“True Blood” stars Anna Paquin, 41, and Stephen Moyer, 54, met on HBO’s beloved fantasy horror drama (2008-2014) known for its graphic sex scenes.That made it a little, well, awkward once Moyer (vampire Bill Compton) began directing “True Blood” episodes — and filming sex scenes involving Paquin, who played telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse.But the married couple, who live in Manhattan, told The Post that they eventually got used to what could have been an extremely difficult situation.“Steve started directing me when we were on ‘True Blood,'” Paquin said. “And in Season 7, our final season, he directed the season opener, which had Sookie in love with the giant beautiful werewolf Joe Manganiello.“Steve directed us in a rather explicit sex scene,” she said, “so when you ask if it is awkward to shoot a movie with your husband, the bar for awkward is set terribly high in our household, not to mention on that show in general.“Stephen cut his teeth directing [on ‘True Blood’] and by Season 3 or 4, it would be like, ‘Hi honey, who are you f–king on camera today?'”“There was actually a day where we were walking from our trailers, Alex Skarsgard and Anna and another actor, and we were all working in dressing gowns going toward our stages,” Moyer said.
Nightclub reveller went on "knife rampage" killing one man and injuring four others
14.03.2024 - 18:51 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A nightclub reveller who went on a "knife rampage" leaving one man dead and four others injured has been convicted of murder.
Jake Hill, 25, stabbed five people in a matter of seconds outside the Eclipse nightclub in Bodmin, Cornwall, with a serrated hunting knife. He had joined a fight between 15 revellers outside the club shortly after 3am on April 30 last year, Truro Crown Court was told.
A disturbance broke out between groups of people in the street after the venue closed. Victims were either stabbed or slashed in the melee by Hill who had collected the blade from a nearby hedge where he had hidden it prior to entering the nightclub.
Michael Riddiough-Allen, 32, who was the fifth person to be stabbed, suffered a fatal wound to his abdomen and died at the scene.
Following a six-week trial, Hill, of Jubilee Terrace, Bodmin was found guilty of murder and also convicted of four counts of Section 18 wounding with intent. He was found not guilty of one count of Section 18 wounding with intent relating to a sixth person.
Chelsea Powell and Tia Taylor, who had also been inside the nightclub, had also stood trial alongside Hill accused of murder. Powell and Taylor both deliberately lied to frustrate the police in their investigation.
Hill was found hiding in the loft at Taylor's address following the stabbing - after she told officers nobody else was home. Powell, 22, of Granny's Green, Bodmin was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter. She was found guilty of perverting the course of justice.
