Actor Alex Skarsgard says it's natural to love titles like 'Sexiest Man', but doesn't find it important.
Asked if he is worthy of the title Sweden's Sexiest Man, Skargard said: "I don't know. I never Google myself or read blogs, so I don't really keep track of any of that. I'm not trying to say I don't care about it, because of course it's lovely if someone thinks you're a good actor or good looking."
However, the "Melancholia" actor doesn't think it would do him "any good" to keep track of his position in the 'lists' as "it's trivial", reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"Well, we are human, so of course we are going to love that kind of title. I'm not trying to pretend I don't, but it's not important at the end of the day," he told Notebook magazine.
"It wouldn't do me any good if I was to constantly look at where I end up on that sexy list, or if I slipped down the list and stressed out about why that was. One day you're popular and the next day you're not. It's trivial," he added.
