A Different Look for Your Horror King! Bill Skarsgård Will Charm Your Pants off in This Little-Known Rom-Com
Bill Skarsgård ditches the horror for heartwarming humor in Simple Simon, playing a teen who treats love like an experiment.
The quest for love is hard enough, but try doing it with nothing but logic, a stopwatch, and a firm no-touching policy. That’s the dilemma at the center of Simple Simon. The oddball Swedish romantic comedy features Bill Skarsgård in a role that’s far removed from his usual terror-inducing characters. Before the actor was lurking in sewers, giving viewers an aversion for red balloons, he was Simon, an 18-year-old with Asperger’s syndrome who preferred the order of outer space to the chaos of human relationships. But when his brother Sam’s (Martin Wallström) breakup throws things off in his regimented world, Simon takes it upon himself to fix things the only way he knows how — science.
