Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin Talk About On-Set Courtship

Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin, co-stars on the hit HBO show True Blood, recently talked about how they met on-set and how their romance, which happened relatively quickly, just seemed right to the both of them from the start.

Stephen, who plays vampire Bill Compton, and Anna, who plays his love interest, telepathic barmaid Sookie Stackhouse, ended up spending a lot of time together between shoots and during their off-time in the first season, mostly because they were the only two who weren’t Los Angeles natives:

Says Stephen: “We both were absolutely single and we were doing this job and HBO puts us in the same hotel. We were the only two out of towners as everybody else lived in LA. We just had some time off so we started hanging out together and literally finished the pilot, went home and felt very strange not being together suddenly. And I think we were both really surprised about that. Really nicely surprised by that.”

The couple became engaged earlier this year, much to the delight of True Blood fans. The show, which is based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris, wraps up its second season on HBO this Sunday, September 13th.
