Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse) talks about the nudity on the set of True Blood. She says it doesn't bother her. Anna Paquin (who plays Sookie Stackhouse) is certainly used to getting naked on the show, but says the graphic love scenes are the least of her concerns. "It doesn't really bother me," she admits. "I'm really close with all of our cast, and we've all seen each other in various compromising and odd situations." The actress is, of course, particularly close with fiance Stephen Moyer (who plays Sookie's vampire lover Bill), and Moyer says their real-life romance definitely adds to their love scenes. Jokes the actor, "I think that one great bonus is we don't need a fluffer."The awful maenad from season two is gone, but we can expect more bad things in season 3. Werewolves are one of the creatures we know about for sure. Episode 1 airs June 13th on HBO. Posted on June 10, 2010 Permalink | Subscribe | | | Comments (View) | |
