"If you're all confidence, you never evolve or take risks. You're just stagnating in your artistry, whatever you're doing."
~ Gustaf Skarsgård
Swedish actor, Gustaf Skarsgård is known for his work in TV series such as Westworld, Cursed, and Vikings.
Where height is concerned the Skarsgård family might just be the tallest family in Hollywood. All the members of this family are tall -- Stellan, Bill, Alexander are 6-feet-3 inches or taller.
Gustaf Skarsgård is no different in this regard as well. IMDb lists his height as 6-feet-4 inches. Well, we know for a fact that Alexander Skarsgård is that tall (between 193-194 cm to be precise), and Gustaf looks a bit shorter than him -- therefore he couldn't very well be 6'4" as well.
After taking a careful look at Gustaf, we think he instead looks very similar in height to his other brother Bill Skarsgård who is by his own admission 191 cm tall (a bit above 6'3").

"As humans, we've all experienced some level of pain. Acting is just a matter of accessing and magnifying these emotions."
