Why are vampires so bloody hot right now?
The question was put to Anna Paquin, who plays the fearless vampire lover in the hit series True Blood (returning for a second season tonight at 9 on HBO Canada). "For one thing, all the people that we cast as vampires are incredibly attractive," she says. "You know, the drop-dead gorgeous thing?"
There's no doubt she would include Stephen Moyer in that group. The handsome English actor plays courtly vampire Bill Compton, the 173-year-old soulmate to Paquin's telepathic Louisiana waitress Sookie Stackhouse. Compton is so stuck on Sookie, he risked turning to dust late last season in a daring daylight attempt to protect his lady love.
Moyer himself was practically dusted and fingerprinted on The View last week, when he acknowledged that he and Paquin are very much a couple in real life. Which Paquin is reluctant to do.
"I don't talk about my personal life," the 26-year-old woman says, practically gasping at the audacity of the question. "You can ask, but honestly, I always find that when I know a lot about the actors I'm watching on screen, I stop thinking about them as characters and I'm just thinking about some stupid thing I read in a magazine and I don't believe them – even if they're really good."

Thanks Dallas. BTW am I the only one that cringes when people say Bill and Sookie are Soul mates? It drives me crazy...lol
Jasperann, I don't know what's the breakdown 50/50, and with the last book there's hope for us Bill fans!
I agree with Anna's comment and find that, while I wanted to know if they were dating, now that I do know, it keeps popping into my mind during Bill and Sookie scenes. I think I preferred it when I didn't know the actors were together.
I've always thought Bill and Sookie were soul mates.
And DAG definitely gave Bill fans hope! He's back in the game!
