Alexander Skarsgård explains how he got so ripped for TheNorthman and his quest to become more 'bearlike' for his role.
Alexander Skarsgård recalls his exciting journey to get in shape for the revenge epic The Northman. The True Blood star signed onto Robert Eggers' brutal, violent Viking film several years ago as the Prince Amleth of Scandinavian legend, who seeks to avenge his murdered father and rescue his mother from the clutches of his uncle.
When you're an actor, you're spoiled. You have a lot of help. The studio will get you the best trainer and the best nutritionist and the best plan. They organize everything. So you don't really have to do much. They tell you what to do and when to do it. Of course, you've got to put in some work yourself. But for The Northman, I was very excited about finally making the movie after years of pre-production, and planning, and talking to Rob about the character and the story.
