True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard unrecognisable in drag at The Diary of a Teenage Girl premiere

True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard unrecognisable in drag at The Diary of a Teenage Girl premiere


Alexander Skarsgard, is that really you under there? 

The True Blood star was unrecognisable as he arrived in full drag to the premiere of his new movie The Diary of a Teenage Girl in San Francisco last night (August 4).

The actor was giving it Farrah Fawcett glamour in a blonde feathered wig, which he teamed with a floor-length gold gown. 

It's believed Skarsgard - who is reportedly dating Alexa Chung - was paying tribute to co-star and drag performer Joshua Grannell, who plays a transvestite in Marielle Heller's controversial movie.

The film adapts Phoebe Gloeckner's graphic novel The Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures, and centres around a young artist (Bel Powley) living in San Francisco in the '70s, who is having an affair with her mother's boyfriend.

Skarsgard plays Monroe, the 35-year-old boyfriend having the affair unbeknown to his girlfriend (played by Kristen Wiig). British actress Powley makes her US film debut in the comedy drama, which also stars Austin Lyon and Christopher Meloni. 

Powley and writer/director Heller posed next to Skarsgard at the screening.
