Hollywood hottie Alexander Skarsgard appeared on the Late Late Show last night to promote his new movie War On Everyone.

He was joined on the couch by his co-star Michael Pena and director John Michael McDonagh, but had quite the awkward moment with Ryan when he said he once “back-packed” in Ireland.

After a confused glance, Alex said: “12 hours, I’ve spent 12 hours here.

“I lived in Leeds for a while. We spent one night in a youth hostel in bunk beds with German back packers.

“We had one meal, and we went to McDonalds,” he laughed.

Michael then joked: "Well done with that research," before Alexander awkwardly added: “Great story guys…"

The lads also didn't realise the show is filmed live, and had another pretty funny moment in the clip above.
