Alexander Skarsgård Transforms Into a Basket For Wicker Movie

Alexander Skarsgård has got one wicker new look.

The Emmy winner proved he has the ability to bring sex appeal even as a literal basket in the first trailer for his new movie Wicker. Skarsgård stars as the Wicker Husband made for Olivia Colman’s Fisherwoman, who after years of teasing from her fellow townspeople requests a husband from the town’s Basketmaker (Peter Dinklage).

In the trailer, Skarsgård’s face is fully wicker-ed out, with his entire body also given the same treatment. And obviously, the transformation was one the True Blood actor was fully ready to undertake. 

“Most male actors dream of playing Hamlet at some point in their career. I never did,” Skarsgård told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published July 30. “My dream was always to have nipples made out of wicker. Thanks to our wonderful directors, Eleanor [Wilson] and Alex [Huston Fischer], and the brilliant artists at Weta in New Zealand, my dream has finally come true.”
