Anna Paquin: Male co-stars shy about nudity

Anna Paquin

Anna Paquin says her male co-stars are more concerned about nude scenes than women are.

The actress claimed the True Blood boys - including her husband Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgård - are sensitive about showing off their bodies because they aren't used to being seen as objects of sexual desire.

The blonde star isn't fazed by stripping off in front of a camera.

"The boys are just a bit touchier about it because they are not used to being treated as an object, like women are. We don't really care - we are half-naked almost all the time anyway, aren't we?" she told German publication Spiegel.de.

Anna will miss True Blood producer Alan Ball, who will have a less hands-on role on the show after season five.

The 29-year-old joked that Alan has a lot of sleep to catch up on having been heavily involved in the programme since before its 2008 launch.

"This is his opus. To be fair, the man hasn't slept a lot over the last years," she said. "We need to face the truth: we are at our peak, but at some point even this superb show will come to its end."

Working behind the scenes will yield significant rewards. If someone asks you to serve as their assistant, go ahead and accept. The pay will be excellent and there will be a lot of fringe benefits, too. Don't talk about a neighbour's private life in mixed company.More
