Actor
Alexander Skarsgard has revealed that he once lived in a
Leeds
basement with no heating and a drug dealer. The 39-year-old 'Legend of Tarzan' actor moved to
England
after a 15-month stint with the
Swedish National Service
at the age of 21, reported
Digital Spy
.
"(My friend and I) just looked at a map. We both liked
Leeds United FC
so we thought, let's go there. We went there and studied, but it was basically just hanging out and having fun.
"We lived in this basement with no heating, used sleeping bags, and shared a bathroom with a drug dealer who was obsessed with the queen of
Sweden
for some reason. It was kind of scary. Then I knew I had to decide what I wanted to do with my life," he said.
After six months slumming Skarsgard decided to go back to acting.
