Stephen Moyer Wants to Be One of Those 'Grizzly Old' Actors


Stephen Moyer Wants to Be One of Those 'Grizzly Old' Actors:Stephen Moyer was recently left star struck when he met his idol, actor Jeff Bridges, because he wants a showbiz career just like his.

When asked who he admires, Stephen replied: “Jeff Bridges, Clint Eastwood and Tom Waits -- grizzly old f***ers. I met Jeff Bridges at a movie convention. I said, ‘Oh my God, I love you so much!’ and he said, ‘And I love you.’ He can’t have had a clue who I was.”

Despite becoming an A-list star through appearing in True Blood, Stephen -- who is married to his co-star Anna Paquin -- still has to deal with the same sort of problems as anyone else. One example: Wrong number phone calls.

He added: “My mobile phone number is almost identical to that of a party supplies company in Venice, Los Angeles, so I get phone calls asking me for things like balloon helium.”

However, the actor is hopeful the company will eventually go out of business and he will have no need to change his number.

He told Britain’s Marie Claire magazine: “I’ve lived here for five years, it’s my number! It’s funny because I also know when the company’s not doing very well -- occasionally I get calls from the bank.”

"True Blood" Stars Engaged


It appears that that the deep love displayed on HBO's hit show, True Blood, is no act. Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse) and Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton) confirmed to People that they are engaged. The co-stars met on set and have been dating since early this year. Moyer has children from previous relationships; Billy, 9 years old, and Lilac, 7.

Paquin told AOL Television, "Obviously, if you're already with that person then you're not having to sort of get over the 'Wow, I'm naked with someone that I don't even know the middle name of. I think that regardless of what kind of scene you're doing, the better you know the person you're working with and the more comfortable you are with them, the more open and real your performance can be. And that goes for stunt scenes and heavy emotional scenes and sex scenes. OK, so I have a little bit of a leg up in that particular area with my on-screen [partner]."
