'IT' Star Bill Skarsgard Busted With Drugs In Sweden

Hollywood actor Bill Skarsgard was reportedly arrested and sentenced for marijuana possession at an airport in Sweden.

The actor was ordered to pay a four-figure fine, after which he could move on from the arrest. Bill has featured in major films like "John Wick: Chapter 4," "Castle Rock," and "Barbarian."

He comes from a long line of Swedish film royalty, starting with his father, Stellan Skarsgard, and brother, Alexander Skarsgard. His remaining four siblings, Gustaf, Sam, Valter, and Eija, are also big names in the Swedish film industry. They were all born to Stellan and his ex-wife, My, who were married for 32 years and divorced in 2007.

Four months ago, Bill Skarsgard was arrested for possession of 2.43 grams of cannabis at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm.

However, the news has only just spread online because he was convicted and sentenced on Wednesday after pleading guilty to the possession charges.

The 33-year-old "It" actor pled guilty in the paperwork he submitted to the court, which the judge used to decide on his sentence. Bill was able to avoid jail time or probation and was instead sentenced to pay a four-figure fine.

According to a report, the fine is 40,000 Swedish krona, which is approximately $3,821 when converted to US Dollars. Compared to his massive net worth, the fine is a minor sentence, as once he pays, the marijuana possession drama will be behind him.

Bill has built a name for himself in the American and Swedish film industry with acting credits in massive projects. He famously portrayed Pennywise, the killer clown, in iconic horror films, "It" and "It: Chapter Two." Bill has also acted in movies like "John Wick: Chapter 4," "Barbarian," "Hemlock Grove," and "Castle Rock."

Aside from his major acting credits, Bill is also well known for his family, who are major players in Hollywood and the Swedish film industry. His father, Stellan Skarsgard, brother Alexander Skarsgard, and Bill himself are the most popular.

Stellan is known for his stellar performance in films like "Mamma Mia," "Good Will Hunting," "Pirates of the Caribbean," and "Chernobyl." Alexander is also well known for his work in hit films like "Zoolander," "Legend of Tarzan," "Succession," "Godzilla vs. Kong," and "True Blood."

Bill and Alexander have four other siblings, who are also big names in the acting industry in Sweden. This includes their three brothers, 43-year-old Gustaf, 41-year-old Sam, 28-year-old Valter, 28, and one sister, 31-year-old Eija. All six Skarsgard kids were born to Stellan and his ex-wife, actress My Skarsgard.

Stellan and My were married for 32 years, had their kids, and eventually divorced in 2007. Stellan later had more kids with his second wife, Megan Everett, including their first boy, Ossian, who was born in 2009. The couple later had a second boy, Kolbjörn, born in 2012.

The actor is the lead in the upcoming film, "Boy Kills World," which was recently acquired by Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions, per Deadline.

In the film, Skarsgard plays the role of Boy, a deaf-mute who has a vivid imagination and an inner voice that he adopted from his favorite video game as a child. Boy vows to get revenge against Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen), the insane matriarch of a corrupt post-apocalyptic dynasty that murdered his family and left him voiceless, deaf, and orphaned.

Roadside Attractions Co-Presidents Howard Cohen and Eric d'Arbeloff gushed about the film, noting that they were "blown away by the crazy action sequences and the terrific cast."

Lauren Bixby of Lionsgate also praised the film, saying: "From the opening frames, 'Boy Kills World' catapulted the Lionsgate team into a completely bonkers world masterfully created by Sam Raimi, Roy Lee, Bill Skarsgård and the incredibly dynamic cast and crew."
