At London Film Festival, sleeveless Alexander Skarsgård talks exploring power, love & freedom in “Pillion”

At the 2025 London Film Festival premiere of Pillion, Alexander Skarsgård talks about his bold new role in Harry Lightman’s provocative debut film — a story that dives deep into unconventional love, trust and self-discovery. In this interview with HeyUGuys, Skarsgård opens up about the emotional complexity between Colin and Ray, working with co-star and director Harry Lightman, exploring submission, dominance and mutual respect in a modern love story, and why Pillion isn’t your typical BDSM biker film. He also shares what it was like to collaborate with a first-time filmmaker and why he felt so confident in Lightman’s creative vision. Pillion pushes boundaries and invites audiences to rethink relationships, vulnerability and autonomy through a fearless, deeply human lens.
