True Blood’s Theo Alexander on gay sex scene

True Blood’s Theo Alexander was initially scared to shoot the gay vampire sex scene, he said to Movie Line in an interview about the scene.

“I had been afraid of the scene from the very beginning — from the first moment that I held the script in my hand — but I’m glad I did it because every time you face your fears, you move forward.” Specifically what scared him was kissing another man. That man in this case was Alexander Skarsgard.

“I don’t really do that, so… I didn’t want to think of him as a woman. Many people told me, ‘Oh, just close your eyes and think of him as a woman.’ But no, because that is a totally different energy and I had to be very present with Alex and his male energy. I had to open myself to be able to actually be attracted to him, like, really attracted to him. At the end of the day, it was fun, though.”

He said that playing Talbot on the show made him realize there are “no rules” and “you should not care what people think.”

1. He was fantastic

and he was absolutely right that if he thought of Eric as a woman it would never have worked. Talbot was a great character and I will sorely miss him.

4. You know, up to that scene, he passed for gay. Flirty eyes and everything.

But in the skin scene, something was off. I didn't believe he was comfortable with it. Eric, on the other hand. I believe that man goes both ways. Don't know if he actually does, I'm just saying he was comfortable with it.

5. Eric has been amazing

but I also think Talbot did well in that scene. Eric, if he isn't bi, is emmy worthy.

Oh. My.
