Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
No, this isn't a sneak peek from a very special episode of "True Blood" titled "Eric Northman Goes To College"; it's a real, live Alexander Skarsgård getting a real, live doctorate degree from Leeds Metropolitan University in England! Alexander was one of nine talented individuals to receive an honorary degree from the university for the achievement of general awesomeness. (Okay, so the actual piece of paper says "Doctorate in the Arts." Whatever.)
Alexander smiled and doffed his traditional hat as he showed off his diploma—and showed the world at large just how swoon-worthy our favorite Swede is even when he's not in vampire drag. Big congrats to ASkars on a well-deserved honor! He can borrow a book from our academic library anytime.
