Dune actor Stellan Skarsgård has opened how his life perspective changed after suffering a stroke three years ago.
The veteran has been one of the prominent names of Hollywood as he has been a part of many renowned projects namely Mamma Mia!, Pirates of the Caribbean, Angels and Demons, and Thor.
Now that Stellan has lived a prosperous life filled with fame and popularity, he believes that he is living a life on overtime.
Three years ago, the legendary actor suffered a heart attack, and now he thinks he is living under the sword.
In conversation with Vulture, Skarsgård stated, "I feel a little more like I live under the sword now. Because I’ve lived a naughty life. And I’m 74, which is already on overtime."
He further shared one of his biggest fears during the conversation.
"I’m not afraid of dying, but I am afraid of not being capable of living. That is a fear."
Stellan is also afraid of being boring as he said, "With all my eight kids, there’s one thing I’ve been afraid of every time I have a new kid. Not that they have Down syndrome or they’re autistic … that they’re boring. Luckily, none of them were."
Work wise, the 74-year-old actor is currently receiving a lot of appreciation for his moving performance in Sentimental Value.
