A couple that boxes together, stays together?
At least, according to True Blood’s Stephen Moyer – the brooding Brit who plays Southern vampire Bill Compton and throws punches with costar and real-life love Anna Paquin.
“When I was a boy I loved boxing,” he tells Access DirecTV magazine in its July issue of his off-screen pastime. “And I’ve got Anna into it.”
Of their love for the brutal hobby, Moyer adds, “I like the sport and she likes the blood. I’m like, ‘Stop the fight, people are getting hurt, I can’t bear it!’ and she’s going, ‘Go on, hit ‘em!’ She loves it. She boxes too.”
But can chivalrous vampire Bill beat telepathic cutie Sookie in the ring?
“No way!” he says. “She won’t stop until she’s gnawed your stumps off. I tell you, my girl is hardcore.”

I would like to see them boxing together. That would be fun, lol!
Can anyone make out what it says on his pic?? It makes me think that there’s more

Good gawd, I want to lick that picture. Would it be wrong to get DirecTV just to have access to a copy of this magazine? Damn, I’d do it.
Sanna, this is all I can make out: “The thought of something sharp piercing virginal flesh and the blood that comes from that wound is sexy.”

First, I wonder do they ever stop laughing in their home.
Thank you Stephen for understanding what real beauty is.
Anna is kick a*: The perfect woman is tough enough to box with her lover until he’s tired and bloody then, become as beautiful as a princess and walk down the red carpet with him. This keeps getting better and better!

It’s really good they share the same likes and dislikes. Give’m hell Anna and kick some a**! I’d like to see her with a pair of boxing gloves on going at someone. Sookie will need all that muscle this season!

I love that photo. I have been a boxing fan for some time. I am just an observer. I hearby decree he is not allowed to box, for fear of disfiguring his beauitful face.

I just love hearing that they box together! So cute….
I envision their bedroom tricked out with a punching bag, a recently installed pole (you know the type I mean ;) and, of course, the oscar and globe sitting on the counter.

LOL yea I also noticed him eyeing the pole. He definitely looked like he was thinking about where it might fit in their house. A little boxing, a little pole dancing, and a little wrestling under the sheets. o.O ooooh kinky!
