The actor talks about his new film, the explicit sci-fi horror Infinity Pool, why he gave up acting for eight years – and why he likes playing darker, more twisted characters
Cinematic Universe.) Director and actor also have a certain placid temperament in common. “There’s a politeness to Canadians and Swedes,” says Skarsgård. “But it’s all just a fucking facade.

Paul Keating’s comments on China showed a ‘complete misunderstanding of geopolitics’Former prime mister Paul Keating's comments about China on Wednesday showed a “complete misunderstanding of geopolitics”, says former foreign minister Alexander Downer. “I thought his speech was, to say the least, quite eccentric really,” Mr Downer told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “He hates the British and he doesn’t like the Americans much more and he would like us to be much more neutral in relation to China.
