Before True Blood hunk Alexander Skarsgård was a vampire, he was vamping it up as a transvestite in a 2006 movie Kill Your Darlings.
Alexander played a suicidal tranny named Geert in the low-budget indie film, about a group of misfits traveling through the desert from L.A. to Las Vegas.
It took 90 minutes each day to get 6'4" Alexander into women's clothing, wig and makeup for the role. "He had a vision of how his character should look, and he was really thrilled when he saw the finished product!" Gina Hendrix, the film's costume designer, tells Star.
"It was a real hunt to find things that fit him," Gina added. "We finally found his main outfit, a dress and camisole, in a plus-size store for ladies. And let me tell you, the only women’s shoes out there that can fit a man’s size 13 foot look like they belong to a prostitute, and we needed an everyday shoe for his character. We finally found a pair in a discount place on Hollywood Boulevard.”
