Alexander Skarsgard: U.S. Open Spectator

Alexander Skarsgard takes in a tennis match during day two of the 2011 U.S. Open on Tuesday (August 30) at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York.

The 35-year-old actor, who earlier in the day shot scenes for What Maisie Knew, watched Rafael Nadal defeat Andrey Golubev in straight sets.

Alex’s Straw Dogs co-star, James Marsden, recently dished to BlackBook about their intense fight scenes.

“There were times when Alex really did beat the s– out of me. There was a moment when he launched me into a wall, smacked me right in the face, and pressed a gun into my forehead. He pressed it so hard you could see the ring of the barrel on my forehead afterward. But the second they cut the scene, he’d go right back to his compassionate, considerate self: ‘Are you okay, Jimmy? Everything fine?’” James shared.
