Last fall, a seemingly innocent remark from Alexander Skarsgård sparked a frenzy that had everyone from Tumblr to TikTok to Twitter asking: Is Skarsgård bi? Is Alexander Skarsgård gay at all? The comment in question came during a press conference for his upcoming film Pillion, where he plays the dominant half of a gay BDSM relationship. While talking about how he drew from his own life to bring the role to life, he casually mentioned, “I’ve been with men, women…” Cue the gay panic.

Naturally, the internet exploded. Fans eagerly (and some not-so-eagerly) speculated that Skarsgård was giving us the ultimate plot twist. But hold up—before you start designing his bisexual pride flag, let’s all take a breath.
Skarsgård’s Truth Comes Out—Sort Of
Fast-forward to Skarsgård’s recent Variety cover interview, where the actor took a moment to shut down those very hot takes. When asked about the infamous comment, he laughed and clarified, “Oh… that it resonated with my past? It was definitely not an intended statement.” He explains that his point was actually about shifting the focus away from his personal life and onto the story he was telling.

Classic Skarsgård, always more interested in exploring subcultures than exploring his own love life. But let’s be honest: if he wanted to come out, that moment would’ve had much more flair—and possibly even a rainbow background.
Fashion That’s Making Us Question Everything
Now, let’s talk about the important stuff: fashion. You know, the stuff we really care about. Skarsgård has been turning heads on red carpets with gender-bending, BDSM-inspired looks that have left us all asking, “Can we get a bondage chic section at Saks?”
When asked about his on-screen style, Skarsgård gave a refreshingly real answer, admitting that he doesn’t buy clothes and isn’t exactly hitting up high-end boutiques. “I don’t spend money on expensive brands,” he says. “I really enjoy the creativity of it, but it’s not like I’m out shopping for these outfits.” Translation: he’s got a team of magical people pulling strings and we’re here for it.
Minimalism Meets Maximum Impact
Sure, Skarsgård’s wardrobe might be more minimalistic than some, but he still manages to give us a lot to talk about. From sheer shirts to leather pants, he’s practically the walking embodiment of “I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m not explaining myself.” And honestly? We’re loving it. His fashion sense may be low on consumerism, but it’s high on wow.

The Final Verdict
So no, Alexander Skarsgård didn’t come out as bisexual—though we’d be here for that plot twist anytime—but he’s still offering up plenty of sexy confusion for us to unpack. Whether he’s turning heads with his roles or his runway-ready looks, this is one actor who knows how to leave us wanting more.
That is odd. On The Graham Norton Show when Miriam Margolyes said to him ‘but you’re not gay’, he replied ‘not really’
