Stephen Moyer Tells How He Knew True Blood Co-Star Was “The One”

(HMG) – British actor Stephen Moyer, 40, who got engaged to Anna Paquin, 27, last summer, came to realize his co-star was “the one” when they had to spend time apart after filming the True Blood pilot two years ago.  He tells Redbook magazine:

“We were the only two actors who didn’t live in Los Angeles, so we ended up going to dinner almost every night while filming the pilot.

“When we finished filming, I went to London and she went to New York, and it felt so weird not to talk to her. So, we began Skyping and have been together ever since.”

Stephen, who plays vampire Bill Compton opposite Anna as Sookie Stackhouse, claims though their off screen relationship is an advantage when shooting the many True Blood love scenes they do, as it’s “less awkward for everyone”. He explained:

“Everybody on set now gets to see what goes on behind closed doors. leave nothing to the imagination.

“Our love scenes actually work really well. Since the crew knows we do have chemistry and are together in real life, I feel like it takes away from the nerve-racking tension that can occur when people have to watch two actors who are just getting to know each other engage in an intimate scene.”
