Eija Skarsgård is a former Swedish model and current nightclub manager. She is widely recognized as the daughter of acclaimed Swedish actors Stellan Skarsgård and My Skarsgård.
Born on February 27, 1992, in Stockholm, Sweden, Eija Skarsgård grew up in a family deeply involved in the entertainment industry. Her father, Stellan Skarsgård, is an internationally known actor with a prolific career in both Swedish and Hollywood cinema. Her mother, My Skarsgård, is also an actress and physician who has appeared in various Swedish television productions.
Eija is one of six siblings, all of whom have pursued careers in film and television to varying degrees. Growing up in such a creative environment encouraged the Skarsgård children to freely express themselves and explore artistic paths.
Eija Skarsgård’s entry into modeling came at the age of 14 when she was discovered by a scout during the premiere of the film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. She attended the event alongside her family, as her father, Stellan, played the role of Bootstrap Bill Turner in the film. Her presence at the high-profile event led to an offer from a modeling agency representative in attendance.
Eija worked professionally as a model for four years. However, she eventually chose to leave the industry, citing a loss of passion for the profession. She later expressed that she did not enjoy the pressure to maintain strict habits concerning diet and personal appearance, which influenced her decision to step away from modeling.
After leaving the modeling world, Eija redirected her career toward the hospitality industry. She currently works as a nightclub manager, where she oversees venue operations and customer experiences. Though she does not pursue a public career in entertainment like her family members, she continues to maintain a strong presence within Stockholm's nightlife and social scene.
