'True Blood' Star Joe Manganiello on Hookin' Up with Sookie
Actor Joe Manganiello, who plays werewolf Alcide Herveaux on the hit HBO show "True Blood," talked with "Extra's" Adrianna Costa about the upcoming Season 4 -- including whether or not Alcide does the deed with Sookie (Anna Paquin).
"Well, I can say that in the season finale of Season 3, Alcide made a pass at Sookie, and we'll definitely pick up where that left off," teased Manganiello at the Ford Mustang Boss Workshop, where the actor mentors boys with Type 1 diabetes.
Was it weird to do love scenes with Paquin while her real-life husband, Stephen Moyer (who plays vampire Bill Compton), was on the set? Joe laughed, "I can't say, because if I answered that question I'd be giving away whether or not we hooked up."
The hunky actor can say he is excited about marrying his real-life girlfriend, actress Audra Marie, to whom he proposed last year. Manganiello said he was totally involved in picking out the engagement ring. "I made it, I helped design it. It's one of a kind."
"True Blood" premieres Sunday, June 26 on HBO.
