Alexander Skarsgard responds to rumor Taylor Swift wrote a hit song about HIM
Alexander Skarsgård and Taylor Swift were pictured canoodling back in October 2013, but he's never addressed the rumor that his ex-flame went on to pen a hit song about him. The 35-year-old billionaire pop star's 2015 track Wildest Dreams - which peaked at No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 - was about a woman pleading with a 'tall and handsome as hell' lover to remember her after their affair is over. 'I can see the end as it begins,' Taylor sang in the lyrics. 'My one condition is / Say you'll remember me / Standing in a nice dress / Staring at the sunset, babe / Red lips and rosy cheeks / Say you'll see me again / Even if it's just in your wildest dreams.' Scott Eastwood played the part of the raven-haired movie starlet's onscreen leading man in Joseph Kahn's 1950s African-set music video for Wildest Dreams, which has amassed an eye-popping 975M views on YouTube. Armchair Expert 's Dax Shepard asked Alexander on Monday: 'Do you have the same fear to either acknowledge or deny that [the song is about you], because the power of the Swifties is so strong that you don't even want to talk about it?' 'Yeah,' the 48-year-old Emmy winner - who thinks 'we're all Swifties' - confirmed before joking: 'It's about Brad Pitt, guys. Let's be honest.' When confronted about the lyric 'He's so bad, but he does it so well,' Skarsgård laughed: 'A lot of people can be bad, but cannot do it well.' 'I'm going to be honest. I wrote the lyrics of that song myself, and sent it to Taylor,' the 6ft4in Swede wisecracked yet again. '"Taylor, here's what you should say."' The 50-year-old podcaster confessed to Alexander that he's been telling his 'skeptical' 12-year-old daughter Lincoln that Wildest Dreams was about him, and the pair sang along to it when Swift performed at her Eras Tour stop in Lisbon last year. 'I think the fact that TS played it at the show we attended says it all. I present this video and rest my case,' Dax wrote on Instagram at the time. On the personal front, the 14-time Grammy winner is celebrating her second anniversary of dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce this month. Taylor is rumored to have written many hit songs about several of her exes including John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner, and Joe Jonas. Meanwhile, Skarsgård and his The Kingdom co-star Tuva Novotny are celebrating their son's third birthday this month. The nepo baby of Stellan Skarsgård is also 'stepfather' to the Swedish 45-year-old's two teenage daughters from her decade-long relationship with Norwegian adventurer Nicolai Bjerrum Lersbryggen.

I present this video and rest my case,' Dax wrote on Instagram at the time On July 10, Apple TV+ renewed Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz's sci-fi action comedy Murderbot for a second season, so Alexander will be back as the private security construct. Skarsgård executive produced and starred in Harry Lighton's upcoming romantic drama Pillion, which earned a seven-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18. The two-time SAG Award winner will also play a 'fashionable European creative' in Aidan Zamiri's upcoming pop star mockumentary The Moment for A24 alongside Charli XCX, Rosanna Arquette, and Kate Berlant. After a brief brush with child stardom at age 13, Alexander returned to acting by memorably playing Meekus, a model killed in a 'freak gasoline-fight accident' at the beginning of Ben Stiller's 2001 hit comedy Zoolander. But it was Skarsgård's role as 1K-year-old vampire, Sheriff Eric Northman, over seven seasons of HBO's True Blood (2008-2014), which truly launched him in the States.

