Alexander Skarsgård: 'My private life is gone'

Alexander Skarsgård has revealed that he sometimes resents his Hollywood success.

The True Blood star confessed that he finds it disconcerting to be followed everywhere by the paparazzi, the Los Angeles Times reports.

"Being followed is weird," he said. "That people want to discuss where I ate lunch or what I wear when I go to lunch… the private life is just gone. That's a little tough."

Skarsgård continued: "It's quite different in Sweden. We don't have paparazzi following you in Sweden. You're allowed to have a private life in Sweden in a different way."

The actor recently admitted that he was nervous about joining the HBO series, stating that he did not want to be tied down to the same character.

Skarsgård previously revealed that he needs some distance from True Blood since he does not want to be typecast in a particular role.

True Blood returns June 26 at 9pm on HBO.
