'True Blood' Alexander Skarsgard Naked: Actor Strips Down for Arctic Challenge Ahead of Final Season [VIDEO]
True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard has stripped naked yet again.
Skarsgard was photographed in Antarctica this week sitting on a toilet in the middle of a field of ice. The actor is seen with no shirt and his pants around his ankles while sitting on the toilet and reading a book. This photo was likely an homage to his scene as Eric in the True Blood season 6 finale in which he's sunbathing on an icy landscape before bursting into flames.
Skarsgard was in Antarctica to raise awareness for Prince Harry's "Walking with the Wounded" challenge, a U.K. group aimed at helping wounded servicemen and women find employment. Skarsgard led a group of said wounded officers through a 200-mile trek over the course of four weeks.
"#southpole -30C What are you reading Alex? The script for season 7 of #truebloodHBO? :) #alexanderskarsgard," wrote Inge Solheim, Skarsgard's team guide in the adventure along with the Instagram photo.
Skarsgard is set to return to True Blood when it debuts its seventh and final season in the summer. There was some speculation that Skarsgard's character Eric died in the season 6 finale after seemingly burning to death.
However, True Blood show runner Brian Buckner told TVLine after the finale that he would indeed survive through to season 7. In fact, Eric will be getting a new love interest in the final season.
True Blood season 7 premieres in summer 2014 on HBO, though the network has not yet scheduled a specific premiere date yet.
