Was Alex Skarsgard getting flirty with his friend’s girlfriend, Olivia Munn?

I think we all know by now that the Viking Dong cannot be tamed. If the Viking Dong chances upon a lovely lady, the Viking Dong shall have her. I don’t mean that in a “Alex Skarsgard forces himself on ladies” way – I meant it in a “No lady can resist Alex Skarsgard’s Viking charms” way. But would Alex ever hit on a friend’s girlfriend? That is the question! Life & Style claims that Alex was “getting flirty” with Olivia Munn during the endless Emmy parties this past weekend. The problem? Olivia Munn has a boyfriend, the last time I checked. She’s with Joel Kinnaman, a Swedish actor (The Killing) who is friendly with Alex. Hm!

Flirt alert! Life & Style can exclusively reveal that True Blood heartthrob Alexander Skarsgård, 36, was getting ready to sink his fangs into a new ladylove, actress Olivia Munn, 32, at the HBO Official Emmy After Party in LA on Sept. 23.

“He kept touching her arm and leaning in to whisper in her ear,” a fellow partygoer tells Life & Style. “They were very intimate and inseparable the whole night. He kept cracking jokes, and Olivia couldn’t stop laughing.”

And Alexander was definitely feeling the love that night! “I’m having so much fun tonight,” he told Life & Style. “HBO knows how to throw a party!”

[From Life & Style]

I like Joel a lot, I think he’s incredibly talented and he’s cute in a dirtbag kind of way. But if Alex was whispering in my ear and touching my “arm” (“biscuit”), I think I would forget all about Joel Kinnaman. Sorry, Kinnaman! TEAM VIKING THUNDER!! No, I actually hope L&S has it wrong. I don’t know if they were mistaking Joel for Alex, or if Alex was just spending time with a friend’s girlfriend, or what exactly happened. Alex is such a player, I think. I know his fan-girls don’t want to think of him that way, but I’m guessing that Alex gets around quite a bit.

    No way. I think Alex has too much class to go after the gf of one of his friends, especially the best friend of his brother.

  2. marie says:

    honestly I think they’re both too good for her, but that’s just because I find her extremely annoying. I would hope Alex wouldn’t do that to a friend..

  3. samira25 says:

    Why is it every time people of the opposite sex talk to each other they are accused of flirting/cheating? They are at a loud party. Most people are whispering in each other ear. If Alexander is friends with Olivia’s boyfriend I doubt he’s making a move. They probably just know each other.

    As a self-professed “Skars-looney,” I am fully prepared to see The Viking as a player. I kinda expect it. I’d be a little disapppointed if I learned otherwise…what?…because I like to imagine he’s working his way across the planet to impregnate the universe, but I doubt Skars was out of line with his buddy’s girl.

    • Sara says:

      His naturally flirty with everyone (at least when I met him) but the way the tabloids are trying to set him up with every woman he’s ever met is so incredibly dumb.

      • Alana Fajina says:

        SARA!!! “Casually met him” How ever did those stars cross, you are SO lucky and I would’ve jumped- DOVE onto that one!!! lmao

  5. Sara says:

    Nah all the Swedish actors are way too tight to ever do that. Joel is best friends with Alex’s brother Gustaf, and Alex used to date Joel’s half-sister back in Sweden. Bros before hos.

    • lafairy says:

      “Bros before hos”

      I alway have find this expression so *classy*.

      And now I have to admit I find it even way much *classier* when a woman uses it…

      • Alana Fajina says:

        This is why a saying like that exists. Not that it bothers me in the slightest, but it’s like we don’t need men to make us hate ourselves, we have enough *classy* dames to do it for them. :eye roll:

    • Lacie says:

      +1

      The Viking Dong will have what it wants.

      But I doubt what he wants is Olivia Munn, especially given the implications it would have for his other relationships. Also, it’s Olivia Munn.

      Bros before hos.

      Ignore the “classy” snark, it’s irrelevant and the phrase is quite apt.

      • lafairy says:

        “Ignore the “classy” snark, it’s irrelevant ”

        I tend to forget that for some girls and women IT IS indeed irrelevant…

      • Sweet Dee says:

        LOL.

        FWIW, I think unprovoked commenting on others’ low class is classless and reeks of insecurity.

      • lafairy says:

        LOL !
        Sure because treating any woman as a woman of the very infaming word of ‘hos’ smells self-confidence and empowerment…
        Let alone while talking about girlfriends of actors you don’t know on a gossip website… it actually oozes sexual and emotional well-being…I mean in the world of ‘hos’…

      • Amelia says:

        It’s a phrase. Calm down.
        And in the interest of equality, chicks before dicks.
        There we go 🙂

  6. nate says:

    I’m now convinced that Swedish men (or at least actors) have horrible taste in women. I mean Olivia Munn? Really?

  7. spugzbunny says:

    Oh my lord there’s anotehr one of him! That hot viking dong in the last picture. Ahhhahahrahhrahhara.

    I like to think of him as putting it about a bit! Gives me hope!

  8. francesca1 says:

    I have never understood the fuss. But then again, I’ve only ever seen him in “Melancholia” which was a movie I would pay millions to go back in time and not watch.

  9. littlemissnaughty says:

    Bless those Nordic genes and the men who display them on our screens.

    I really doubt he would ever hit on a friend’s gf but I have NO doubt whatsoever that he plays the field like a total pro, it’s written all over his face. Let him. That means more women get to enjoy the goods. In fact, we should all get a chance but since the man is such a workaholic, he won’t have time to make all of us happy. Sad.

    Gotta admit, I’m not too impressed with the way the Swedish men dress. If you’re tall and hot, don’t throw on a dish towel for the love of god!

