Alexander Skarsgard Tells Stephen Colbert About His “Very Graphic, Kinky, Gay Biker Film”
Alexander Skarsgård has been making headlines, from candid chats about upcoming projects to memorable moments on the red carpet. It seems the towering Swede is set to grab our attention once again with a film that sounds like quite the ride. So, what has everyone been talking?
Chatting with Stephen Colbert recently, Alex wasn’t shy about his upcoming film, Pillion. He casually dropped that it’s a “very graphic, kinky, gay biker film.” Well, that certainly got our attention! But the revelations didn’t stop there. Alex also took us on a trip down memory lane to a Lord Of The Rings party back at Cannes. A younger Skarsgård, a few drinks in, spots someone he’s convinced is Viggo Mortensen. What happens next? He plants a kiss on him! Turns out, it wasn’t Aragorn, just a very convincing lookalike. With a laugh, Skarsgård quipped that it was his first kiss with a man.
The film in question, titled Pillion, is reportedly a motorcycle gang drama directed by Harry Lighton. With Skarsgård leading, it is set to explore the world of biker clubs, and if his chat with Colbert is anything to go by, it will be an intense and provocative experience.
He also revealed that his co-star, Harry Melling (Harry Potter), will be playing his character’s “boyfriend/sex slave/butler”. Now that sounds like a role! If Skarsgård’s overall description of the film is anything to go by, we are in for one intense and provocative ride exploring the gritty world of biker clubs
It is not just his film roles creating a stir. Skarsgård also recently gave attendees at Cannes a little something extra to talk about. After a screening, he was seen planting a friendly kiss on the cheek of Pedro Pascal, our collective internet daddy.

This combination of bold project choices and engaging public appearances ensures Alexander Skarsgård remains a fascinating figure to watch. We are definitely waiting to see more of Pillion and, of course, whatever Alex decides to delight us with next.
