In a wide-ranging late-night conversation, Stellan Skarsgård reflects on Sentimental Value’s Oscar nomination, working alongside Matt Damon, and a surprisingly bold creative chapter: recording an album at just 16.
Skarsgård approaches the Academy Awards recognition with characteristic understatement. Rather than framing it as validation, he describes it as part of a longer arc — one built on collaboration, risk, and consistency. His comments on Damon highlight mutual trust and the kind of on-set rhythm that allows performances to breathe.
Then comes the unexpected turn: music. The teenage album anecdote reframes Skarsgård not just as a seasoned performer, but as someone who has always tested creative boundaries. It’s less about the quality of that early project and more about the impulse behind it — the instinct to create.
