Stellan Skarsgård’s 6 Kids: Meet the Family You’ll Recognize

Stellan Skarsgård, the 73-year-old Swedish actor, is a well-known face in Hollywood with roles in popular films like Good Will Hunting, Mamma Mia!, Dune, and the Thor franchise. But it’s not just him who is making waves in the entertainment industry – his children are also carving out their own paths and gaining recognition worldwide.

Stellan has eight children with his two wives, and six of them have followed in his footsteps to pursue acting. From Stephen King horror to Succession, the Skarsgård siblings have been making their mark on the big screen.

Recently, Stellan reprised his role as Luthen Rael in Andor Season 2, part of the acclaimed Star Wars series on Disney+. In an interview with HELLO!, he shared that he sees his character as deeply flawed but committed to the rebellion, willing to make any sacrifice necessary. The show delves into the years before Rogue One, placing Stellan’s character at the heart of the emerging Rebel Alliance.

The oldest of the Skarsgård siblings, Alexander, 47, shot to fame as the brooding vampire Eric Northman in True Blood. His nuanced performances in Big Little Lies and The Northman have garnered critical acclaim. Most recently, he portrayed tech billionaire Lukas Matsson in the final season of Succession.

Gustaf, 43, has also built a strong fan base with his eccentric role as shipbuilder Floki in Vikings. Known for his intense and unpredictable performances, Gustaf has appeared in Cursed, Westworld Season 2, and most recently in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.

Bill Skarsgård gained global recognition for his role as Pennywise the Clown in the 2017 film It. His disturbing and magnetic performances have made him a sought-after actor in Hollywood, with standout roles in Barbarian and John Wick 4. In Netflix’s Clark, he portrayed the infamous Swedish criminal Clark Olofsson, with his younger brother Kolbjörn playing the younger version of the character.

Valter Skarsgård, 28, has been steadily building his career in Swedish and international productions, starring in Black Lake and Lords of Chaos. He is set to play hockey legend Börje Salming in an upcoming biopic and is known for his candid and funny social media presence.

Sam Skarsgård, 41, is the only sibling who chose not to pursue acting. Instead, he is a qualified doctor and has worked in an ICU. Despite staying out of the limelight, his brothers often refer to him as “the real hero” in the family.

Eija Skarsgård, 32, is Stellan’s only daughter and a former model. While she maintains a low public profile, she shares a close bond with her siblings, especially Valter. She married Zeke Tastas in 2019.

The youngest of the Skarsgård siblings, Ossian and Kolbjörn, are already making early strides in the entertainment industry. Ossian, 14, starred in Burn All My Letters, while Kolbjörn, 11, played the younger version of Bill’s character in Clark. While it’s too early to predict their future in acting, they seem to be off to a promising start.

With Stellan’s return in Andor on Disney+ and Alexander’s acclaimed performances in Succession, the Skarsgårds continue to be a dynamic presence in the entertainment world. Bill is tackling intense roles, while Valter is making his mark in Swedish cinema. Whether on Hollywood screens, Netflix, or Disney+, the Skarsgård family is always making a mark. And with the younger siblings beginning their journey, it looks like the Skarsgård legacy will continue for years to come.
