Alexander Skarsgård, Sara Sampaio and a Full Dance Floor Bring “Mr Charm” to Life
The Rolling Stones have done it again with a stellar new single and video! “Mr Charm,” from the band’s 2026 album Foreign Tongues, arrives with a Henry Scholfield-directed visual fronted by Alexander Skarsgård — with Sara Sampaio and a full ensemble of dancers helping turn the Palmdale desert setting into one sweaty little Stones playground.
Alexander shakes his tailfeather, strolling, side-stepping and moving through the roadside world with plenty of Jagger in the hips. Sexy and sweaty. How we like our Skarsgård. But he isn’t dancing alone: the video keeps expanding around him, filling the gas-station-and-diner setting with dancers, bodies in motion and the kind of loose choreography that makes “Mr Charm” feel less like a star vehicle and more like a whole scene breaking open.

The video was shot in Palmdale, California and directed by Henry Scholfield, whose music-video résumé includes Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Stromae and Stormzy. Choreography comes from Jillian Meyers, giving Skarsgård and the surrounding dancers plenty of room to lean into the Stones’ physical, slightly unruly energy.
Sara Sampaio also appears in the video, joining Skarsgård as one of its principal faces while the dancers keep the roadside world around them moving. The visual opens with a dance sequence at a gas station before folding into the diner setting, a knowing nod to the band’s long history of turning swagger itself into choreography.
Skarsgård is only the latest screen star to enter the Stones’ current visual universe. Anya Taylor-Joy and Charles Melton previously appeared in “Jealous Lover,” while Odessa A’zion led “In The Stars.” With “Mr Charm,” the band again stays mostly outside the frame and lets a new cast physically interpret the song instead.
The single is also paired with “Bad Luck Hideaway,” a Mick Jagger and Keith Richards duet featuring drums recorded by the late Charlie Watts during sessions at British Grove. Produced by Andrew Watt, the track arrived on streaming alongside “Mr Charm,” giving Stones fans a second fresh cut to dig into.

From the first gas-station steps to the diner-floor chaos, the dancers are not background dressing here — they are part of the video’s pulse, pushing Skarsgård’s strut into something bigger, stranger and far more fun.
