From Self:

When Anna Paquin isn’t taking off her clothes on True Blood, she’s showing off her killer body in tight tops and short shorts. How does she shape up for her skin-baring role? She shared all the details in our July cover story!

At our cover shoot, the star swore genetics make her look like that, but admitted she works her butt off to stay in tip-top shape. That means swimming, running and boxing, Bar Method, Core Fusion and pilates classes, plus working out on the elliptical and stationary bike she keeps in her garage.

“Working out is about stamina,” she told us. “I’m physically challenged on set. I love that Sookie isn’t a teeny, tiny damsel in distress. She’s a tough, fit, kick-ass Southern girl who is equally as comfortable in a pretty floral print dress as she is beating the crap out of somebody.”

When it comes to her body, Paquin says, “I don’t know too many women who are 100 percent happy, but I’m the happiest I’ve been. For me, it has more to do with being fulfilled in other areas of life, not how many hours I’m at the gym. If you’re not happy in other areas of your life, you’re not going to be happy with the way you look.”
