Paquin: 'I Take Off My Bra for Sex'

Share

(Newser) – Sassy Anna Paquin has absolutely no trouble stripping down for scenes in HBO's steamy series Tru Blood, she tells Nylon in a let-it-all-hang-out interview. "I'm sorry, maybe there are women who keep their bras on while they have sex. I don't happen to be one of them," quips Paquin, who plays delectable telepath Sookie Stackhouse.  

"I don't think the naked body is particularly shocking or interesting," she adds. That "not interesting" part has got to be a bit of a letdown for fellow cast member and real-life beau Stephen Moyer, who plays one of Sookie's hot love interests in the vamp show.

If only the character were as "sassy," charming, and interesting as Anna Paquin. I feel like fast forwarding every time Bill and Sookie have a scene.

I have never met a woman who has wanted to keep her bra on during sex. It seems an odd thing for Anna to say and for a woman to do, given that far more intimate parts of the body are involved. Reply

Well, me neither BUT I've noticed that when TV wants to indicate hot steamy sex the woman ALWAYS has her bra on. Recently I caught a few moments of a light porn show on cable and, while the couple was naked, they contorted themselves ridiculously to avoid showing a breast or any other private part. Hence, Ms. Paquin's comment. I agree that the Sookie character has much less spunk than the actress seems to have.
