In the world of Hollywood, it's not uncommon for actors to fall in love while working together. Such is the case for Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin, who found love on the set of HBO's hit show, True Blood. Now, years later, the couple still thrives on collaborating and supporting each other's careers.
Moyer, currently starring in the prequel series Sexy Beast, reflects on the joy of working with his spouse. When asked about the potential challenges of working together, Moyer dismisses any notion of weirdness, pointing out that they met on set and spent seven years working side by side. If anything, not working together feels strange and leaves him longing for her company.
The dynamic duo has not only worked together on True Blood but also on Paquin's series Flack and the film A Bit of Light. Moyer emphasizes the special connection they share on set, explaining that they have developed a unique language and understanding that allows them to effortlessly anticipate each other's needs and reactions. It's a level of comfort and synergy born out of years of collaboration.
In Sexy Beast, Moyer underwent a physical transformation to inhabit his character, Teddy Bass. He dyed his hair jet black and even acquired a weekly spray tan, as it was an integral part of the Northern city culture in which the show was filmed. Moyer humorously recalls his time waiting in line for weekly tans with local girls, establishing a funny and lighthearted bond with the community.
The actor admits that the new look helped him embrace Teddy Bass's personality, describing him as overly confident. He developed a swagger, an air of self-assurance that was necessary for the character. Moyer found it amusing to witness a different reflection in the mirror, contrasting his usual pale appearance with a jet-black head and a deep tan.
As Moyer continues to captivate audiences with his role in Sexy Beast, it's evident that his love for working alongside Paquin remains as strong as ever. The shared experience and understanding they have acquired over the years enhance their professional collaborations, making it a truly rewarding and enjoyable endeavor.
