Alexander Skarsgard talks Kate Bosworth romance

Alexander Skarsgard talks about his time with Kate Bosworth following their split.

Both Alexander and Kate are gearing up for the release of their film Straw Dogs.

"Kate is such a great actress, and she's so much more than a good-looking Hollywood starlet," he tells Blackbook magazine in their new issue. "We were just really good friends at the time. But we shared a really special experience on that film."

"I make it a rule not to talk about myself and Kate," Alex shared. "I so desperately try to keep my private life out of the tabloids because becoming a celebrity rather than an actor can really get in the way of a good performance."
