After attending the premiere of “The Diary of a Teenage Girl” in drag in 2015, actor Alexander Skarsgård was able to clarify why he had worn a blonde wig and long gown that seemed not to match up with the theme of the film or what fans might have expected of him. Us Weekly reports that Skarsgård explained to the magazine, “Some of my dear friends are drag queens and they were hosting the screening, so I just felt like, ‘If we’re gonna do this, let’s go big or go home!'”
In fact, Skarsgård had a late starlet on whom he wanted to model his look, and that was “Charlie’s Angels” bombshell Farrah Fawcett. Said Skarsgård to Us Weekly, “I knew what I wanted [for this look]. I had a vision. I wanted to go full-on Farrah Fawcett!”
