Halter-top-wearing Alexander Skarsgård steals the show at premiere of kinky biker movie Pillion

Alexander Skarsgård always knows how to get people talking, and the star was at it again for the premiere of Pillion at the London Film Festival, where he bared his toned arms and walked out in leather trousers.

Pillion chronicles the kinky romance between a dominant leader of a leather biker gang (Skarsgård) and naïve young gay man Colin (Harry Potter’s Harry Melling).

Having recently treated fans to a dildo shirt, this time he strutted the red carpet in a white sleeveless number, fashioned to look like a halter-neck top. He paired it with leather trousers and a matching tie. 

“Alexander Skarsgård bi icon,” one fan posted on social media about the outfit. Another wrote: “Big fan of Alexander wearing leather during the Pillion promo.”

Gay bikers on the guest list

Speaking about his role, Skarsgård said his involvement in the film had been completely dependent on whether members of a gay biker club were included.

If they were not involved, he would have given it “a hard pass”, but “If they are in… I’m in.”

Skarsgård noted that members were at the screening and blew them a kiss before saying: “See you at the after-party.”

On the red carpet, he greeted his fellow movie stars with kisses on the cheek and lips.

Posing in front of a motorbike, Skarsgård hugged rottweiler Maggie who also has a part in the film. In fact, she almost stole the show as cameras flashed.

Online, one fan proclaimed Skarsgård “a man who can do both”, picturing the actor with Maggie and, separately wearing a collar, with Mia Goth holding his leash, during the press tour for their 2023 horror film Infinity Pool.


Skarsgård speaks exclusively to PinkNews

Skarsgård also stopped to chat to PinkNews, revealing his approach to sex scenes.
