Alexander Skarsgard & Alexa Chung might be happening: hot or gross?

FFN_Kudrow_Lisa_STG_012315_51634460

I feel like it’s been FOREVER since I’ve discussed anything to do with Alexander Skarsgard, which is sort of true. He went dark for a large part of 2014 and I haven’t personally written about him in months, nor have we had many photos of him. But Bedhead did write about him (*shakes fist*) back in January, when he was hanging out at Sundance. Apparently, Alex was making out with Margot Robbie. Interesting. But now People Magazine (!!) says that Alex might be spreading his Viking goodness to another lady: Alexa Chung. Even though I’m not crazy about Alexa, when I read this story this morning, it made sense. Alexa does seem to be Alex’s “type.”

Is the world ready for a couple as hot as Charsgard? Fashionista Alexa Chung and True Blood actor Alexander Skarsgard have been spotted together twice this week. Chung, 31, and Skarsgard, [38], were first seen together at the Father John Misty show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City on Monday night, when an onlooker tells PEOPLE the two looked “cozy.”

“They were deep in conversation,” continues the onlooker. “He seemed really laid-back but she seemed super animated and into him.”

The next morning, Chung was photographed with Skarsgard at a New York coffee shop.

“Here is @alexa_chung getting avocado toast!! She was with #trueblood hottie #alexanderskarsgard,” comedian Haley Sacks Tweeted along with a photo of Chung on Tuesday morning.

Skarsgard was most recently seen out and about with his Tarzan costar Margot Robbie at the Sundance Film Festival in January. Reps for Chung and Skarsgard have not returned requests for comment.

[From People]

In case you’re screaming “WHO?” at Alexa Chung’s name, I’m right there with you. She’s more famous in the UK, mainly for dating rockers and being a fashionista/entertainment journalist (sort of). Her name cropped up repeatedly in Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s conscious uncoupling too, and it was widely believed that Alexa and Chris were in some kind of quiet relationship about a year ago.

As for these rumors, as I said, I’ll believe it. Alexander is The Viking Thunder. I tend to believe he spreads it around to lots of ladies. So yes, I’ll believe that Alexa and Alex had a thing, I just don’t believe that she’s his one and only.

(PS… It was also widely rumored that Chris Martin had a thing with Alex’s ex Kate Bosworth. Do Chris Martin and Alex Skarsgard have the same taste in ladies?!)

    He’s 28? Really because he looks more 30 or older.

  2. Lucy2 says:

    Eh, anytime he so much as stands next to a woman, there’s rumors they’re a couple. Not buying it, not yet anyway.

  3. Lindy79 says:

    Any interview I have seen with her (print or tv) she is the very definition of porridge.

    • SpookySpooks says:

      Really? I think she comes avross great in interviews. Very funny and sarcastic. I think she’s fabulous.

      • ell says:

        agreed. i think people are kind of put off by the “it girl” image she had for a while, but she’s actually quite witty, self-deprecating and down to earth.

      • smith says:

        Agreed. She’s really grown on me. Definitely marches to her own drummer and I applaud that.

        Visually I like them coupled up. But I also see her with Chris Martin.

        Although with Chris, they’re in a restaurant having ….tea. With Alex the bedside lamps are broken, the sheets are shredded and the cats are hiding in horror.

        Not that I’ve thought about it.

      • charlie says:

        I really like her, too. She seems to be witty and down to earth.

    • Lindy79 says:

      I can’t remember the exact interview but one I read, honestly I eye rolled myself into a seizure.
      One comment went something like “a guy told me I’m pretty, and I groaned, why couldn’t you say I’m smart?” There were a lot of chestnuts like that in it and honestly I couldn’t see an ounce of sarcasm, wit or anything like it.

      • Jessica Fletcher says:

        Lindy: YES. I did like her – particularly on Pop World with Alex Zane, but in the last five years, she has done no work that I can think of, but given tons of stupid interviews. There was one, where she described listening to a record, and reading Moby-Dick by candlelight, and I just thought, you sound sincerely PAINFUL to spend time with. Bloody hipster.

      • Isadora says:

        While I can’t say anything about how she comes across (I’ve never read or seen an interview with her), I just don’t understand why people always shame other people if they don’t work enough. She was very much hyped a few years back and I guess she made good money from it. So if she wants to live off that money now and have a good time, why not? It’s not like she’s on the dole and wasting your tax money.

    • fritanga says:

      Well, if her “let them eat cake”-ish complaint about too much vintage champagne backstage at fashion shows is any indication (she was “so tired of it” and just wished for some whiskey, and when she was called on it, jokingly complained about how her diamond shoes were killing her feet), she’s a smug entitled bitch. But that seems to be Skarsgard’s type, whatever.

