The `True Blood` actor is not prudish about stripping off, and thinks he enjoys freeing himself of clothes because of his Scandinavian upbringing. Alexander - who was born in Stockholm - said in an interview with Popeater.com: "I`m not a prude. I`m from Sweden, and it`s different there. I love to be naked. It`s kind of liberating." Being comfortable with nudity is a must for the 33-year-old heartthrob - who plays sexy Viking vampire Eric Northman in the HBO television series. He has already appeared naked on screens many times and been involved in numerous sexually charged scenes with a number of his female co-stars. But the actor - who is reportedly dating 27-year-old actress Kate Bosworth - insists he is not willing to bare all for no reason. He said: "If it makes sense, I`ll do nudity, and it`s made sense every single time I`m naked on the show." And Alexander is equally comfortable stripping off in front of men. He revealed: "I`ve got a very, very graphic scene coming up [in ‘True Blood’] that I shot with a man."
