It movie: The actor behind Pennywise has a VERY famous dad… AND brother

The film – adapted from Stephen King’s novel – is arriving on the big screen on a wave of acclaim.

Bill Skarsgard, the actor playing the horror icon, is from a family who should be quite familiar with acting glory.

He’s the son of Stellan Skarsgard, famous for roles in Breaking The Waves, Good Will Hunting, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3, Mamma Mia! and The Hunt For The Red October.

He’s also popped up in the MCU as Dr Erik Selvig in Thor, Avengers, Thor: The Dark World and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

He has no less than eight children, of whom Bill is the fourth eldest – born in 1990.

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel’s chatshow last night, Bill joked: “He has eight kids, and the first rule is you have to be an actor!
