Anna Paquin And Stephen Moyer remembered an unpleasant torque with Joe Manganiello during a steamy one True blood Scene.
“Are we going to torture Joe again?” Paquin, 41, asked her husband in a TikTok shared by Entertainment tonight on Friday, April 12th.
Moyer, 54, agreed that they were “tormenting Joe Manganiello at that point” before the couple shared their experiences on the set of the HBO drama. Paquin and Moyer played the roles of Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton, respectively, on the series for seven seasons. Manganiello, 47, joined the cast in Season 3 as Alcide Herveaux. Moyer not only starred in the series, but also directed some episodes.
“Alcide and Sookie love each other,” Moyer recalled of a scene he directed. “The camera starts on Joe’s huge back. He was so torn, it was absurd.”
Moyer explained that due to Manganiello’s size, the camera took longer to film the scene as it had to cover more distance.
“It got so technical, you know. We still had to make it sexy,” he shared. “In front of our entire crew, I thought, ‘You’ve got to go for it, Joe.’ You have to grab the parts.’”
Paquin shared that she “repeatedly consented” during filming with Manganiello, who was constantly checking on her.
“He said, ‘Babe, is this OK?’ And I said, ‘Please just do it,'” she joked, to which Moyer laughed.
The actress shared that although she found it difficult to film some scenes, she was happy to take advice from her husband.
“They know every single aspect of a movie or TV show inside and out,” she said. “And that’s really hot.”
Paquin and Moyer began dating after meeting on the set of True blood, which ran from 2008 to 2014. The couple tied the knot in 2010 and welcomed their twin son and daughter two years later. Since True blood After it ended, Moyer and Paquin continued to work together on several projects, including their latest film A little light.
Last month, Moyer told exclusively Us weekly that he and Paquin work so well together on screen because “they know each other inside out.”
“There [are] A lot of times I’ll look over at her and she’ll just say, ‘I’m going back in,'” he shared. “She just knows there’s something she wants to recalibrate. And so I have the luxury of knowing that I can leave them to that because [she’s] very good at figuring out what she wants to change.”
