Stephen Moyer uses “special” visualisation techniques to stop him getting too excited when he films love scenes

Well we've gone from "sock of destiny " to this

Stephen Moyer uses “special” visualisation techniques to stop him getting too excited when he films love scenes with his fiancée Anna

Paquin. The actor plays vampire Bill Compton in sexy US drama True Blood. Bill is romantically involved with Sookie Stackhouse, portrayed by Stephen’s real-life partner Anna. He admits getting steamy on set can be difficult, explaining he just imagines former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher when he’s getting too hot under the collar

“We met on the show, nearly three years ago, and so everything that has happened to us as a couple has happened in front of the crew. We know them, it’s the same crew we’ve had all along. It’s one of those things where – we love the crew and there are times when you are doing a scene and it’s so technical you’re trying to work out camera angles, shadows, so you’re not thinking about things like that,” he explained. “But there are times when... the moment takes you. I have special things I think about to stop anything – mine is usually Margaret Thatcher naked playing table tennis. That works, trust me.”Stephen won the role of Bill when he had all but given up trying to break into the US market. His agent convinced him to read the script, and he was immediately hooked.The 40-year-old expects the series of run for years to come, and is thrilled to be a part of it. “Yeah, I did know it was going to be big. Absolutely from the word go,” he said on British programme This Morning. “There was no question, when I read it I just knew it had everything. Not just about vampires, about a lot of subversive stuff – there’s an undercurrent.”

Margaret Thatcher is still living. It seems rather cruel to say something like this. Even if I were in my 80's (hopefully, someday), I still wouldn't want people to say that they visualized my naked body to keep from getting a woody.
