Stellan Skarsgård's Military Shock: 'I Felt F***ed!'

Stellan Skarsgård recently revealed his initial surprise and feeling of being 'f***ed' when his son, Alexander Skarsgård, enlisted in the Swedish armed forces at age 19. Alexander explained his decision was about finding his own path, contrasting with their bohemian upbringing, rather than an act of rebellion.

Despite his apprehension, Stellan stated he never interfered with his children's choices, preferring them to learn through their own experiences. He recalled how he managed to avoid mandatory military service himself by having a friend write a letter to the draft board claiming drug use.

Alexander later pursued acting after his military duty and drama studies, landing a role in 'Zoolander' early in his career. He humorously recounted his initial naivete about the acting profession, believing it was an easy path after his first audition.
