When Alexander Skarsgård, 49, is promoting the kinky gay BDSM drama Pillion, out February 6, his fashion choices tend to make waves.

His Pillion press tour attire has featured a halter top, leather pants, thigh-high boots and a button-down shirt depicting sex toys.

He explains: “I never buy clothes. If you saw my closet, my wardrobe is limited. I’m not big consumer of fashion. I don’t spend money on expensive brands. I really enjoy the creativity of it, but it’s not like I’m out shopping for these outfits.”

“I guess it’s something I’ve leaned into a bit more of late,” Skarsgård says, bringing the subject to a close.

In The Moment, he plays a creative director who convinces Charli xcx (playing a fictionalized version of herself) to toss aside everything that had made her successful.

In Wicker, he’s a creature conjured from grasses and reeds to provide Olivia Colman’s little-loved character companionship and solace.
