Cover controversy? Naked ambition doesn't cut it
Stars naked on covers may sell magazines, but can it still stir up controversy? Not likely.
As if 'True Blood' couldn't get any hotter – or more perverse – the show's stars Alexander Skarsgard, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer grace the cover of Rolling Stone wearing nothing but spatters of blood.
In the cover photo, Paquin stands between the show's two brooding actors, with her leg strategically placed over Skarsgard's frontside and her breasts covered by the hand of Moyer, her real-life fiance. Much like the cover art, 'True Blood' exudes sex and explores the primal instinct vampires have toward humans. A raw emotion that is a distinct difference from the celibacy-promoting vampires in 'Twilight.'
Moyer, who plays undead southern Civil War veteran Bill Compton, views the sexual nature of vampires as quite erotic, saying, 'If we go from a base level, vampires create a hole in the neck where there wasn't one before. It's a de-virginization - breaking the hymen, creating blood and then drinking the virginal blood,' he says. 'And there's something sharp, the fang, which is probing and penetrating and moving into it. So that's pretty sexy. I think that makes vampires attractive.'
