Alexander Skarsgård Trolling His Brother At 'It' Premiere Is Amazing

What are older brothers for?

Bill Skarsgård puts in an absolutely terrifying performance as Stephen King's killer clown Pennywise in the remake of It.

The highly-anticipated movie, directed by Andrés Muschietti and starring Bill Skarsgård, opened on Thursday and took $13.5 million (£10 million) making it the highest grossing R-rated movie opening ever. Impressive.

As you may have guessed given the unusual surname, Bill is the younger brother of actor Alexander Skarsgård - best known for his roles in True Blood and Zoolander.

Bill brought his big brother, and big star, Alexander along to the premiere with him. And it looks like Alexander wasted absolutely no time in being an annoying older sibling.

It's good to know that even when you're the star of a record-breaking movie your older brother is still a knob, isn't it?

Pretty much every photo of the pair from the premier features Alex pulling a stupid face and Bill barely keeping it together. Their other brother, Gustav, was slightly better behaved, though:

It's fair to say, that Bill was a fairly unknown actor until It, but he's sure to be catapulted to mega-stardom, however, he comes from an impressive Hollywood family, aside from Alexander, the two other Skarsgård brothers Valter and Gustaf, from Vikings, are also actors.

As is papa Skarsgård - Stellan Skarsgård - who's starred in Good Will Hunting, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Avengers. Charades must be pretty decent 'round their house.
