In a Met Gala interview with Vanity Fair Alexander Skarsgård discussed his style both in real life and on 'Succession' as tech genius Lukas Matsson.
On wearing his own clothes as Matsson in the season 3 finale:
“When I came to base camp that morning, I was wearing just slides and a pair of kind of very casual pants and a gray T-shirt like a super-worn, like $50 T-shirt, if that-it might have been like a $20 T-shirt, but it definitely wasn’t like a fancy brand. The Roys are always so immaculately tailored, dresses, tuxedos, or suits, all the knitted sweaters-everything’s like incredibly expensive and it looks expensive and just radiates money. I thought it’d be a nice power move in a way if Matsson is the kind of diametrically opposed to that, super casual. The theme for his wardrobe was kind of casual peacocking, so the term will be cas-cock. Lukas Matsson is very cas-cock.”
On being barefoot on set:
“It wasn’t really planned. I often wear slides when I show up to set and when we rehearse and I was wearing slides and the private jet we were shooting in a very, very comfortable carpet. So I took my slides off and was walking around barefoot. And then I thought that that could be quite fun if Matsson-because it makes sense that he takes his shoes off on the plane, but that he doesn’t bother putting his shoes or anything on when he walks over to [Shiv’s] [Sarah Snook] plane."
On Matsson's style in upcoming episodes:
"I’ve been dreaming with Matsson as a contrast to the Roys, visually the contrast, and in that it’s very, it’s a combination of very casual, but also, you’ll see in some later episodes, it’s quite a lot of peacocking as well. When you first see him, it might look like it’s like laundry day and he wears sweatpants, but then when you look closer, it’s actually like he’s wearing some ugly Crocs, but they are designer, limited-edition from Japan, $20,000 Crocs, and his worn, old T-shirt is actually made of hair of infant babies, humans. The most weird, eclectic stuff.”
