Paquin: 'Fans find my nude scenes weird'

Rex Features

Anna Paquin has revealed that viewers get uncomfortable seeing her naked in vampire drama True Blood.

The actress, who played Flora in Oscar-winning film The Piano aged 11, said that people find it difficult to see her strip off because they still think of her as an innocent child star.

Paquin told Bang Showbiz: "It's been a gradual evolution for me. It's probably weird for people to watch it and if they have this image of me as a sweet little child, but it's not weird for me."

She continued: "My wardrobe is awesome. I'm practically naked the entire time - what's not to love?"

The 27-year-old actress added: "Vampires are dangerously sexy. And In TV and film they cast very good looking people in those roles. If they weren't wildly attractive then the whole bloodsucking thing wouldn't be such a turn on. I'm sure that probably helps."
