Stellan Skarsgård believed his son Alexander was trying to be rebellious when he gave up acting to join the army.
THE Thor The actor recently sat down with his son on Variety’s Actors on Actors series, where the two discussed each other’s careers and best works.
Most of Stellan’s children, including This: Welcome to Derry the famous Bill, Gustaf, Sam, Eija and Valter followed in their father’s footsteps by choosing their careers.
Alexander also began his acting career at the age of 13, but left it to pursue a career in the Navy.
During the conversation, the 74-year-old asked his son: “You joined the army, did you do this against me, to provoke me?”
THE Big little lies The actor innocently tried to convince his father that this was not a rebellion against the family, but that he simply wanted to choose his own path.
“Looking back, I don’t think it was an act of rebellion against you. But coming from a bohemian family, I said to myself, ‘I want to find my own way.’ The most extreme contrast would be joining the military. So it wasn’t a conscious “fuck you, Dad” thing. »
Stellan further admitted during the conversation that he has always been proud of himself for not interfering in his children’s career decisions.
