The Rolling Stones released a new music video for the single “Mr. Charm” on Oct. 1, 2026, starring Alexander Skarsgård. Filmed in Palmdale, California, the cinematic clip shows Skarsgård’s character arriving at a rundown motel and diner, instantly charming the patrons except model Sara Sampaio’s character.

Directed by Henry Scholfield, the video accompanies the track from the band’s July‑released album Foreign Tongues, issued by Capitol Records. The song features a duet between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, drums recorded from late drummer Charlie Watts’ sessions at British Grove, and production by Andrew Watt.

Rolling Stones’ recent videos have featured actors such as Anya Taylor‑Joy, Charles Melton, Odessa A’zion, Sydney Sweeney, Paul Mescal, Nicholas Hoult, Kristen Stewart and Angelina Jolie. Guest contributors on Foreign Tongues include Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of the Cure and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with a posthumous appearance by Charlie Watts.

Earlier this year, Mick Jagger hinted the band may pursue a residency instead of touring, while Keith Richards said in a Billboard interview that a 2027 residency is a possibility, noting the band wants to avoid rushing new releases.
