ANNA Paquin says she can understand the current obsession with vampires.

Anna — who plays Sookie Stackhouse in the hit TV show True Blood — says girls love a man who knows what he is doing — and vampires fill that role perfectly.

“Girls like them because they’re sexy and dangerous and always really hot,” she says. “They’ve been around a long time — they probably know what they’re doing when it comes to that sort of thing.”

Paquin, 27, recently revealed that she loved going blonde for her role in True Blood.

“Boys like to stare at blonde girls – that’s totally true,” she said. “So it’s amusing and quite lovely. Boys like blonde girls, who knew? Maybe that’s why I’m not changing it back between seasons.

“I’m really enjoying it. The hair was a huge part of becoming this character – the whole blonde thing and the tan thing. When they first cast me I was a pasty brunette from New Zealand, and now I’m a Southern blonde.”