23 Nepo Babies Who Shouldn't Be Famous
Recently, we wrote about nepo babies who never truly "made it" — and now we're back with ones who did but *mayyyyybe* shouldn't have. Here are nepo babies people think NEVER would've been successful if they didn't have famous family members. John David Washington (Denzel Washington's son) Kaia Gerber (model Cindy Crawford's daughter) Lily-Rose Depp (Johnny Depp's daughter) Dakota Johnson (Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson's daughter) Kate Hudson (actor Goldie Hawn and musician/actor Bill Hudson's daughter — also actor Kurt Russell's stepdaughter) Zoë Kravitz (musician Lenny Kravitz and actor Lisa Bonet's daughter) O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Ice Cube's son) Colin Hanks (actor Tom Hanks' brother) Tori Spelling (producer Aaron Spelling's daughter) Cara Delevingne (The Evening Standard and The Daily Express director Sir Jocelyn Stevens' granddaughter, among her other connections) Margaret Qualley (actor Andie MacDowell's daughter) Hero Fiennes (actor Ralph Fiennes' son) Gwyneth Paltrow (actor Blythe Danner and director Bruce Paltrow's daughter) Bryce Dallas Howard (director Ron Howard's daughter) Scott Eastwood (Clint Eastwood's son) "Pacific Rim: Uprising was already a terrible sequel, but the actor playing Nate Lambert stood out in the worst way possible. I'd never seen such wooden acting in such a large budget movie, so I figured he might be the director's kid or something. Nope. Scott Eastwood, son of Clint Eastwood."—[deleted] Maude Apatow (director Judd Apatow and actor Leslie Mann's daughter) Maya Hawke (actors Ethan Hawk and Uma Therman's daughter) Emma Roberts (Eric Roberts' daughter and Julia Roberts' niece) Billie Lourd Suggested by u/LivingandDyinginLA"She was lovely to watch in Scream Queens and Booksmart…then I realized that that's kind of how she acts in everything.

Tin Soldier review – Jamie Foxx leads with his hairdo in thriller about a soldier infiltrating a cult
Make no mistake: this action thriller is a mangled, dreary, unlovely mess and so much less than the sum of its parts – despite relatively blameless supporting turns from Robert De Niro and John Leguizamo. There's a more culpably hammy performance from Jamie Foxx, who rocks a ginormous, weirdly contoured afro so bizarre that it's almost worth the price alone. (He is also one of many executive producers on the project.) But Foxx's tonsorial effort is not enough to counteract the fact that this is a pretty lousy film, only worth it if you like 'sneerwatching'. None of the big names mentioned above play the lead here. Instead, the hero is one Nash Cavanaugh (a name that sounds generated by an AI bot), as incarnated by a typically lumpen Scott Eastwood. Cavanaugh is a former soldier who was once drawn into the cult created by Foxx's Leon Prudhomme, also known by his much cooler cult leader moniker, the Bokushi ('pastor' in Japanese). It turns out Prudhomme was originally bankrolled by De Niro's Ashburn, a shady government agent who had hoped to create a mercenary army. But the Bokushi has instead created his own private Jonestown, full of other ex-soldiers sold on his self-help preaching about how PTSD need not define them, or something like that. What makes him so charismatic is never well defined, but presumably the veterans must be smitten with his R&B-inflected gospel crooning with a special backup band – a vanity moment that's pure cringe. Viewers will have to pay close attention to parse out all the different timelines that the diced editing keeps flipping back and forth between. In the film's present, Cavanaugh is approached by Ashburn to infiltrate the Bokushi's compound with other secret agents before the FBI messes everything up with their own raid. Cavanaugh is hoping he'll find his wife Evoli (Nora Arnezeder), who is either still part of the cult and will therefore need deprogramming, or is being held against her will. The murkily lensed climax involves, judging by the sound effects, a lot of rushing water and explosions, because only primal forces of such power could vanquish the Bokushi's mighty hairdo. Tin Soldier is on Prime Video from 23 July.

Trailer For Jamie Foxx and Robert De Niro's Action Thriller TIN SOLDIER — GeekTyrant
Here's a trailer for a upcoming action thriller titled Tin Soldier , which stars Jamie Foxx, Robert De Niro, Scott Eastwood, and John Leguizamo. With a great cast like that, you might expect a good movie, but this looks super generic! I'm not sure how they pulled that casting off! The synopsis for the film reads: 'Jamie Foxx will put you under his spell in this cult compound extraction thriller. The Bokushi preaches to hundreds of war veterans, drawn to the promise of protection and purpose under him. 'Surrounded by his devout military-trained followers, he has built an impenetrable fortress & amassed an arsenal. After several failed infiltration attempts, the government – in the form of operative Emmanuel Ashburn – recruits Nash Cavanaugh, an ex-special forces asset, who was once a disciple of The Bokushi. 'Nash agrees to use his vulnerable past & insider knowledge of the enigmatic leader to finally get revenge on the man who took everything from him, including the love of his life.' Tin Soldier is directed by Brad Furman (The Take, The Lincoln Lawyer, Runner Runner) and it's set to be released direct-to-streaming in the UK on July 23rd, 2025.
