Sentimental Value star Stellan Skarsgard recalls getting into drag aged 15
"I look completely different. From the fat guy in Dune to the wigs in Andor and [ Sentimental Value]. I come from theatre, so you're used to wigs and doing several different characters, especially when you start out,"
"There's a childish satisfaction of becoming an invented person."
"I just borrowed a girlfriend's clothes, and I put socks in the bra and put on makeup and went out,"
Stellan Skarsgård, 74, is nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in Sentimental Value. He reports never feeling pigeonholed, citing recent contrasting roles from a fat character in Dune to wigs in Andor and Sentimental Value. He comes from theatre and is accustomed to wigs and playing multiple characters, enjoying the satisfaction of becoming an invented person. He participated in a W Magazine photoshoot wearing makeup, a sleek gray bob, and lingerie after noting his son Alexander had tried drag with success. Skarsgård first experimented with drag at 15 by borrowing a girlfriend's clothes, stuffing socks into a bra, applying makeup, and going out.
