In the recent Sexiest Man Alive issue of People Magazine, Alex was chosen as their 'Sexiest Bad Boy' for the portrayal of Eric Northman on True Blood. He stated:
"Ever since I was a kid, my mom would scold me for being a bad boy. ‘Don’t fight with the other kids, don’t talk back to your elders, be nice to all the girls.’ So here I am actually getting an award for being a bad boy. Thank you, People magazine. I can’t wait to tell my mom.”
While Eric may be categorized as a 'bad boy', Alex himself (and many of the fans) have said that Eric is more misunderstood rather than the villain. Those who have read Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries, which the show is based on, have more of an idea of who Eric really is.
Season 3 of True Blood begins filming in early December where Alex will spend the majority of the first episode practically nude. Next summer cannot come soon enough!
