Child star Anna Paquin is all grown-up in hit vampire drama True Blood

From Glasgow Sunday Mail

SEXY Anna Paquin might be TV's raunchiest vampire lover - but film fans will remember her best as the schoolgirl star of The Piano.

Her role as waitress Sookie Stackhouse in Channel 4's critically acclaimed new drama True Blood sees her cavorting naked for red hot love scenes with a vampire.

But rather than blushing about it, at 27 Anna thinks she's got nothing to be shy about.

She laughed: "It would be really stupid if it was one of those shows where the couple who do it all the time were constantly being draped with sheets so that you don't see a nipple or wear bras during sex.

"Maybe some people do but that's just not been my experience.

"Maybe because I was a kid actor, nobody expects me to do those kind of scenes but it's a big part of our show."

Anna, who became the second youngest Oscar winner for her role as Flora McGrath in The Piano, admits that, even when she's got her clothes on, there's not a lot of them as her waitress's uniform consists of hotpants and a tight T shirt.
