On The Jonathan Ross Show, actor Alexander Skarsgård speaks about that time he donned a wig, dress and heels at the premier of his 2015 film, Diary Of A Teenage Girl.

And "Lady Labido" learned something very important from that experience.

Getting ready is fun; "everything after that [is] torture".

The Swedish actor admits that while his getup may have been glamorous, it was less than comfortable between the torture that is heels and overheating from his wig.

So why'd he do it?

Skarsgård confesses, "They were all talking about their outfits and their wigs and it just sounded so much fun.

"So I asked Brian, 'can I play?' And he let me."
