Hollywood actor Bill Skarsgard has reportedly been arrested and sentenced for possession of marijuana at an airport in Sweden.
The actor was ordered to pay a four-figure fine, after which he could continue his detention. Bill has been featured in major films such as “John Wick: Chapter 4,” “Castle Rock” and “Barbarian.”
He comes from a long line of Swedish film royalty, starting with his father, Stellan Skarsgard, and his brother, Alexander Skarsgard.

They were all born to Stellan and his ex-wife, My, who were married for 32 years and divorced in 2007.

Four months ago, Bill Skarsgard was arrested for possessing 2.43 grams of marijuana at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm.
However, the news only broke online as he was convicted and sentenced on Wednesday after pleading guilty to possession charges.
The 33-year-old “It” actor pleaded guilty in paperwork he submitted to the court, which the judge used to decide his sentence. Bill was able to avoid jail time or probation and instead was sentenced to a four-figure fine.
According to reports, the fine is 40,000 Swedish krona, which is about $3,821 when converted to US Dollars. Compared to his huge net worth, the fine is a minor punishment, because once he pays up, the drama of marijuana possession will be behind him.

Lionsgate’s Lauren Bixby also praised the film, saying: “From the opening frame, ‘Boy Kills World’ plunges the Lionsgate team into a truly insane world created by Sam Raimi, Roy Lee, Bill Skarsgård and an incredibly dynamic cast and crew . “
