Alexander Skarsgård sure knows how to capture everyone's attention.

The True Blood hunk posed shirtless in a family photo and stole the spotlight with his jokester pose. While his siblings were seen sitting on a couch, Skarsgård popped in the back corner of the shot and flexed his famous muscles for the camera.

He stood behind the Skarsgård clan which included his brothers Sam, Gustaf, Valter, Bill and his sister Eija. The two younger boys in the photo are their father Stellan‘s sons from his second marriage.

The TV star doesn't have any problem showing off his incredibly toned bod.

Last month he explained to funnyman Conan O'Brien that he became accustomed to nudity while growing up in his less-than usual household.

"My dad and his side of the family are old hippies," he revealed. "I was 14 the first time I saw my dad wearing pants. He was always naked."

The Swedish star also admitted to the TV host that he father used to spend lots of time cooking in the buff.

But when O'Brien asked if that was at all dangerous, the True Blood actor quipped, "It's not that big, so it's fine."

"The stove is really low, so it's not a problem," he clarified.

Skarsgård told E! News last a few weeks ago that after he finishes filming the latest season of the hit HBO series, he's planning to hit the road.

"We wrap in a couple of weeks and I'm going to go to Iceland on a weeklong hike," he said. "No phone, no iPad, no nothing—I'm very excited about that."

These days the actor has to take extreme measures to get a little escape from the Hollywood hullabaloo. Fans recently swarmed the hunk at the red carpet premiere of True Blood's upcoming sixth season in Los Angeles.

"It's fun," he said of being a part of the show. "The fact that we have all these fans here [and] they've been here since early morning, it means a lot because I'm so passionate about the show and doing it with these people I love and getting to share it with the world…it's fantastic."

Hot and humble!
