSOG" script could have been the cause of trouble for the filming to push through so Oscar-nominated screenwriter Patrick Marber was hired to polish the script and character work.
Presently, the focus seems to be back on the fan casting polls for the actors that could replace Charlie Hunnam, including Alexander Skarsgard, in the upcoming Sam Taylor-Johnson film "Fifty Shades of Grey" scheduled for an official release date on Aug 1, 2014.
