Playful Exterior, Restless Interior
- Matsson mixes playful prankster energy with a deeper sadness and restless attention.
- Alexander Skarsgård emphasizes Matsson's fast, wandering mind and subtle underlying melancholy.
Costume Choice Came From Actor's Own Clothes
- Skarsgård recounts wearing his own casual clothes on set to shape Matsson's underdressed aesthetic in a major scene.
