The hunky reality tv star was engaged to Lauren Goodger however the couple ended their engagement on last August due to his claims that Goodger cheated on him during their relationship, a claim she vehemently denies.

This month her appears at the QFT in Melancholia, an apocalyptic movie directed by Lars von Trier and starring Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kiefer Sutherland. He will also be seen soon in Straw Dogs, a remake of the 1971 film. The remake's director, Rod Lurie, transferred the setting from a rural English town to Mississippi, and has described Skarsgard's character as "an ex-football star gone to seed". The film co-starred the gorgeous James Marsden and Kate Bosworth. Skarsgard has been named the Sexiest Man in Sweden five times in his short career. Next year Skarsgard will appear alongside Taylor Kitsch and Rihanna in Battleship, an adaptation of the Hasbro game. It will be released in May 2012.

Generation Kill follows the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion of the United States Marine Corps during the early part of the Iraq War. Following Generation Kill, Skarsgard heard about True Blood, a new series HBO was developing based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries series of novels by Charlaine Harris. At first he was unsure about playing a vampire, but when he learned that Alan Ball, creator of the HBO series Six Feet Under and Academy Award winning screenwriter of American Beauty, was behind the project. He was awarded the role of a 1000-year-old, Viking vampire sheriff, local bar owner and potential love interest of heroine Sookie Stackhouse. True Blood is in its fourth season and the gay belfast team love it!. The True Blood actor is eager to take on nudity and same-sex romps if the role calls for it. He explained in a recent interview, "I'm not a prude at all. I shot a very, very graphic scene two days ago with a man. I am from Sweden, and it's different there. If it makes sense, I'll just do it. And to me, so far, it's made sense every single time I've got naked or made out on the show."

Chris Hemsworth is an Australian actor best known for playing the role of Kim Hyde in the Aussy soap Home and Away. Hunky Hemsworth will portray Marvel Comics character Thor (out this month) in the upcoming films Thor and The Avengers. Thor is directed by Belfast born Kenneth Branagh. The Melbourne hottie left Home and Away in 2007 after three years of shirtless fun and two Logie Award nominations.

In Hollywood, Hemsworth has portrayed James T. Kirk's father, George Kirk, in the opening scenes of J. J. Abrams' 2009 film Star Trek. He also played the character Kale in the thriller A Perfect Getaway the same year. Hemsworth will star in upcoming horror film The Cabin in the Woods and will portray Jed Eckert in the upcoming Red Dawn remake.

In the 2010 film CA$h, Hemsworth portrays the character Sam Phelan, an economically troubled young man. CA$h marks Hemsworth's Hollywood debut, as it was the first film he shot upon his arrival in the United States. In behind-the-scenes interviews, the film's director Stephen Milburn Anderson stated that Hemsworth had only been in the United States for six weeks when he had auditioned for the role. Anderson said, "Here's a guy who is young, has the right look, is a very good actor and, let's face it, he's beautiful. So I say, we need to get this guy in. I was very impressed". On November 2010 The Hollywood Reporter named Hemsworth as one of the young male actors who are “pushing – or being pushed” into taking over Hollywood as the new “A-List”. MTV Networks' NextMovie.com named him one of the 'Breakout Stars to Watch for in 2011'.

Hemsworth is likely to hit the big time in 2011 with his portrayal of Thor in a film adaption of the Marvel Comics superhero. Initially, his brother, Liam, reached the final four for the role, while Chris failed to make the shortlist but he won the role after director Kenneth Branagh decided to re-evaluate earlier candidates. Chris Hemsworth received advice from his brother, saying "We're competitive, but in the best way." His mother helped him with his audition tape by playing Odin. Hemsworth is also scheduled to reprise his role as Thor in The Avengers also based on a Marvel comic about a team of superheroes assembled to protect Earth which is scheduled for release in 2012.

