Thinking Girl: My love affair with...

Alexander Skarsgård

It's mid summer in Sweden in 1976, August 25th to be exact and suddenly the heavens open up and down falls....Alexander Johan Hjalmar Skarsgård. I and probably half of the entire population of females on the planet thank Stellan Skarsgård and his first wife every day. 

How many of you reading this haven't gazed for an entire hour at the screen following a now seemingly pointless storyline about vampires, werewolves or ghosts just to be able to stare at his face for one hour a week? I know I'm guilty. 

And how many of us haven't wanted to ever offer Alex an orange mocha frappucino? I know I'm guilty. 

My love affair with this prime example of the perfect man started on the very first series of True Blood. "Hey, that guy has a hot accent, shame about the hair" I thought to myself. Turns out he was Swedish and would later remove his long hair wig - I was in love. 

I'm still in love to this day. I'd probably see any movie (excluding Battleship, because I can't bare the thought of Rihanna as an actress) with Alex in it, no matter how awful it might be. And I will continue to die a little inside every time I hear him speak Swedish, or get naked in a crocodile infested swamp in Louisiana. 

And I will most definitely continue to annoy my boyfriend constantly by being obsessed and continuing my ongoing love affair with the beautiful Alexander Johan Hjalmar Skarsgård. 

Do you have any love affairs with certain actors or actresses? 

Which accents are you more attracted to?
