Bill Skarsgård was born on the 9th August of 1990 in the biggest city of Sweden – Stockholm. The future actor grew up and was brought in the creative atmosphere, as his father Stellan John Skarsgård is a famous stage and movie actor, the prize-winner of Berlin Film Festival. This talented man is familiar to TV spectators due to the roles in the movies The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), Thor (2011) and The Avengers (2012).

Movies

When the boy turned nine, he had his debut in front of the director's cameras. It was the Swedish thriller under the title White Water Fury (2000), not known to the Russian spectators. In this movie, Bill Skarsgård played together with his brother Alexander. But this movie hasn't brought Bill popularity as for the young actor, first, the role was episodic, and second, the picture was shot by not a famous director.

By gossip, when Bill began to attend the school, some time later he got more distant from the acting skills, and he even wanted to become a scientist. But the destiny of the young man has made some changes: after the guy had taken part in the episodic role of the adventure fighter Bill Skarsgård in the movie Arn – The Kingdom at Road's End (2008) together with Stellan and Gustaf, he became conscious of the fact that it was his calling to be in the immense movie world.

The same year 2008 Bill took part in the Swedish series Livet i Fagervik and some time later appeared in the movie Kenny Begins of 2009, directed by Mats Lindberg and Carl Åstrand.

Two years later Bill Skarsgård took part in the comedy: that time he participated in the movie Simple Simon (2010) which plot is focused on the eighteen-year-old Simon who suffers from Asperger's syndrome.

However, the girl's father is strongly against such misalignment and wants that Victoria gets married to the rich cadet Otto (Bill Skarsgård).

The same year 2013 the handsome young man ( the actor is 192 cm tall and weighs 85 kilos) changes the image of the romantic actor and starts acting in the chilling series Hemlock Grove of Netflix production. The plot of the horror series tells about the invented town in the State of Pennsylvania. But rather quiet living of the inhabitants in such den of iniquity falls apart in an instance after the mysterious murder of the pupil from the local school.

Also, Penelope Mitchell, Freya Tingley, and Dougray Scott were included in the cast of this movie.

There are still no rumors about the love affairs of Bill Skarsgård. The guy doesn’t share the photos with his beloved girl on his Instagram page and doesn't write about this in his blogs on Twitter. That's why his female fans can only guess if the tall, blue-eyed brown-haired man has a girlfriend or not. Though, in 2011 the journalists captured the young man with some Clara Girell. Also, according to the gossips, the actor had a love affair with Alexis Knapp.
