Alexander Skarsgård recently set the record straight on the pronunciation of his last name during an appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' Following a comment from his father Stellan Skarsgård about the frequent mispronunciation, Alexander confirmed that it is pronounced 'Skarsgourd,' highlighting the unique umlaut sound. The conversation also touched on how Alexander's father was not particularly fond of clothing while at home, creating a humorous and personal moment on the show. The episode recalled previous celebrity name discussions, adding to the show's lighthearted tone.
âHe said we're mispronouncing the name. It's 'Skarsgourd,' is that how you say it?â Stephen asked the 'Infinity Pool' star on Tuesday's episode of the late-night show.
âExactly.â Alexander replied. âThat little umlaut is an 'oua' [sound], it's not an 'a.' It's 'Skarsgourd.'â
This isnât the first time a star has come on Colbert's show to drop a bomb about their name.
Alexander also touched on how his father walked around the house naked while he was growing up. âWell, he wasn't a fan of clothes.â
