Our first guest is a talented Swedish actor.

He'd be a talented actor if he wasn't Swedish,

who stars in the latest adaptation of the graphic novel The Crow.

Take a look.

Ooh, ooh.

Wow.

The girl opens in theaters tomorrow.

Please welcome Bill Skarsgård.

Wow.

That looks fun.

You know, it looks like you were about to shave with that sword.

You know, there are electric razors.

I heard.

I've heard.

Yes, yes.

Now, we said Swedish actor.

I love Sweden.

Do you?

Yeah, I love the music that comes out of Sweden.

OK, are you more ace of bass or ABBA?

ABBA.

You're more ABBA.

Hell yeah!

Why do you think Swedes write such great pop music?

Why do you think that is?

Um, I don't know.

It's very dark and cold up north.

So you've got to sort of pop it up.

You have to pop it up a little bit, yeah.

No, I was there in the summertime, and it was lovely.

We rode bikes all over the place.

Yeah, it's amazing in the summer.

Do you sing?

In the shower.

Uh-huh.

What is your go-to shower song?

That's for me in the shower.

Okay, so now the crow is,

it looks dark and scary.

You play a lot of dark and scary roles.

Are you, is that who you are?

On the inside?

On the inside.

Yes, yes, very much so.

So I don't know.

I don't know.

I get this question a lot.

And I think it's partly me drawn to darkness or dark characters and dark characters drawn to me.

And then we kind of meet in the middle.

Well, I'm a dark character,

and I'm drawn to you.

Let's meet in the middle.

All right, so listen, we do have something in common.

We both put on a lot of makeup and get in front of cameras.

I mean, you are in full drag in this photo.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Tell me, what's it like for you to act with all that stuff on?

Um, it's quite freeing, you know?

I think that when you,

especially when you play a character like that or another movie that's coming out.

That's Pennywise from Eddie.

That's Pennywise and Eddie.

Yeah.

And before you take the makeup,

put the makeup on, you feel like a complete crazy person.

You telling me?

That's right.

But once you get it on,

you feel like you can,

you know, explore the ranges.

Hello.

That's right.

Taste the rainbow.

Yes.

How long does it take for you to get into the?

Well, that's for me in the shower to know.

Oh, my God.

I've seen you in movies before.

You can act real crazy up in them movies.

Mm-hmm.

Where does that come from?

I mean, how do you draw that out?

Do they ever say, oh, way too scary?

Um, no. No. It's usually the scarier and crazier it is,

the better it seems.

OK.

All right.

Yeah.

That's right.

Now, in the clip we just saw, you've got these tattoos.

Those aren't, are they real tattoos?

No. No. They've done so well with fake tattoos.

100

It's crazy.

101

Yeah.

102

How long did it take for you to put all those tattoos on?

103

An hour and a half.

104

That's not so bad.

105

No, no. And is it just like adhesive things,

106

like the kids, years ago we used to have the things that you put water on.

107

Is it like that?

108

It is like that.

109

Yeah.

110

Yeah.

111

But, you know, I guess like a little bit more permanent.

112

But yeah.

113

And I would have this game because like,

114

you know, I always try to encourage the makeup team to get me out of the chair as quick as possible.

115

So I would have one guy here,

116

one guy here putting them on.

117

And then I would have them compete over each other.

118

To see who could do it the fastest.

119

The fastest.

120

Yeah.

121

And that's, oh, the competition, man.

122

It works.

123

Now, you come from an acting dynasty.

124

We all know your father's work and your brother's work.

125

Is there a competition amongst you all for who gets more awards,

126

who gets more money?

127

Yes, of course.

128

Yeah, there is.

129

Do you see them often?

130

Yeah, all the time.

131

And do they live over here in America or are they still in Sweden?

132

Still, we're back in Sweden.

133

At the moment, I think we're all in Stockholm for the first time in quite some time,

134

which is great.

135

And so how often you have to come over here to audition?

136

No, to meet you.

137

To meet me, of course,

138

and to promote movies and stuff like that.

139

But you're brothers and father and father.

140

The competition, how does it manifest?

141

No, in all honesty, I don't think that there's a lot of competition, you know?

142

We try to be a very supportive family.

143

You said that very Swedish.

144

You had a Swedish accent when you said that.

145

We try to be very supportive.

146

Yeah, no. Yeah, no, but we do.

147

We do.

148

I don't think inner family competition is necessarily very healthy.

149

But when we get drunk enough,

150

that's when it all comes out.

151

Yeah, yeah.

152

Now, in a minute, we're going to bring out your co-star from The Crow, FKA Twigs.

153

You know, a movie like this is,

154

it hinges on the chemistry between the two actors.

155

And you all have chemistry.

156

Were you worried that maybe you wouldn't have chemistry?

157

Yeah, yeah.

158

I don't think the movie would have worked at all.

159

So yeah, I was incredibly nervous.

160

And I hadn't met Twigs before,

161

I knew her from afar.

162

I was a fan of hers.

163

And, yeah, so when we decided to...

164

For the first time when we met in Prague to just kind of talk to the script for the first time,

165

it was like, all right,

166

well, these two characters really need to love each other for the movie to work.

167

Yeah, yeah.

168

And, yeah, we got along right off the bat.

169

Well, thank goodness.

170

Now listen, when we come back,

171

Twigs is gonna come out,

172

uh, and we're gonna do more of this.

173

So we'll be right back.

174

Welcome back!

175

Joining us next, a singer-songwriter and actress who plays this man's lover in The Crow.

176

Please welcome FKA Twigs.

177

Hello!

178

Now, of course, we call you Twigs.

179

Yes.

180

We call you Twigs.

