Anna Paquin Covering Self Magazine in Sexy Bikini
The leading actress of "True Blood", Anna Paquin, is seen flaunting her body when she covers Self Magazine's July edition. Photographed on a beach, the 26-year-old star proudly shows off her figure in sexy blue bikini when she leans on a surfboard.

Then, in another shot, Paquin is seen sitting on sands of the beach. She is snapped smiling when looking at the sky. In the pic, she wears a yellow shirt matched with blue shorts.

Starring as mind-reading Sookie Stackhouse on "True Blood", Anna Paquin reveals that she has to adjust herself to wear skimpy outfits. "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," she says in an interview with Self Magazine.

"You stop thinking, Do I look weird at this angle?" she continues. "I've learned to feel very comfortable wearing very little. It's liberating!"
