Born on August 9, 1990, in Vällingby, Stockholm, he hails from the esteemed Skarsgård family, with his father, Stellan Skarsgård, being a prominent actor, and his brothers Alexander, Gustaf, and Valter also pursuing acting careers . Skarsgård's breakthrough came with his portrayal of Pennywise the Dancing Clown in the 2017 adaptation of Stephen King's It, a role he reprised in the 2019 sequel It Chapter Two. His performance was widely acclaimed for its chilling and nuanced depiction of the iconic villain . Beyond the It films, Skarsgård has showcased his versatility in various genres. He starred in the Netflix series Hemlock Grove (2013–2015) and appeared in the film Castle Rock (2018–2019).

Skarsgård's commitment to his craft is evident in his approach to roles that require significant physical and emotional transformation. For instance, in preparing for his role in Nosferatu, he drew inspiration from the Japanese dance form butoh to embody the character's eerie presence. Looking ahead, Skarsgård continues to expand his repertoire with upcoming projects. In 2025, he starred alongside Anthony Hopkins in the thriller Locked, and in the same year, he appeared in Boy Kills World, a dystopian action-comedy that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
