At Zurich, Alexander Skarsgård’s Sex‑Toy Shirt and Candid Comments Propel ‘Pillion’ Promotion

Deliberate Magliano styling aligns with the film’s BDSM themes, prompting fresh attention to his on‑record remarks about past partners.

Overview

  • At a Zurich Film Festival photocall, Skarsgård wore a cream silk Magliano shirt printed with dildos and butt plugs, extending his fetish-referencing press looks.
  • The wardrobe choice follows earlier tour moments including thigh‑high leather boots and graphic fetish tees, created with stylist Harry Lambert.
  • In red‑carpet comments reported by Variety, he cited Cruising as a reference, noted some personal familiarity with the leather/BDSM world, and said his past with men and women was not central to playing the role.
  • Social‑media users seized on the remarks and the look, with many interpreting his words as effectively disclosing bisexuality, though he emphasized the story’s authenticity over personal labels.
  • Pillion, an A24 arthouse drama adapted from Adam Mars‑Jones’s Box Hill, portrays a dom/sub relationship between Skarsgård’s Ray and Harry Melling’s Colin, with reporting highlighting explicit BDSM elements.
