Stephen Moyer Would Love To Film A Gay Sex Scene With Alex Skarsgard

True Blood's Stephen Moyer told The Advocate that he's more than happy to film a gay sex scene with his co-star Alexander Skarsgard. Moyer plays vampire Bill Compton in the HBO supernatural series. Compton's adversary on the show is vampire Eric Northman played by Skarsgard. Both the characters fights for the love of Sookie Stackhouse, played by openly bisexual Anna Paquin, Moyer's real life wife.

Excerpt from his interview with The Advocate.

There has been criticism that True Blood has alienated some viewers because it’s become “too gay.” What’s your response?

Is there such a thing as too gay? We live in a very different world than we grew up in, so if people can’t embrace that aspect of our show, then that’s a shame. I certainly don’t think it’s specifically gay, but our show ticks a lot of boxes for a lot of people. We have an incredibly broad audience, one of the widest demographics in terms of sexuality and age groups, so obviously we’re doing something right. 

You’ve gotten in on the action with a fantasy sequence involving you and Sam Trammell. Was that a challenging scene? 

Not at all. We had an awful lot of fun that day, and I happen to think Sam’s a very good-looking man. We also had a lot of fun lighting the scene with our shirtless stand-ins, Nate and Lenny. [Laughs] Not that that particular scene was a challenge, but anything that seems like it could be a challenge in the script is just meat for an actor. So I looked at that scene like, Oh, my God, that’s fantastic. I can’t wait to do that! 

Sam’s sex dream and your imminent kiss were cut short by Sam’s phone ringing. Like many home viewers, do you secretly wish it had gone off just a little later than it did?   

[Laughs] I think we’ve all had times where the alarm’s gone off or the phone’s rung earlier than you wanted it to. 

Speaking of sexual tension, when will Bill and his adversary Eric just get it over with already and have angry vampire sex? 

I’ve been asking myself that question for a long time. Alex and I would absolutely embrace that. Last year, when Sookie had her fantasy about the two of them with her, we even suggested it. Of course, Bill and Eric together isn’t necessarily Sookie’s fantasy.
