When she's not chastising "Bill" or reigning in "Tara" on the hit HBO series, 'True Blood', "Sookie's" off-screen ego of Anna Paquin is a kid at heart.
Spotted off the coast of Los Angeles yesterday, Paquin picked up a boogie board and enjoyed the workout of the waves.
Sporting teeny-tiny board shorts and a coordinating blue bikini top, Anna showed off sleek biceps and a sexy mid-section via her sopping, wet white tank-top.
All smiles, the Academy Award-winning Paquin was more than likely taking an easy day on the surf. Pacquin is known for her vibrant enthusiasm for sport and is an avid surfer and cyclist.
With more than just another run of True Blood in the works, Anna Paquin has a wedding to work for also. The 27-year-old actress is engaged to co-star and on-screen love affair Stephen Moyer, who plays Sookie's boyfriend "Bill".
"It's just exciting, and that was there from day one," Moyer has said. "We always take the p--- out of each other and are silly with each other, and it is great. We're very, very happy. She's the best," Moyer says of Paquin.
Anna's character "Sookie" is hot with booth teenagers and adults alike. Online interviews with the star reveal the physical demands of the character and Anna's means of keeping up the pace. In an interview with TeenTelevision, Anna was asked if she had to workout to fit into the skimpy costume clothes on set. Anna responded first with a laugh.
"I've always been really active but come on, it becomes bikini season all year long. What girl would not spend a considerable amount of time making sure that, to the best of one's ability, you feel comfortable in your own skin?"
Anna adds, "I just work out, go to the gym. I run. I box. I do Pilates. I take dance class. I like doing stuff and I'm learning to skateboard which is actually a lot harder than it looks but it's fun!"
Quite the adventure maiden, Paquin is reportedly a dedicated fitness junkie. Working with longtime trainer Clay Burwell (shown left), Anna works out several times a week in one or two-hour long workout sessions. Paquin's trainer keeps her moving with boxing, plyometrics and weight training at his High Performance Gym in New York City.
For Paquin, a one-two punch is just part of the role call. Trainer Burwell says of her style, "She has a mean left hook.”

Comments
Love this picture of Anna. She is obviously enjoying herself and looks so naturally happy & exhilirated. But wait, do I see a ring on her left hand? Darling, please take your beautiful engagement ring off when you are recreating in the ocean or anywhere else. Think how heartbroken you would be to lose it, not to mention having to tell Stephen who put so much thought into it.
I'd frak her in the pooper
