Alexander Skarsgård Discusses BDSM Role and Viral Cannes Moment for Film Pillion
Alexander Skarsgård stars as Ray, a dominant motorcyclist in the queer BDSM romance film Pillion, which explores the relationship between Ray and Colin, a reserved parking enforcement officer. Skarsgård, who experienced severe food poisoning just before an interview, remains committed to discussing the film’s themes of kink, romance, and subculture authenticity. While promoting the film, Skarsgård hinted at a possible bisexual past but emphasized that his personal history with men and women was irrelevant to his portrayal of Ray. He expressed that Pillion offers a fresh and authentic depiction of a subculture often misrepresented, contrasting it with the darker portrayals seen in films like Cruising. Skarsgård also acknowledged having some experience with the leather gay community but stressed that the film’s representation is more nuanced and truthful than previous depictions. The film has gained attention and positive traction at international festivals.
