I think it is safe to say that we all went into high alert when the news broke that the one and only Alexander Skarsgård signed on to be the face for Calvin Klein fragrance. Safe being a relative term when you are combining the hotness of Alex with the words “Calvin” and “Klein”.
We knew the campaign would be starting just in time for the premiere of the 5th season of True Blood. And boy, they are as smoldering as you expect from one Mr Skarsgård. *takes a long drink of wine*
Brace yourselves lovers 
The campaign is described as;
The Encounter Calvin Klein campaign tells the story of unresolved tension and desire between a man and a woman,” said Thomas Burkhardt, vice president of marketing for Coty Prestige, the fragrance licensee of Calvin Klein. “It’s meant to be open to interpretation. It also makes you a bit uncomfortable, which is a trademark of advertising this brand.”
Via SkarsgardNews.com we learned the following tidbit from Alex himself;
“Their idea for their concept was very intriguing to me — it was almost like a short film, and very film noir. It felt interesting to me,” he said of the TV campaign and print ad. “I wanted to be involved with something where you tell a story — even though it’s a short story.”
What do you think? Can you think?
And there should be a video in the near future!
That’s it, we’re toast… And we like it that way. I just hope the Internet can handle the hotness without crashing
If you are able to type after viewing, tell us what you think!
(Thanks to askarsswedishmeatballs for the find!)
Oh my God! Just doesn’t make sense for this man to be so damn sexy and handsome love this new ad of him.
Oh God, I’m seriously hyperventilating right now. Sweet, Lord, that man is all kinds of sexy.
*gulp* Fire bad. Tree pretty.
That’s it…I’m DEAD! Seriously, how can they expect us to do anything after seeing this? I think this will be their most successful campaign to date!
It should be illegal to be that HOT!
No words
Except that the video will probably kill me!
Dying to watch that sexy swagger of him in motion when the video comes out. I WILL DIE
I think wives/girlfriends are going to be buying a hella lot of this cologne for their men. Wonder if Alex is going to wear it; everyone comments on how good he smells….
Its so lame that I’ve looked so intensely at this ad, but I swooned at the closeup of AS holding that lucky gals chin – the angle of his profile shows his eyes are focused on her lips, and well, that is all
Thank you so much for posting!
Wow! Very nice!
Damn he hot !!! I love this . Thanks for posting it .Can’t wait to see him in the short film in motion . Handsome as ever .
EW cover, new season of TB on Sunday, and now this?! I think the man is trying to kill us! And, I’m loving every minute of it!
Wow oh Wow!!!! I can hardly wait to see the commercial its self……. Did someone turn the heat up in here???????? I. am. speechless.
The intensity of his eyes reach down and haunt your very soul. He is incredibly beautiful and talented.
What a perfect face! I’m waiting for an underwear advert, just dreaming!
O.O
My husband wears Calvin Klein cologne… I wonder if that means I’m going to start thinking of Alex every time I smell my husband… I wonder if he’d be willing to switch from Obsession to Encounter? Helps a little that he’s 6’3″ and blue eyed… Damn you Calvin Klein, you’re messing with my head!
Oh My! (couldn’t help myself)
If my eggs hadn’t retired they’d be exploding!!!!!!!! What a man!
LOL, mine are looking to retire fairly soon, but this pic has sparked a rebellion for sure!
