- "Extra's" Terri Seymour was with "True Blood" stars Anna Paquin (Sookie) and Stephen Moyer (Bill) on the red carpet at the LA premiere of the final season. The two chatted about saying goodbye to their characters and their plans for after the show ends.

In one of her interviews she was saying how her New Zealand accent comes out when she's around Stephen or people with British accents.
Yeah I was wondering what her accent was because I've heard speak with multiple accents lol
the interviewers voice sounds like finger nails scratching down a chalk board
wonder what the kids will sound like with their mom having a different accent from their dad lol its cute
+Lynzei Smith it depends where they'll grow up
They are not American's? Wow didn't know that. I think they make such a cute couple. So sad the show has ended :(
With Anna's accent, there's a mix present and it's often not consciously done. Studies over the years have shown that,
1. If you are bilingual and speak 2 different languages until about 3-5, years old, it becomes easier to learn other languages later on.
2. In terms of accents/ dialects generally, if you're living somewhere up until say 12-14years old, the accent you have at that time, will usually be the one that you have for life.
In Anna's case, it's a little complicated, because although she was born in Canada, the family moved to New Zealand when she was still a baby. So technically that's her natural, default setting. HOWEVER, because she had been acting since age 10, mainly working with American people filming there, and later moving to America, as a teenager her accent became a bit of a blend.
Factor in she's now been with Stephen who is British, for about 17years, she has picked up some of his mannerisms and pronunciation.
I find it cute. They both live in LA though I think, so she sounds more american during interviews and of course films/tv shows. Add, that both had to use a Southern accent for Trueblood, I think they did pretty well! Especially when you have an international cast (similar to HBO's other biggest show, Game of Thrones), with 1) Ryan as Jason who is Aussie,
2)Alex who is Swedish,
3)Allen who played Godric was Danish, 4)Rutger who played Niall was German, and 5)Denis, as the infamous Russell Edgington, who would slip into a tiny hint of German when annoyed, acting choice, I think.
6), Rob as Warlow, speaking in a Southern accent when he was Fae, reverting back to his native English when he was vampire. There's a whole bunch of non southerners too.
If anybody who obsessively loved the show, there's an official HBO, TRUEBLOOD podcast, with Janina (Luna), Deb (as the gorgeous baby /teen vamp Jessica), and Kristin (Pam), who's the complete opposite of her character. They've covered seasons 1 and 2, are into 3 and will be doing 4 and it's halfway talking about themes and BTS, and interviews with cast, directors, writers, musicians, HMW...
I'm gonna go before this essay gets longer. Sorry about that...
Incredible info. Thanks for sharing ❤
They're coming to New Zealand !! 😱
She's not Australian. She was born in Canada and grew up in New Zealand.
Wow. . Who knew she had an accent? I could have sworn in other interviews she didn't have an accent...
She will always have a kiwi accent. She mimics the American accent when needs to.
her accent is thicker in some interviews than others..i forget she has one sometimes
I feel like she doesn't make a point to "change" her accent depending on her mood. Some people just do that if you're around people that speak differently than you for long periods of time. I went to a school with a lot of people from Chicago and really picked up on that by accident. Now a few years later I find myself sneaking in an occasional southern drawl that I picked up from my boyfriend who's from Georgia.
stephen❤
That is the most Kiwi I've ever heard her in interviews
Anna Paquin must be bi-dialectal like Gillian Anderson and can slip between “accents” easily.o
sad when peope mistakes kiwi accent for a Australian one completely different
sookie will previal!!
well that was cute
Is Anna using her accent bc she's around others.I have heard her in 8nterviews WITHOUT it.😮
Her accent always sounds like this.
She's a New Zealander right?
Yes
Laura Voyce and Canadian
Anna, gurl. Love ya more than my hair color, but that accent ain’t New Zealand, Canada or US. Waddup, hon? 😂
Personally just find it weird how in all of her other interviews she does not sound anything like this... and NOW suddenly her accent changes.... it's creeping me out..
I agree
I'm from Liverpool in the UK which has a strong accent. Moved when I was 9. As soon as I'm around Liverpool people I get an accent back. My accent changes entirely and I don't even mean it! You'd know this if you'd moved a lot. It's normal :).
Gillian Anderson is the same, she can go back and forth sounding American or British effortlessly (bidialectal)
i can't stand terri's voice.
She's trying to sound like Stephen Lol she's so obsessed with him even the way she looks at him
I don't think it's that. I think it's one if those things when your around someone for so long and you can't help but adapt to there accent!! 😄
Diana Chen and grew up in New Zealand which has a more similar accent to England than the US if it's a mild accent.
why does she always change her accent? it's embarrassing.
She was actually born in Canada and if you watch earlier interviews (first couple seasons of true blood) she did not talk with whatever accent she is putting on now.
Diana Chen
She doesn't spend most of her life in New Zealand. She only lived there until she was 12. Then, shortly after her Oscar win for THE PIANO, she and her mother relocated to the USA, where she finished growing up, finished high school and attended some college (Columbia University in NYC). She has lived in the US ever since and has resided specifically in Venice, California, during her relationship/marriage to Moyer (7 years). She's 33 now and has lived in the US for most of her life (21 years).
STEPHEN MOYER IS SO UNATTRACTIVE. I MEAN, ANNA HAD THE HOTTEST MEN TO CHOOSE FROM ON THAT SET - RYAN KWANTEN, ALEXANDER SKARSGARD AND JOE MANGANELLO (YUM!) AND SHE CHOSE STEPHEN? BARF.
2Bdiscovered WOW shallow much smh
I would choose him too, there is just something about him....
@@firstlady1580 Like A playfulness in his personality?
I think he's lovely.So easy going.
Lol he was her first love interest. If maybe it was the other guys, she would have picked him. If it were me, i would have picked the Swedish guy❤️
