Skarsgard about the toxic marriage from The Big Little Lies
The Swedish actor wasn’t familiar with the Liane Moriarty novel that the series is based on when he got the script but was instantly intrigued by Perry and Celeste’s dangerous marriage.
Before filming, the actor spent a couple of weeks with Nicole working out how they would portray the relationship in a way that was fascinating for the audience. The actors were working together – in 2011’s Melancholia and in 2003’s Dogville. So, their current duo became another masterpiece, said the director.
‘We wanted to show how sexual their relationship is, and how that bleeds into the abusiveness, and how the interconnectedness of those two things make her blame herself for him being so abusive,’
Alexander explained.
