Alexander Skarsgard: “Sookie’s Not Just A Game Anymore”

PopEater has a new interview with Alexander Skarsgard in which he talks about being naked a lot, Eric’s interest in Sookie, and that Lady Gaga video:

What can we expect from Eric in season three?
It’s all about vengeance. You find out pretty early on that something happened a thousand years ago, that Eric lost someone, and now he’s getting the opportunity to avenge that person’s death. So he’s going to try to do that, and it’s not easy. And I’ve got a very, very graphic scene coming up that I shot with a man.

What was that like?
I’m not a prude. I’m from Sweden, and it’s different there. If it makes sense, I’ll do nudity, and it’s made sense every single time I’m naked on the show. And I love to be naked. It’s kind of liberating.

Eric’s always got several partners — but he seems to want Sookie in a different way.
Eric is intrigued by Sookie. You know, he’s been around for a thousand years, and he’s over humanity in general, but there is something different about Sookie, and he wants to figure out what that is — what she
is. And while it’s fun to play around with Bill, to tease him, it’s not just a game anymore.
