""Did you do that in opposition to me, to provoke me?" His eldest of eight isn't fully denying it: "Looking back, I don't think it was an act of rebellion against you, but coming from a bohemian family, I was like, I want to find my own path, and the most extreme contrast would be to go into the military. So it wasn't a conscious 'Fuck you, Dad' thing.""
""The elephant in the room here, Dad, is that we're both nominated for a Gotham Award in the same category," Alexander says. "And people believe that it's all going to be chummy and dad and son support each other, which we are to a certain extent." Stellan disagrees, saying, "It's gloves off." The two promptly begin playful takedowns of each other, with Alexander asking, " Sentimental Value, a beautiful film - you play yourself, right? An absentee father?""
Stellan Skarsgård stars as a bemused bohemian father in Sentimental Value while son Alexander Skarsgård appears in a gay BDSM romance. Both receive Best Supporting Actor nominations at the Gotham Awards, triggering playful competitiveness and teasing between them. Alexander frames his military service as a search for personal direction rather than deliberate rebellion against his upbringing. The pair trade jokey takedowns about each other's roles and awards prospects. Both ultimately lose the Gotham to Wunmi Mosaku for Sinners, and the exchange frames sibling-like rivalry alongside affectionate family banter.
