Alexander Skarsgård has described his new True Blood co-star Christopher Meloni as "so hot".
The 35-year-old, who plays the Viking vampire Eric Northman on the HBO series, praised the former Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star.
"He's really, really good," Skarsgård told MTV News. "And a great guy."
He went on to say that Meloni could be shirtless in his new role on the supernatural series.
"Maybe, maybe not," Skarsgård said. "He's so hot."
Skarsgård recently suggested that Eric and Bill (Stephen Moyer) will develop a "bromance" on the fifth season of True Blood.
Meloni will play an ancient and powerful vampire with control over Eric and Bill.
