A Guide to Stellan Skarsgård, Alexander Skarsgård’s Huge Family

Born Aug. 9, 1990, at first Bill wasn’t too keen on “being number four,” as he put it to Esquire in 2024 regarding his early trepidation about being an actor like his father and two older brothers.

But after breaking through in the U.S. in the series Hemlock Grove, then booking The Divergent Series: Allegiant, Atomic Blonde, It, Barbarian, John Wick: Chapter 4, Nosferatu, etc., fourth has started feeling like first.

Though he also sometimes fantasizes about a job that involves a briefcase—“Something more stable,” he said—acting fit him like a glove.

“There are those moments,” Bill explained, “when you’re totally lost in the moment. When during the whole take you never thought once about the fact that you’re doing it. You aren’t acting.”

As for his own domestic life, the It: Welcome to Derry star welcomed a daughter with actress Alida Morberg in 2018 and confirmed in 2023 that they had welcomed her younger sibling.