      I’m pretty much over him, anyway – True Blood was disaster of epic proportions, and all his films have been disappointing. Flash in the pan.

  4. AG-UK says:

    He sure likes those skinny girls..

    • Chrissy says:

      Alexa and KB are well acquainted. Am waiting for the inevitable KB post. From past experience, I can see her trying to exploit this relationship, whatever it is. We’ll see.

    • Crumpet says:

      Indeed.

    • Anne tommy says:

      You can’t tell from that smocky top / dress but she looks unhealthily underweight in any pic I’ve see. Not sure why she’s semi famous.

    • lostinspace33 says:

      He does like ’em skinny, but I think honestly it’s because he’s so skinny himself. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a god in the looks department, but then I’ve never seen him in person. I’ve read several accounts by fans who’ve met or seen him in person, though, and remarked that they were floored by how thin he actually is. One woman stated that she could probably break him in half with just a strong hug…lol! On camera and film he looks amazing because of those notorious added pounds, but I think in person his thin frame could be less attractive. And if you’re a super thin guy, you certainly don’t want to be dating a woman who could snap you like a twig! 😉

      • Freyja says:

        Lol, that was when he lost weight for a film “Hidden” a few years ago. He was at Sundance and a woman made a remark on his thin frame and he had lost a lot of weight then and mostly ate vegetables. He has gained a lot of weight since then and bulked up for the Tarzanrole.

    • Isadora says:

      I wonder if he were into voluptous women, if someone would have written “He sure likes those chubby girls…”

  5. paola says:

    I’ll quote Joan Rivers on Alexa Chung on this one.
    ‘I have no idea how you get laid in those outfits’

    Legend.

    • Veritas says:

      +1 i know right I think her style stinks. She always looks so frumpy too me.

    • BangersandMash says:

      Yip!!!

      Skinny Pixie… Take notes ladies, this is SO 2015!!

      This is what Vikings and pop rock stars want!!
      Be an avant garde pixie, and you might have your chance in the spotlight.

      (I’m not bashing Kate Bos or Alexa Chung, per se. I’m bashing the ‘pixie girl’ theme going on in the world today)

  6. mimif says:

    Anyone have an ID for Chung’s awesome denim sister wife frock? I need to buy it for Kiddo’s birthday immediately.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      Looks like she got it from the costume department from HBO’s Big Love. She may have borrowed it from Chloe Sevigny. Kiddo would do it justice.

    • mia girl says:

      Actually, I think it’s from last fall’s Homer Simpson Muumuu line. They were trying a brand extension for skinny girls.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      It will be difficult to get Kiddo to change from her beige booty shorts. She’s bragging about them over on the dog thread.

      • mimif says:

        It’s like she’s obsessed. Maybe we can entrap her with a Beige Booty MuuMuu™?

      • Kitten says:

        Don’t you dare bring my beloved muumuus into this mess.

        Muumuus are perfect tent-like garments that are meant to be stained with barbecue sauce and covered in cat hair. They are NOT to be combined with the skin-bearing properties of Kiddo’s bootylicious beige shorts.

      • mimif says:

        SHE LIVES! ❄️❄️❄️

        I was just thinking I’m glad Lilacflowers is still posting because it gives me hope that Kitten is still alive and trying to melt the THUNDER SNOW with her BBK fumes.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        Thunder snow does not melt

    • lostinspace33 says:

      I had a maternity top/dress 9 years ago that looked suspiciously like that blue top/dress she’s wearing here.

  7. manatee says:

    I bet he’s enjoying more than one girl and Alexa is over 30 but very beautiful. I like her eyes

  8. Chesty LaRue says:

    How dare my imaginary husband cheat on me! Apart from looks, style and charisma, what does she have that I don’t?

  9. Crocuta says:

    As good looking as he is, he does not posses the charisma and general sex appeal of his father. Stellan all the way! (And I’m younger than Alex.)
    No idea who she is.

  10. Kaley says:

    Pretty sure he’s still with the lovely Ellen Page. 😉

    Seriously, he is one of those poor dudes who can’t even have a conversation with an actress without it being a hook up.

    (Just in case, I’m not snarking…I really do think Ellen Page is lovely but she and AS are most likely not a couple).

  11. Observer says:

    *Whispers* ghhheeeeeyyy….

  12. Beth says:

    Maybe she has a thing for boys named Alex. I think she used to go with Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys. I don’t blame her. They’re both hot.

