Alexander Skarsgard's fame fear



Alexander Skarsgard admits fame is "scary".

The 33-year-old actor had his first taste of success at 13 after he appeared in 'The Dog That Smiled' and admits the attention he received afterwards almost made him quit acting for good.

He said: "It made feel self-conscious, and I couldn't deal with it. I didn't like people recognizing me. Fame was scary. When people stared at me in the street, it got confusing. It made me really uncomfortable. Then when I was 20, I decided to give acting one last go."

Since getting back into acting, the Swedish heart throb has also starred in Lady Gaga's music video for 'Paparazzi' - where he played her boyfriend who attempted to kill her- and has revealed it's something he would like to do more of because it caused such a sensation.

He added: "You can work on a movie for three months and no one sees it, then you do something like that for six hours and that's what people talk about. That's my new career. I'm just going to quit acting and do music videos from now on!"