Gay Belfast Hunk of the Month for April Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey gained notice for his breakout role in Dazed and Confused (1993). It was in this role that he first conceived the idea of his catch-phrase "Well alright, alright." He then appeared in films such as A Time to Kill, Contact, U-571, Tiptoes, Sahara, and We Are Marshall.

McConaughey is best known more recently for his performances as a leading man in the romantic comedies The Wedding Planner, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Failure to Launch, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and Fool's Gold. This month we see him in his most recent film The Lincoln Lawyer. He was also one of the presenters at the 2011 Academy Awards ceremony.

The actor has a colourful personal life for example in 1999, McConaughey was arrested in Austin, Texas, for resisting arrest following a disturbance in the early hours of the morning and for possession of cannabis. He had been found to be playing music very loudly on bongo drums while nude in his own home. McConaughey denied the drug charges (which were subsequently dropped), but was charged with disturbing the peace. He pled guilty and paid a fine of $50.

McConaughey's personal motto is "Just Keep Livin". His foundation is called j.k. livin foundation (all lower-case), which "is dedicated to helping teenage kids lead active lives and make healthy choices to become great men and women."

McConaughey rescued various pets stranded after the flooding of New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina. In 2006, in Sherman Oaks, California, he rescued a cat from two youths who had doused the animal in hairspray and were attempting to set it on fire.

McConaughey met his partner, Brazilian model and television performer Camila Alves, in 2006, and they are currently living in Malibu, California. Together they have two children, son Levi Alves and daughter Vida Alves McConaughey.

Gay Belfast Hunk of the Month for March Steven Davies

Steven Davies is an English cricketer who currently plays for Surrey. A stylish and aggressive left-handed batsman who can open the batting in both first-class and limited-overs cricket (though in the former he generally now bats in the middle order). Oh yes, and he's out and proud!

He has had a specticular international career and it started only in 2005. In September 2005 Davies was named in the 17-man ECB National Academy squad. In March 2006, he was called up to the England A squad to replace Chris Read, who had returned home after a burglary at his house. He was named in the England A squad touring Bangladesh in 2007. He made his Twenty20 International debut for England, opening the batting along with Ravi Bopara against the West Indies in Port of Spain on March 15, 2009, top-scoring with 27 from 21 balls as England reached 55 for 1, before collapsing to 121 all out.

In October 2009, Davies was called up to England's Test squad for the first time. Geoff Miller, England's chairman of selectors, said "Steven is a player of great potential who has been a consistent performer for his county and he will act as understudy to Matt Prior in South Africa". Although part of the Test squad, Davies was not selected for the ODI squad on the tour. Davies made his ODI debut in the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy semi-final against Australia on 2 October, after regular wicket-keeper Matt Prior fell ill, but only scored 5 runs in a 9-wicket defeat. Davies had to wait nearly a year for his next appearance. After both Prior and Craig Kieswetter were dropped, Davies was given the gloves for the Pakistan ODI series during September 2010. England won the ODI series 3-2, with Davies earning himself a man-of-the-match award in the first game after top-scoring with 87. After the series, Davies was selected along with Prior as a keeper in England's squad for the 2010-11 Ashes series in Australia, although he was not required to play as England retained the Ashes with a 3-1 victory. In the one-day games that followed, he played in two Twenty20s before scoring 42 in the first ODI. However, when the squad for the 2011 World Cup was announced before the second ODI, Davies was left out in favour of Prior, who then joined up with the ODI side despite not originally being selected in the squad.

He told Elizabeth Grice in the Telegraph that after months of personal conflict have led to this moment, when England’s talented young wicketkeeper is ready to reveal what his colleagues have known, but kept secret, since the Ashes series began last year – he is gay, and has struggled for years to conceal it. The 24-year-old Surrey player made the startling confession to his team-mates just before the tour to Australia, but they agreed to keep the story “in house” to protect him and so that it would not be a distraction. In a remarkable piece of mentoring, Andrew Strauss, the England captain, and Andy Flower, the coach, undertook to ring every member of the team on Davies’s behalf. “It was a fantastic thing to do,” he says. “It was a massive relief, telling the lads. The difference is huge. I am so much happier.” Now he admits that concealing his sexuality had become increasingly hard to bear, especially on tour when he would retreat to his hotel room because he felt so “out of the loop” when other players were exchanging banter.

