Alexander Skarsgård, the talented Swedish actor, has found a peculiar passion for one specific aspect of his costume for the upcoming fantasy comedy Wicker. During a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Skarsgård opened up about his experience wearing a full-body basket-like suit for his role as the Wicker Husband, highlighting its innovative design.
Craftsmanship and Particularities of the Costume
“The suit, like I said, was exquisite,” he remarked, revealing that the standout feature of the ensemble were the fake nipples incorporated into the design. “The best part of the whole suit were the nipples,” he quipped, emphasizing the meticulous workmanship that went into creating them. “They were extraordinary.”
A Special Connection with Co-stars
Skarsgård playfully pointed out this quirky aspect of his costume to his co-star Olivia Colman, who portrays his on-screen wife, Fisherwoman. “You saw it,” he told Colman. “You felt them. You squeezed them.” This humorous exchange not only showcased the bond between the actors but also highlighted the fun elements of their roles.
A Gift for Graham Norton
Amidst the laughter, Skarsgård made a light-hearted revelation that connected this unusual prop to host Graham Norton. “Every day when I was wearing them,” he reminisced, “putting them on—you screw them on—I was thinking of you, Graham.” As the audience erupted in laughter, Skarsgård concluded his anecdote by announcing, “I have them here today, and I want to give them to you.” This whimsical moment underscored the playful spirit that the actor brought to his character and the promotional appearance.
