Fangtastic news everyone, Alexander Skarsgård will be the new face of Calvin Klein. Very little details are known, only that the Swedish überhunk is not going to strip down to his underwear since it'll be a perfume deal (Why Alexander? Why?). The photos were shot a couple of months ago. The campaign will be released these coming days, right on time for the premiere of True Blood's fifth season, where we can see Alexander as vampire Eric Northman.

This isn't Alexander's first fashion campaign. Two years ago the actor, 35, was the face of suitmaker Hickey Freeman. The photos for this campaign were shot by Annie Leibovitz. 


UPDATE: The campaign photo was released. Besides Alexander, we can also see supermodel Lara Stone in the shot.

The Swedish True Blood star, 34, and the actress, 28, started dating when shooting a remake of 1971's Straw Dogs in October 2009. April 2010, they were seen enjoying each other's company at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, all the while keeping mum about their relationship status.

In February 2010, Kate said about Alexander, "We are very good friends. He's a wonderful, wonderful man, I adore him." When pressed for more details, she replied, "That's a minefield, man! I'm not stepping into that. I've learned too well from being on that road."