    Whoops, life & style accidentally published pages from olivia munns dream diary

  11. riff says:

    “True Blood stud Alexander Skarsgård hung out with costar Lucy Griffiths and Newsroom hottie Olivia Munn early in the night, but did some solo laps around bash towards the end of the party.”
    – E news

    So he wasn’t there only with Munn but with Lucy, Bjorne and other Swede so this gossip isn’t true for sure.

  12. cr says:

    Olivia’s reps already put it out on JJ last night that this was false. I think the L&S just saw an Eonline article that they were talking and voila! instant hook-up!
    They ignored the rest of the article that had AS also talking other people as well, including his costar Lucy Griffiths (surprised L&S didn’t go with that as the hookup).

  13. Christine says:

    Suddenly I want to visit Sweden.

  14. Raven says:

    I wish he and Lucy would hookup, but yeah he’s a player. Has to make up for all that lost time.

    • Gloheart says:

      Do you think he was faithful to the Bos? or any of his girlfriends?

      • Izzy says:

        My cousin was on the crew for Big Sur, and he saw ASkars a couple of times on set visiting Bos. My cousin said Skars was always really sweet and attentive with Kate. So I doubt he cheated on her. Given the timing of their breakup and her hookup with Michael Polish, it’s more likely she cheated on Skars. Which in my mind makes her stupid, no matter how nice she was to my cousin and everyone on set (and she apparently is a class act when it comes to that – no diva antics from her whatsoever).

      • cr says:

        Izzy, AS visited her on the set of Big Sur? Interesting, as the last time they were ever noted in public was at Coachella, which was the weekend before she started filming. She left early and he seemed to be back to being HappySkars after that.
        And I think MP mentioned at Sundance he asked KB to marry him the first week of filming. If AS really did visit makes me wonder what she was really up to. And what MP was up to.

      • sheila says:

        cr – unless MP was BS-ing…

      • Izzy says:

        It was close to the time they split, and from the little my cousin intimated, I gather a lot of people on set thought there was something up between the Bos and Polish. But Alex was there twice (that my cousin knew of), it was closer to the beginning of production, which says something to me about the timing of everything. I’m guessing Alex still thought they could work through whatever rough patch they were going through (there were reports of that the month before Big Sur started filming).

    • cr says:

      Sheila, even if MP was joking about when he became her ‘life partner’, the relationship apparently moved along very quickly considering he was with her when she filmed her movie in Italy in July and they were photographed with the rings the day after the breakup announcement the end of that month. So the timing is interesting, was she cheating on AS with MP and was MP aware of that? My belief is that the relationship ended at Coachella and KB had already figured out that MP liked her and they hooked up rather quickly on set, since she was now single.
      Because if AS was on set it would have been obvious the relationship wasn’t quite over.

    To francesa…”which was a movie I would pay millions to go back in time and not watch.” No kidding, that and Vanilla Sky. When somebody says to me “have no regrets in life” I say “oh yeah, well did you see Vanilla Sky? Not only did I sit there and watch the whole thing I actually paid to do, so yeah I have regrets…” 🙂

    • francesca1 says:

      Haha. That one makes my regret list, too. It went on and on and on. At least Melancholia ended faster.

    • LAK says:

      RE: VANILLA SKY – I recommend you seek out the original film OPEN YOUR EYES that was remade into VANILLA SKY.

      Many other language/countries’ films are remade for american audiences with terrible results. Something definitely gets lost in translation. I think the only decent american remake of another language/country film is THE DEPARTED which stands up against it’s original version INFERNAL AFFAIRS

  16. Beth says:

    I didn’t used to like Olivia Munn, because she was so terrible on The Daily Show, but then I saw The Newsroom and I can’t get enough of her.

    I approve. She may have the Viking Dong.

    He needs a smart, sarcastic lady in his like, just like all men do.

    • Sara says:

      I think she’s terrible on The newsroom. She’s taken the only well-rounded female character and played her like a slab of wood.

  17. Jenna says:

    The story was already denied. Some people even think Olivia herself started it to get her name out there. If true, is she that much of a famewhore? o_O

  18. Jen34 says:

    As a huge fan, I really, really want to believe Alex is a slut. It gives me hope.

    However, I doubt he’d stoop to that level. She’s nasty. Viking dong could get anyone.

  19. pinchofsalt says:

    I can’t imagine that he’d go for his friend’s girlfriend. That would be so tacky, and that the Viking is not.

  20. annaloo. says:

    I LOVE Olivia Munn… will always support and love the beauty of a fellow hapa! =-)

  21. April says:

    I thought they would go with Lucy & him instead . Especially because of the chemistry they had on True Blood .

  22. lori says:

    I could see him with Dianna Argon. That might work.

  23. Alana Fajina says:

    Goshhhhhhh, I can’t get enough of This MANNNNN!! Please, in the interest of the public, keep the Viking Dong stories commmmming!! [see what I did there, bwahaha]

  24. Jessica says:

    I’m not Asian or anything, but…why does everyone hate Olivia?! The only people that seem to defend her are Asian girls! She’s no worse than Bosworth/the girl that plays Alice/etc. She doesn’t call the paps all the time, when she’s on a grocery store run, what-have-you. She is beautiful. She seems down to earth, smart, and arguably talented. Is the hate-on really necessary? Also, whatever with the hacked photos! I would hope we live in a progressive enough society where we don’t equate the morality of a person with their sexuality.

    • Izzy says:

      I’m not Asian, and I’ll defend her too. I don’t know what’s given rise to the famewhore rep she seems to have, but she was pretty good in Magic Mike, and I think she’s excellent in The Newsroom. The character is nerdy, somewhat shy, and socially inept, and it comes across in the performance.

  25. Ashling says:

    Alex seems flirty with everyone. I do not believe he was trying take his friend’s girlfriend.
