Vampire Diaries’ Klaus vs. True Blood’s Eric Northman: Who Is the Hotter Ancient Vampire?

What we wouldn’t give to be alone with these two bad boys.

As the foreseeably invincible and most powerful of the Originals, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) does what he wants when he wants — and he’s not too concerned about who gets in his way. Similarly, Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) is known for his aggressive and cold-blooded (ha!) ways. Plus, he’s one of the oldest vamps around.

But which of of these two devastatingly handsome vampires is hotter?

Let’s run through some quick similarities. Both are towering, blonde gentlemen of foreign descent (Viking stock, to be exact). Klaus was one of the first vampires to ever be created, while Eric is generally one of the older vampires in the True Blood universe. As menacing as they both seem at first, Klaus and Eric turn into big softies when around certain women in their lives; Klaus pines for novice vampire Caroline (Candice Accola), while Eric is in love with telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin)
