Nylon September 2009 : Anna Paquin By Jason Nocito

[tarsha]

Anna is the cover girl for Nylon Magazine for September, and Page Six got some early interview excerpts. Anna says she doesn’t mind all of the nudity she does for True Blood, and that she doesn’t find nudity “shocking”. She also has a funny perspective on being a blonde now:

TO DIE FOR
Up all night with Anna Paquin and her alter ego, True Blood's Sookie Stackhouse.

Anna Paquin has an Oscar, a cool accent, and maybe the best role on television – bombshell mind reader Sookie Stackhouse on True Blood. We sat down with her, Stephen Moyer (aka Vampire Bill) and their Maker, HBO producing legend Alan Ball, to discuss their bloody TV phenomenon.

Anna Paquin, on her Nude Scenes:
“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.”

On Going Blonde for Sookie:
“I don’t look like a Barbie doll, and probably never will. People are incredibly literal in how they view you. You have dark hair and pale skin? You must be brooding. The second you dye your hair blonde and get a spray tan, people treat you as if you’re a bit stupider and happier. Suddenly, it’s like you’re hot and sexy.”

On TV Acting:
“It never occurred to me that one form of acting was better than another. I think if you approach your career like that you’re limiting yourself to a very boring path. For me, it’s about the material.”

Epilogue: Stephen Moyer, on Vampire Sex:
“The thing about vampirism is that it taps into a female point of view – you have an old-fashioned gentleman with manners who is a ****ing killer… it’s an interesting duality, because in our present society it would be an odd thing for a woman to say, ‘I want my man to be physical with me.’ How, as a modern man, can you ****ing work that? It’s one thing to be polite and gentle… But when do you know it’s OK to crawl out of the mud and r*pe her [as Bill does in one scene]?... It’s difficult stuff for a bloke, but a vampire gets away with it…. I think that’s the attraction of the show – it’s looking back at a romantic time when men were men, but they were still charming.”

[masquerade]

Sam Merlotte.

Give him time, he is still getting over Godric's death. He will date in time.

 

[LUXXX]

Who do they feature from Mad Men?

 

[nyc_art_style]

I almost feel like Anna is an odd choice for Nylon. I want to say she's too mature for Nylon.

[nyc_art_style]

Nylon made a good choice by placing Anna on the cover and then they ruin it by placing all these Hills stars in the contents.

 

[KateIsGr8]

Who do they feature from Mad Men?

Christina Hendricks & Vincent Kartheiser

That shoot with Audrina is not featured in this issue

There is a short article/interview with Kristin Cavallari called "Faux Real" haha, a shoot with Alexa Chung dressed as past vjs from MTV, a feature called Camera Shy with behind-the-scenes people of well-known tv shows, of course the feature with Anna Paquin called Heart of Darkness, and Jessica Szohr of Gossip Girl in an editorial called Bohemian Rhapsody. There are also a lot of shows' characters shown in a feature called "The Revolution Will Be Televised" and if anyone wants to know who is all included in this, just ask

Does Nylon's tv issue any good btw?

I always like the TV best out of all the theme issues. It's always got alot of info about the upcoming and returning shows and not everyone is dressed like a typical Nylon hipster for once.

Nylon actually has done something I'm interested in. Wow. Shocking!
