“It’s no secret at Self, we love True Blood. Anna Paquin’s emergence as a sex symbol — and the onscreen (and off-screen!) heat between her and costar Stephen Moyer — has made HBO’s hit show one of our favourites. In fact, we love it so much that we just had to feature its heroine in our July issue.” This from Condé Nast’s US fitness magazine Self, which profiles Paquin in the July 23 issue modeling ’50s-inspired summer clothes. “After I was cast and realised my body would be exposed all the time, I went out and bought some shorts — I owned none — to help me get used to it,” she said. “I’ve learned to feel very comfortable wearing very little. It’s liberating!”
