Since you all were such good sports regarding our recent S6 Bill post, we figured that we’d share this photo. It’s a rather special outtake from the Matthew Rolston photo shoot for Rolling Stone magazine. From the looks of things, Anna, Steve, and Alex were having a pretty good time!
We can’t help but wonder if Steve grabbing his nipple may have given the photographer the idea to have them strip for what was to become the infamous cover shot. Is anyone else thinking that Anna’s pointing to herself, reminding us all that she’s the luckiest lady on the planet?




HA HA HA!
very cool ladies, thanks!

Stephen cracks me up, he’s always the one who stands out!

That’s too funny… they always look like they have so much fun together…
Oh to be a fly on the wall for any of these photo shoots or table reads or filming days… they could make a killing with a blooper reel
Thanks for sharing!!

I’m sure Stephen has caused that reaction from Alex (and plenty of other cast/crew) many, many times in their TB history!
We’ve seen Stephen be cheeky and a little naughty in some interviews, but “behind the scenes” I’m sure he’s just plain outrageous at times. Ah, to be a fly on the wall…

Sorry, posted too soon…Want to add a big thanks for the photo – it just made my day!

Oh that’s just priceless!
Steve just cracks me up every time. He must be an absolute riot to work with! I’ve wished so often that they’d include a DVD of outtakes. I’d pay extra for that!

Anna IS the luckiest lady on the planet…..the UNIVERSE even!!Btw, Stephen is a riot yet somehow manages to be mesmerisingly (is that a word?)sexy while being so cheeky! I LOVE this man (BIG SIGH)
Thank you SM for this fabulous pic.

I believe Anna did say once that since she’s met Stephen, she wouldn’t settle for anyone without a sense of humor, I bet he keeps her in stitches! Oh yes and thank you ladies for continually entertaining us with Stephen’s hunkiness and his
hilarious humor!

I love this threesome. Anna seems a little reserved and glum at times, but I have never when she is in the company of these two cut-ups. By their own admissions they are good friends who enjoy each other’s company. How delightful it must be to work with people you respect and enjoy. Like many of you I would love to be a fly on the wall at a table read or photo shoot with these three.
When True Blood shoots its final episode, I have no doubt that their friendship will continue. I wish them all well and look forward to Steve’s episode come season 6.

I adore this photo! Its the spontaneous ones that are among the best.
Only Stephen can melt my panties and make me laugh all at the same time.
Ill call this one “The Look and the Nipple”!

It’s such a great foto! And I can’t stop laughing about ” the look and the nipple “! I’m sure you all know the story about this shooting and what they asked themselves on their ways home, standing with both cars on a red traffic light!
They have a real great friendship and I admire that. Thanks for this photo! I can’t decide which look at this foto is the greatest. To see artists like this is always loveable when they show their feelings the fotograf.

It’s not very often… well, I guess not ever would be more accurate, but I digress….
What I mean to say is that never before in my life have I envied a body part, much less wished I was one!
Tell hell with fly on the wall… I just want to be Stephen’s nipple!
I’ve been begging for a blooper real since the show first began! I can hardly imagine how hilarious it would be and the picture above is but a small example of how insane bloopers must be on the TB set!
And as to Anna, I can imagine that she was saying something along the lines of, “Do you see what I have to put up with, with these two?!
Yeah… that was a sandwich I would have enjoyed tremendously, nipple pinching not withstanding!
*sigh* Why wasn’t I born Anna Paquin? I guess because the gods are indeed fickle! LOL! I just know that from now, until who knows when, any mention of a nipple in any way will bring this photo front and center in the twisty oddness that is my brain!
**double sigh** Now I have to try and sleep. Maybe I can try to fall asleep by counting nipples….
LOL!
