People reports that the Nordic actor wore a huge blonde wig that matched with his long, bedazzled golden gown. He had a full face of makeup and an obvious spray tan.
Skarsgård didn’t give a reason as to why he looked the way he did. His character in the movie didn’t dress in drag and wasn’t even gay.
He played Monroe, an older man who is dating the main character’s mom, Kristen Wiig.
E! Online guesses that he was supporting his co-star Joshua Grannell who played a drag performer and transvestite in the film.
Another theory is that Skarsgård may be trying to get the famous role of Hedwig in the Broadway hit Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Or maybe he just likes how he looked in a dress. No one can be sure.
Diary of a Teenage Girl will be released in a limited amount of theaters this upcoming Friday.
