He knows how to reel ’em in.
Alexander Skarsgård, 50, hit a special screening of “Wicker” at New York’s AMC Lincoln Square 13 on Tuesday in a white T-shirt reading “Lick My Worm.”
Artist Flora Miles custom-made the cheeky tee, and the actor made sure nobody missed it under his suit jacket.
“Make sure they see the worm,” he quipped in video from the event as he posed with the cast.
The phrase is one of Olivia Colman’s lines from the film, in which she plays the Fisherwoman, a village outcast who orders herself a husband woven from wicker.
Stellan Skarsgård came out to cheer on his son, joined by Colman and directors Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer.
Stylist Harry Lambert, who is also dressing Harry Styles for his 30-night Madison Square Garden residency, put together the look.
The worm is just the latest curveball of Skarsgård’s “Wicker” promo run. He’s also sat for interviews in a vintage “I’m With Stupid” tee and a JW Anderson sweater sprouting knitted flowers, leaves and moss.
At the London premiere last week, he went shirtless under a gold Saint Laurent suit and bared his toes in see-through shoes from the brand.
Daring footwear is familiar territory for the Swede, who wore Saint Laurent’s thigh-high boots at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. He also embraced a saucy wardrobe of leather, short shorts and sequins on his Pillion” press tour earlier this year.
His co-stars approve of his on-screen getup, too. “He’s easy on the eye anyway, but he put him in a basket outfit and… who knew?” Colman told Variety at Sundance.
“Even maybe a little bit sexier,” Elizabeth Debicki chimed in, to which Colman replied, “He is a hot basket.”
“Wicker” opens in select theaters Oct. 23 before expanding nationwide Oct. 30.
