Warning: This article contains spoilers for Barbarian and certain embedded Tweets contain NSFW languageBarbarian fans have taken to social media to share their thirst over Bill Skarsgård's character Keith. The film, which was directed by The Whitest Kids U'Know's Zach Cregger, originally debuted in theaters on September 9, taking the #1 slot at the box office in its opening weekend.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY For some time, Barbarian leaves the question hanging as to whether Keith is a villain or simply an awkward guy who is trying too hard to not freak Tess out during a difficult situation. Their initially spiky dynamic does eventually mellow as he helps Tess prep her room, especially in a goofy moment where he shows her how to properly put a duvet back in its slipcover.
Why Doesn't Bill Skarsgård Play Humans More Often? Skarsgård has become a more and more prominent star in the past five years, but the thirst for the actor hasn't reached a fever pitch until now. This is likely due to the fact that his most prominent roles - especially Pennywise the Clown from the It films - have seen the actor behind layers of makeup and CGI.
There are most likely quite a few reasons why several fans had never seen a project that featured Skarsgård out of makeup and in a prominent role before Barbarian. The first is the simple matter of typecasting. It made money, so Hollywood likely wanted to replicate its success by using the actor in a similar way.
