Alexander Skarsgard shapes up as lord of the jungle in the new Tarzan movie, writes Susan Griffin

DAVID Yates, the director of the final four Harry Potter movies, admits it was tough finding the right man to bring to life the title role in his latest movie, The Legend Of Tarzan.

“To find a really good actor with a really good body is actually really quite tricky,” observes the 52-year-old. “The Tarzan in my head was tall and vertical, had grace and poise, whereas Tarzan in the past felt really wide and square.”
