If you want to know more about the Swedish actor and doctor, feel free to keep reading as we discuss all the untold truths about Samuel Skarsgård.
Early life and family
Sam was born on June 5, 1982 as Samuel Kristoffer Ymer Skarsgård, in Stockholm, Sweden. His father is veteran actor Stellan, who has been acting for over five decades now. Many might struggle to recognize him from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies due to his costume details which effectively hid his face.
Stellan was Will Turner’s father, Bootstrap Bill Turner, in “Dead Man’s Chest” and “At World’s End”. Sam’s mother, My Skarsgård, is a doctor and the inspiration behind Sam’s motivation to become a doctor. He has four brothers, namely Alexander, Gustaf, Bill and Valter, as well as a sister, Eija. All of his siblings followed in their father’s footsteps and pursued careers in the film industry.
In 2007, Sam’s parents divorced and two years later Stellan married his second wife, Megan Everett, who gave birth to two more children. Sam’s half-siblings, Ossian and Kolbjorn.
Alexander is the eldest of Stellan’s eight children. He is an actor best known for his role as Eric in “True Bloods”. The second child, Gustaf, is best known for playing Floki on the TV show “Vikings.” Sam is the third born and is followed by his younger brother Bill, who starred in films such as ‘The Divergent Series: Allegiant’.
His younger brother, Valter, can be seen in two films from the “Arn” series, including “The Knight Templar” and “The Kingdom At Road’s End”. Her only sister, Eija, is a former model.
Sam said his family is very close-knit and their creativity has always been fueled by their father’s encouragement. He also remembers that since childhood, his parents had organized several dinner parties and that many guests often stayed at his house.
Schooling
While plenty of information about Sam’s early life has been shared by his famous siblings, his own details are vague and hard to come by. Nothing is known about his educational background, where he went to school or what institution he graduated from.
However, since he is currently working as a doctor, it must be assumed that he has completed his medical studies.
Career
Sam landed his first role alongside his father when he was still young. Like most of his siblings, he too came close to becoming a child star, but decided the big screen wasn’t his cup of tea.
The movie he was credited in was 1987’s “Jim and the Pirates,” in which his father had a starring role. Sam had also acted as a lookalike for his brother Gustaf in the 2002 fantasy film ‘The Invisible’.
He worked as production manager for the Swedish films “Att Doda Ett Barn” and “Skuggvarld”.
Sam currently works as a doctor in the intensive care unit of an undisclosed hospital in Stockholm. There is little information to confirm the exact hospital, or his exact duties as a doctor, and despite his Facebook profile, nothing is mentioned about his current activities.
Hobbies, favorite things and interesting facts
Since Sam isn’t the most famous of his siblings, finding information about his likes and dislikes is nearly impossible. Nothing is mentioned in the wikis about personal preferences or interests.
No information is leaked on his social media accounts either, all of which have been inactive for the past few years. Sam is a lesser known member of the Skarsgård family, but he has appeared with the rest of his family at gala events. Many times during these galas, Sam was accompanied by his wife.
Relationships
Sam is married to Pat Metheny, but it is not publicly known where and when the couple exchanged vows, or whether any children were born from the union. As best known from available information, the couple still appear to be married and there are no signs of a possible divorce.
