'True Blood's' Anna Paquin Defends Her True Nakedness

"True Blood" star Anna Paquin is speaking out about how little she minds taking off her clothing on the small screen. Of course, we really didn't need an interview to know that...all we'd have to do is catch pretty much any episode of "True Blood" ever made and we'd know exactly how Paquin felt on the topic of onscreen nudity.


Speaking to Nylon Anna (27) said, "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." Okay, okay. You don't have to have an attitude about it. Nobody is forcing you to keep your bra on, Anna.


Anna Paquin, who was born in Canada and raised in New Zealand, seems to think it's only old-fashioned Americans that have a problem with nudity. Said Paquin, "I don't think a naked body is particularly shocking or interesting. It's not the culture I was raised in. I was not brought up in the United States. I don't share the (attitude) that you can have graphic violence, but God forbid you see someone's nipples." Whoa. It's not often that people from the US get called out as squares...aren't we supposed to be the ones whose movie starlets can't remember to put their underwear on?


Of course, Anna's naked scenes are made easier by the fact that she gets to do them with her real-life fiance, Stephen Moyer. Perhaps she'd be more hesitant to take her bra off so freely, if she had to get it on every day at work with some stranger. (We're sure Anna would deny that this would be the case, and would probably accuse us of being super old-fashioned American writers. So we'll back off. Besides, it's not like anyone's complaining that Anna Paquin loves to take her clothes off...)
