Step aside Thor, there's a new Norse god in town! A bearded Alexander Skarsgard strips down to his pants and wears a horned hat in the freezing South Pole

He may not have landed the role of Thor in the Marvel movies, but Alexander Skarsgard still proved himself to be a Norse god.

The Swedish actor stripped to his underwear, donned a blonde beard and a horned hat as he arrived at the South Pole after an arduous 200km charity trek.



But it's not the first time the 37-year-old True Blood star has flaunted his muscular body in the freezing temperatures.

Alexander shared a picture of his naked self on a toilet last month, as a way to mark his incredible achievement by taking part in the charity expedition across Antarctica in which Prince Harry also participated.

The toilet photo was posted on Instagram by Inge Solheim, Alexander's team guide on the Walking with the Wounded Challenge.



The True Blood star represented the US Team Noom Coach, Prince Harry for Team UK and The Wire's Dominic West served as Ambassador for Team Canada/Australia.

The arduous trek raised money for wounded soldiers and involved three teams representing the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada/Australia.



Initially a race, a few days into the trip it was decided the competition aspect would be canceled due to inclement weather and treacherous conditions.



All three teams made it safely to the South Pole on December 13.

This funny photo of Alex comes just after his ex-girlfriend Ellen Page came out as gay in an emotional speech at the Human Rights Campaign's Time To THRIVE conference for LGBTQ [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning] youth in Las Vegas on Friday, noting that she is 'sick of lying by omission.'

In her speech, Page said she hoped her news would help others struggling with their sexuality, saying: 'I'm here today because I am gay. And because maybe I can make a difference.

Alex and Ellen were dating for over a year, during the time they were both promoting their movie The East in 2012.