Andrew Garfield is about to hit it big. The American born actor has lived in the UK since he was three and has appeared in radio, theatre, film, and television. He is known for his roles in the 2007 films Lions for Lambs, Boy A, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and the 2010 drama The Social Network. But 2011 is his big year as he has been cast as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the franchise's 2012 reboot. Garfield started taking acting classes in Guildford when he was fifteen, and appeared in a youth theater production of Bugsy Malone. He also joined a small youth theater workshop group in Epsom, and began working primarily as a stage actor. In 2004, he won a MEN Theatre Award for his performance in Kes at Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre (where he also played Romeo the year after), and won the outstanding newcomer award at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards 2006. Garfield made his British television debut in 2005, appearing in the Channel 4 teenage drama Sugar Rush. Also in 2005 he played gay in Jonathan Harvey's Beautiful Thing. In October 2007, he was named one of Variety's "10 Actors to Watch" In Channel 4’s ‘Boy A’, his first film lead, secured him a best TV actor BAFTA . He still regards Boy A as a landmark role that gave him a set of goals for all his future work.

"Until I was about 17, I didn't quite realise what a major part of my psyche and my soul the American films I was raised on were," says Andrew Garfield. "Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, The Princess Bride – those are the films that led me to want to be an actor." Now he has his chance to stake his own claim on the psyches and souls of a new generation of teenage moviegoers, taking the title role in next year's Spider-Man reboot.
Taking on one of cinema's most high-profile roles might be a daunting prospect, but his has not quite been a rise from nowhere: 2010 has already been a stellar year for Garfield, whose star has gone supernova with a series of roles that must leave well-established British TV peers like John Simm, David Tennant and Ben Whishaw cursing the scrawny twentysomething.

First up for Garfield fans is David Fincher's The Social Network, the story of the early life of Facebook and the relationships that were built and destroyed by its success. It's already been hailed the film of the year and has picked up a host of awards and is up for 8 Academy Awards, including “Best Picture”. At almost exactly the same time, his next turn, alongside Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley in Mark Romanek's adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go.

Tobey Maguire fans – and there are many vocal and vehement ones – will insist that no one can replace the king of geek chic in the Spider suit, but they may come to accept that if anyone can, it's Garfield. He has all of Maguire's innate intelligence and endearing gawky awkwardness, as well as one crucial advantage over his predecessor – as a former gymnast, Garfield can do his own backflips. Newly appointed Spider-Man director, Mark Webb, is certainly sold. "Those who know this young actor's work understand his extraordinary talents," he has said. "He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker."

Garfield himself says, yes, it's a big deal, but you suspect there may be few young actors who understand the role like he does. "The reluctant hero, full of self-doubt, who isn't supremely confident, who hunches, literally hunches his body, but learns how to access his own personal strength – Spider-Man has been a constant source of reassurance for me in my own personal life," he says. "I've been inspired by the character since reading the comic books and seeing the cartoons, and then watching Tobey Maguire in the Sam Raimi films. It's a story that propels you into your own fantasies about finding that strength yourself. I'm incredibly excited by it."

Garfield's ability to make such a compelling analysis of Spider-Man won't surprise anyone who has followed his swiftly ascending career so far. It's not just his nervous energy – he has said that he arrives on most sets feeling "scared and insecure" and often "sabotages" himself. Garfield has a history of making interesting choices and a knack for using his edgy watchfulness to steal scenes from some of the best actors in the business.
He has always been very ambitious, however – when asked whose career he would most like to emulate he says he'd like to be "an amalgamation of every great artist who's inspired me, from Daniel Day-Lewis to Tom Hanks" – and it was inevitable the lure of LA would prove irresistible. "I was born in America, my dad's American – I had a romantic vision of what American movies were," he says. Then he reveals the British part of himself: "But a part of me didn't want to spoil that vision by actually making them." One imagines he'll be rather pleased he managed to overcome that little dilemma.

