So That’s What Stellan Skarsgård Is Like As a Father

by

This awards season has a fun twist: both Stellan Skarsgård and his son, Alexander, are contenders for Best Supporting Actor. Stellan stars in the family drama Sentimental Value, while Alexander appears in the romance Pillion. In a recent interview, the two shared a glimpse into their playful family dynamic. Stellan jokingly portrays the easygoing, artistic father, and Alexander the son who used to rebel. Stellan teased Alexander about joining the military, wondering if it was a way to go against his father’s lifestyle. Alexander admitted that while it wasn’t meant as a direct challenge, he wanted to forge his own path, and the military seemed like the opposite of his upbringing. Stellan playfully responded that it felt like a rejection, which perfectly captures the humor and honesty of family relationships.

You know, it’s funny watching my dad and me navigate this whole acting thing. We were both up for the same Gotham Award, and everyone assumed we’d be all supportive and chummy, which, to be fair, we are… mostly. But Dad? He said it was ‘gloves off’! We ended up playfully tearing each other’s work apart. I joked about his role in Sentimental Value, suggesting he just played himself as a distant dad, and he quickly defended his film Pillion, saying it speaks for itself. In the end, neither of us won – Wunmi Mosaku took home the award for Sinners. Honestly, maybe we should have spent less time playfully attacking each other and more time being annoyed at the Gothams for changing their rules!
