Stephen Moyer “Incredibly Comfortable” In Bed Scenes With Anna Paquin

By | Posted on June 22nd, 2009
  • In an interview with USA Today, British actor Stephen Moyer, who plays vampire Bill Compton on True Blood, says he doesn’t feel awkward at all shooting graphic sex scenes with his real-life lover, Oscar-winning actress Anna Paquin (Sookie):

    “We have now been together for nearly two years. Our relationship has grown with everybody watching us and knowing us, so we’re incredibly comfortable in front of (the crew). I actually think that it helps, because we are able to try things in the sex scenes – I think we’re able to do things that perhaps a couple that weren’t together would never dare try. It certainly makes those moments much easier on the crew knowing that we feel comfortable. I’m so used to having them on set when Anna and I are having a love scene that when we get home and we’re in bed by ourselves, I kind of miss them.”

    Hmm, if Stephen Moyer weren’t so hot, that would be mucho creepy. You might remember Moyer from the BBC AMERICA series, NY-LON, in which he got involved in some heavy erotic acrobatics with co-star Rashida Jones. And I must say, his natural British accent is much more alluring than his phony U.S. twang. Watch a clip of NY-LON here.
