Beware, losers. Pennywise is BACK.
In a follow-up to 2017's IT reboot, Pennywise the Dancing Clown is returning to the big screen in IT Chapter 2 to terrorise the now-adult Losers Club and a new generation of children.
However, underneath the garish makeup and grotesque smile, the actor who plays Pennywise a.k.a. Bill Skarsgård is actually a total babe in real life. <3
High cheekbones, chiselled jawline, and that signature intense stare... now that's a face we wouldn't mind haunting our dreams. ;)
Sure, he's got the brooding bad boy look down pat, but he's kind of a cutie pie too. Just look at not-at-all-creepy smile!
If you're wondering why his last name sounds familiar, that's because Bill came from a family of actors. In fact, you might've heard of his dad Stellan Skarsgård or his brothers Alexander and Gustaf.

Alexander Skarsgård (pictured above, right) has starred in hit TV shows True Blood and Big Little Lies as well as in The Legend of Tarzan, while Gustaf Skarsgård (also pictured above, left) was in HBO's Westworld and is currently starring in the History Channel series Vikings.
Aside from playing an evil clown, you've probably seen him as the short-lived Zeitgeist in Deadpool 2 as well as in Atomic Blonde (alongside IT Chapter 2 co-star James McAvoy) or Allegiant

... Just remember that he's not real and actually this cutie pie in real life
This has been a Bill Skarsgård appreciation post. You're welcome.