181

Now, I know you from you were a judge on Drag Race.

182

Yes.

183

And you were wonderful.

184

I think what happened, I met you at a party.

185

And the next day, I said,

186

hey, can you come on?

187

And the next day, you were there.

188

I did, yeah.

189

Was it what you expected it to be?

190

It was colder in the studio than I thought it would be.

191

Oh, well, see, I have to keep it very cold,

192

because I've got things that are taped,

193

pulled, snatched, cinched, painted, so nothing can move.

194

I understand.

195

You guys filmed this thing in Prague.

196

Was it cold when you guys did this?

197

We did it in the summer, so it was beautiful.

198

In the summer?

199

Yeah, it was beautiful and warm.

200

I've never been to Prague before.

201

It's stunning.

202

It's a really amazing Gothic city,

203

lots of beautiful architecture, an amazing underground of techno music and warehouses.

204

Oh, so you did, you,

205

you, after, after work, you went out and partied?

206

I did, yeah.

207

Really?

208

Yeah, I did, of course.

209

Bill, did you party also?

210

No. I did invite you,

211

but I never got you out.

212

No, no, yeah, I was just working out and eating a lot of steaks.

213

Steaks.

214

Yeah.

215

Well, how are you able to party?

216

You guys filmed during the day.

217

And how were you able to do it?

218

You're still very young, I guess.

219

That's what.

220

I'm young.

221

And I guess, like, I'm just obsessed with alternative culture and subculture.

222

So to be somewhere brand new that I've never been,

223

that kind of amazing East Block warehouse raves,

224

techno, kids, like, I just couldn't resist.

225

And somebody told me that that inspired your new album.

226

What's the name of the album you have coming out?

227

Eusexua.

228

Wait, what?

229

Eusexua.

230

Eusexua.

231

You know there's an ointment for that.

232

No, you know, you turn into your father eventually,

233

and that's where I am.

234

Yeah, yeah.

235

So the music is inspired by the techno rave scene of Prague.

236

It is, yeah.

237

That sounds fascinating.

238

It sounds like my days in New York.

239

You know, yeah.

240

So now, before you came out,

241

we were talking with Bill about the chemistry that you guys have.

242

I've seen you on screen together,

243

and it looks really, really good.

244

Is it natural, or can you manufacture that kind of chemistry?

245

Um.

246

I mean, I think we just got along really well, didn't we?

247

It was very natural.

248

I can't explain it.

249

But Bill's also so funny.

250

So I was saying before that I was actually raised by Swedes.

251

Randomly, my mom's friend's family helped raise me when I was young.

252

So I had many a Swedish Christmas.

253

So I think just culturally, I understood.

254

Yeah.

255

What was going on?

256

You're saying Bill is funny.

257

Bill's been very kind of coy with us.

258

It's from me in the shower.

259

It's from me in the shower.

260

Now, how many films have you made?

261

I'm currently filming my fourth.

262

So I've left my fourth one to come and do this amazing press tour,

263

and I'm going back in a couple of days.

264

Wow.

265

OK, so we know you as a singer-dancer,

266

and now you're you're venturing often to film what uh what

267

area do you enjoy the most i just love expressing myself you know anything

268

that any place in the arts where i feel like i can do me

269

and and sort of change the cultural dna or make people question things

270

or just find a guttural expression i'm there you know i

271

love it you know um i saw a fashion show where you performed at the fashion show

272

while the models are doing their thing and Cher was there.

273

Were you thinking the whole time,

274

oh my gosh, Cher is right there?

275

Yeah, it's actually really interesting because I'm not easily phased.

276

I was the singer at The Box.

277

I'm sure you know The Box in London and New York.

278

So even in my early 20s,

279

I'd go on stage and Queen Latifah would be there and George Clooney and all these huge stars.

280

And this is when I was like baby twigs.

281

So it takes a lot to phase me.

282

But I have to say,

283

when I saw Cher, I sang a bum note.

284

You, wait.

285

I did.

286

You sang a bum note.

287

I did.

288

I did.

289

I saw her, and the note came out, and it was wrong.

290

But you know, it's just interesting how life throws you these curveballs.

291

What was the most difficult part of doing this The Crow?

292

Did you guys slip each other the tongue?

293

Bill?

294

That's for the shower.

295

That's his code word now for everything.

296

I think it was difficult.

297

You didn't like being underwater.

298

I didn't like being underwater,

299

but I think for me personally,

300

I really didn't like being underwater.

301

But for me personally, I think it was,

302

it wasn't difficult, but it's a stamina thing.

303

You know, for me when I do a music video or a music project,

304

it's for a few days.

305

You know, I'll shoot a music video for three days.

306

Films are months.

307

And it's...

308

How long did this one take?

309

Bill, you did three months.

310

I think I did two.

311

Yeah, something like that.

312

Three and a half.

313

Yeah.

314

So I think I did just over two.

315

But it's every day, we're shooting nights.

316

So the hours are bananas.

317

You know, you're sometimes up at 4 AM going to set.

318

And it's just the stamina.

319

But there's something really amazing about being an asset to the collective,

320

in the sense that you have to be in a good mood.

321

You know, you have to be there.

322

You have to be present.

323

It's not really about you or how you're feeling.

324

It's about submitting to the cause.

325

So it's an amazing thing to learn for me,

326

because being a musician, it's like you do a show.

327

It's two hours.

328

You leave it all on the stage, and then you leave.

329

But this is every day.

330

Well, the movie looks great.

331

Thanks, Bill.

332

Thank you, Twix.

333

The Crow opens in theaters tomorrow.

334

You've got to see this.

335

Up next, Gabby Thomas.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