  13. merski says:

    Alex & Alexa v. 2.0

  14. Veritas says:

    He should have stuck with Robbie I think she’s more his type and way more hotter than Alexa. He seems like he likes blondes more.

    • Isadora says:

      Robbie has a producer boyfriend and the Sundance rumors were pretty much already debunked.

      I think both are beautiful and would make a lovely couple with Alex – lookswise, can’t say anything about their personality.

  15. Izzy says:

    Ew. He has horrible, if consistent, taste in women.

  16. Birdix says:

    She and Sophie Hunter look similar.

    • SpookySpooks says:

      Sophie is cute. Alexa is really beautiful. I don’t see the similarities.

      • Diana says:

        Alexa is stunning, I agree. Her face looks amazing in that picture where she’s wearing the Mormon jean smock thing.

    • Anny says:

      I find Sophie’s face a bit “softer” but maybe it’s because of Alexa’s dark eyebrows and bronzer/fake tan. I find Alexa very pretty but otherwise blah – what does she do again? From what I gathered she was an It girl, a model and reason to leave Mrs. Goop? (one would guess the possibility of having a Big Mac would be a reason enough…)

  17. jenn12 says:

    I don’t go for pretty boys or Vikings, but there is just something so deeply sexual and sexy about him.

    • Mrs. Darcy says:

      Me either but I lerve him. Sadly he would never go for my meaty ass, he likes his birds with nothing on them!

  18. Eleonor says:

    Is he into brunettes ??? I AM HERE VIKING GOD!!!!!

  19. ds says:

    Is Coachella starting soon? It’s like they found their perfect festival pair. Good for them.

  20. danielle says:

    If he and chris martin do have similar taste in women, I want to see Alex hook up with goop! That would be hysterical! Uh, maybe not to his fans tho…

    • littlemissnaughty says:

      That was my first thought. Screw Bosworth and this one, the only way I’m interested in his dating life is if he hooks up with GOOP. THAT would be epic. Although I’ve said it many times, I miss Skarsgard and Bosworth. Entertaining as all f*ck.

      • danielle says:

        They WERE a fun couple! But then, I miss Bennifer 1.0, so there might be something wrong with me. I just love a good spectacle!

  21. ell says:

    hot, i love both.

  22. Jenna says:

    I’m all for anyone getting the Swedish dong. It is so good. Unf. But I’m actually not feeling Skarsie in these pictures. Too much forehead for me. Oh well. *le sigh*

    • Marie-France says:

      Speaking of Swedish dong: how about Joel Kinnaman? Much hotter than Skarsgard.

      • Jessica says:

        He is hotter, but he has horrible taste in women. And kind of has an arrogant and sleazy vibe about him. But he’s a much better actor than Alex and has charisma in spades. It’s too bad he goes for phony attention hos like Olivia Munn.

  23. Bellaboo says:

    Noooo. She has Ian Watkins germs. He is a convicted pedophile who is into raping infants.

  24. Minx says:

    He is so beautiful. Sex and charisma on two legs, that one. I’m just happy to see him out and about.

    I don’t have much of an opinion on Charsgard just yet other than she’s gorgeous; he’s gorgeous. It’s all good. Don’t know too much about her except the fashion-y bits. Oh, and she’s brunette (but, but…his type! Must. Have. Type. Intro new type = skinny, fashion-y girl in 3, 2…). I’ll still file this under another case of “Standing next to a warm body….oh, look! It’s his new gf!” hype until more news comes down the pike though. I’d say they’re friends (with benefits?) who run in the same circles and have similar interests, so you go girl! Get that Viking if you can!

  25. Hannah says:

    That’s a whole lot of bone.

  26. A.Key says:

    Gross. His taste in women blows really.
    He sure likes them anorexic too.

    • LeAnn Stinks says:

      I agree with you A.Key, he definitely has questionable taste. If this is a potential match, blah.

      Whie I know she is currently dating Aaron Rodgers, and used to date Alex’s friend Joel Kinnaman, based on Alex’s dating “patterns,” I am surprised he never dated that annoying Olivia Munnster.

  27. Camille (The Original) says:

    I hope this is true, they would make one very gorgeous looking couple. He sure does have a type though doesn’t he lol.

  28. captain says:

    “Alexa does seem to be Alex’s “type.””

    To be honest, I think Alexa is everyone’s type. She is just that cool, attractive girl, with a great sense of humour, sarcastic, great company, party animal, but doesn’t age, etc. Guys love her, she just takes her pick. Girls too, I think, she’s got many friends.

  29. ella says:

    It is me or is something is wrong with that photo of Alexa in overalls? It looks like her face is stretched.