Luton born actor Neil Jackson is on the up this month with the release of the BBC's Upstairs Downstairs which he stars alongside Keeley Hawes from Ashes to Ashes. Neil plays good-looking and cocksure, Harry Spargo. The original series of Upstairs Downstairs was a worldwide sensation, and the show is still known and loved in 70 different countries. Its' countless awards include seven Emmys, two BAFTAs and a Golden Globe.An ex-amateur boxing champion, who worked as a personal trainer before becoming an actor. Neil Jackson has appeared in several television series and films, but is probably best-known for his role as Marcus on Blade: The Series and Sasha on Make It or Break It. His screenwriting credits include the film The Passage directed by Mark Heller and released in 2007. His big break came when Oliver Stone cast him in Alexander alongside Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie. Since then he has starred in several other films including the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. In 2012 he will appear in the big budget The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Harry Spargo has a cheeky outlook on life. He's very meticulous with his job, and takes his work very seriously. He likes everything to have its place and is very fastidious. But with his outlook on everything else he kind of sections himself off from the house. He spends a lot of time in his own company and he has an almost sardonic view of the way everybody else operates their business – he has a wry sense of humour. I think he sees his role as driver as a far more important job than the cooking and the butlering – almost that he's above the rest of the servants.

He's incredibly sympathetic. He does get involved with the Fascist movement, but that involvement comes from a place of innocence. He's very much about working class rights of the working class man – and that was Mosley's original message – trying to unite the working class man under a common banner. Harry wants to empower himself – not fully realising the greater message and the greater connotations of the Fascist movement and the way it would end.

What do you think it is about Upstairs Downstairs that has stood the test of time?

I think people are always going to be fascinated about the haves and have nots – about the divide between the servants and the rich families upstairs. We're not talking about current issues, although there are reflections of current issues in the series.

It's incredible. When you hear the voices of the other cast at the read-through it adds so much more to it. I found myself sometimes being caught up in watching the way that Adrian or Anne Reid or Eileen would deliver a line. It's hypnotic, watching such wonderful craftspeople at work.

The events of 1936 have a huge impact on your character. Did you do much research into the period?

The moment I was given the part I blitzed YouTube and looked up footage of Mosley rallies, to try and get as much information as I could. The beauty of what Heidi has done with the scripts is that they are so incredibly rich – there's so much already in there that is provided by the research that she's done.

The attention to detail on this show is mind-boggling. The production design, as well as costume and make-up, have done such an amazing job. The enormous level of attention to detail is so subtle that it all makes this a rich show. The audience will be thrown into the rich, lavish 1930s home and it will draw people in.

One of the more memorable scenes is when we filmed the Cable Street riots – with huge crowds dressed in black shirts and the whole area decked out like a scene from 1936. As part of the scene, Mosley comes past in his car and they all do the fascist salute. Suddenly this period came to life for me. I looked around and everything was as if I'd just stepped in through a 1936 window. It was such an incredible period.

I think so. You've got a cast who have a large younger following. I think that the story and the characters are rich and that the story will help people stay. It's the sort of good drama and TV that the BBC has become renowned for. It's the type of show that the whole family can sit down to watch and it raises as many questions as it does answers.

You spent quite a chunk of your time in Cardiff when you were studying. How has it been to come back to south Wales?

I haven't been here for about 11 years so it's been incredible to be back. A lot has changed. I used to work as a doorman in the city centre in various clubs. It's fun to come back and go on a trip down memory lane. There's a lot of history here for me. It all very much began here so it's almost as if it's gone full circle for me to come back to Cardiff.
