In a photo shoot for Self’s July issue, Anna Paquin, who won a Golden Globe for her portrayal as vampire lover/mind reader Sookie Stackhouse, reveals how she beats the heat: skimpy bikinis and short-shorts.
“After I was cast and I 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,” Anna Paquin reveals.
