Anna Paquin in Self
Pamela Hanson
It took being cast as Sookie Stackhouse in the HBO hit True Blood to "feel comfortable wearing very little" – and do it everyday!
"After I was cast and realized my body would be exposed all the time, I went out and bought some shorts – I owned none! – to help me get used to it," the actress tells Self magazine in the July issue, on newsstands June 23. "It's liberating!"
So much so, in fact, that Paquin, who turns 27 next month, has adapted to a new daily uniform of shorts and a T-shirt. For Self, she looks pretty at home in a belly-baring ensemble on the beach – barefoot, of course!
