I like the drama to stay on-screen."
To learn more about her incredible metamorphosis, here’s the stunning transformation of Anna Paquin.
For many actors, the love of the craft can develop at a young age.
Paquin, however, was an anomaly to this.
“I leaped on stage and then skipped off,” she said.
“I wanted to be prime minister of New Zealand for a while,” she stated.
“Then I wanted to be a lawyer.”
Her acting debut broke records
An actor’s breakout role is rarely also their acting debut.
For Anna Paquin, this was a feat that immediately drew her into the world of acting.
My father said if I was interested, I’d have to ring up myself.
…They needed to find girls who looked the right way," she told theLos Angeles Timesin 1994.
In a 2019 interview withThe Guardian, Paquin spoke about how shocked she was to win.
“I was just some kid from a small town in New Zealand.”
By 2000, Paquin would reach new heights of fame following her inclusion in “X-Men.”
Based on the popular Marvel comics, the 16-year-old portrayed Rogue, a super mutant with life absorbing abilities.
Her stint as Rogue wouldn’t last forever.
There, the actress attempted to maintain a balance between acting and school.
After a year, however, Paquin dropped out to focus on her career.
Despite this, Paquin toldThe New York Timesin 2011 that she was grateful for her short-lived college experience.
“I had a great time my year at college, don’t get me wrong.
No parents, no job.
“And also, it was not something that I was uncomfortable with.”
While Moyer declared that it was love at first sight, Paquin has since stated otherwise.
From first meeting during a screen test for the show, they began secretly dating in 2008.
… We didn’t want to take anything away from the show,” he stated.
“It’s a pretty sweet setup.”
In 2012, Paquin informed Zooey magazine about the matter (viaHuffPost).
It’s not made up.
It’s not a lack of decision."
In a 2021 interview withSiriusXM, Paquin seemingly has no regrets about coming out in the 2010 campaign.
“I felt like it was being my authentic self.
While Moyer had two children from his previous relationship, the actor was seemingly excited for this new journey.
It took a harmless mistake by Moyer in an E!
News interview for the public to even learn their names.
There are other things, however, that she intends to keep private.
“You won’t find any pictures of my children.
That’s a choice we made very specifically,” she said.
“I want the right to say that they’re not fair game.”
“It would be nice to do something that my kids can actually see.
There will be some stuff that they will never see.”
Eventually, Paquin’s creative curiosity allowed her to transition to working as a producer on various films.
“Nope, nobody was doing any ‘ordering,'” she responded.
“Passivity and ‘good intentions’ change nothing.”
