Alexander Skarsgård in the Rolling Stones' "Mr. Charm" music video YouTube/The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones shared a music video for their song “Mr. Charm.” The cinematic clip, shot in Palmdale, California, stars Alexander Skarsgård and was directed by Henry Scholfield.
In the video, Skarsgård’s character arrives at a run-down motel and diner in the desert, where he immediately charms all of the patrons. Only one woman, played by model Sara Sampaio, seems immune to his magnetic allure.
The band also released a previously-unheard track, “Bad Luck Hideaway.” The song, a duet between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, features drums from Charlie Watts, which were recorded from the sessions at British Grove. The song was produced by Andrew Watt.
“Mr. Charm” comes off the Rolling Stones’ recent LP, Foreign Tongues, which was released in July via Capitol Records. Skarsgård is the latest actor to appear in one of the band’s videos for the album. Anya Taylor-Joy and Charles Melton starred in the video for “Jealous Lover,” while Odessa A’zion appeared in the video for “In the Stars.” Previous actors in the band’s videos include Sydney Sweeney, Paul Mescal, Nicholas Hoult, Kristen Stewart, and Angelina Jolie, among others.
The Rolling Stones recorded Foreign Tongues at London’s Metropolis Studios. Guest artists on Foreign Tongues include Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, the Cure’s Robert Smith, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, and a special appearance by the band’s late drummer Charlie Watts.
