Alexander Skarsgard often appears shirtless or naked on True Blood but he had on clothes for a very important ceremony on Wednesday. The actor donned a gown to collect an honorary doctorate degree in the arts from Leeds Metropolitan University despite having dropped out after just six months there. Skarsgard enrolled at the university in 1996 to study English after completing a stint of national service but he moved to New York City and enrolled in a theater class at Marymount Manhattan College where he fell in love with acting. Skarsgard has since confessed that he didn’t study much and instead had a blast and partied while in Leeds.
