Alicia has said<\/a> that the filmmakers of her movie The Danish Girl<\/em> were:<\/p>\n

…obsessed with me not looking Scandinavian and I was like, ‘I’m the only Scandinavian in the whole film.’ They paled my skin, to make me lighter. People say that I’m tanned, but that’s my natural color.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In an interview on Conan O’Brien’s show on May 5, 2015, Conan told Alicia,<\/p>\n

there’s a misconception… there’s this belief that everyone who’s Swedish has blonde [hair], blue eyes… clearly you’re proof that that’s not the case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alicia replied,<\/p>\n

I always get that question… where are your parents really from?… Do you know where your dad’s from?… [My parents] are both from very small villages, from up north and south of Sweden… I’m a quarter Finnish, but that doesn’t really make me much darker.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alicia’s paternal line can be traced back to her seventh great-grandfather, Clement Clementsson.<\/p>\n

Alicia’s paternal grandfather was Erik Yngve Vikander (the son of Lars Erik Vikander and Hilda Kristina Eriksson).

Johan Edvard was the son of Johan Ersson Lundberg and Anna Andersdotter Sj\u00f6blom. Maria Charlotta was the daughter of Nils Olsson and Johanna Svensdotter.<\/p>\n

Alicia’s maternal grandfather was Anders Gustaf Edvard Fahl (the son of Gustaf Adolf Fahl and Anna Margareta Heideman\/von Heideman). Alicia’s grandfather Anders was born in Annedal, G\u00f6teborg och Bohus, Sweden. Along with Swedish, Anders also had Baltic German ancestry, and descent from Finland-Swedish nobility.
