Ryan Kwanten Talks Saying Farewell to 'True Blood' in 'Bello'!

Ryan Kwanten Talks Saying Farewell to 'True Blood' in 'Bello'!

Ryan Kwanten shows off his muscles in a white tee on the cover of Bello magazine’s June 2014 issue, out on newsstands now!

Here’s what the 37-year-old Aussie actor had to share with the mag:

On being put in compromising situations on his show True Blood: “My very first day on set, season one, was such an in-your-face reveal of Jason. It was the scene where he’s having oral sex with Maudette Pickens (Danielle Sapia), and no joke, the first time you see him, he’s coming up from between her legs. That day, I sort of thought to myself, if I can get through this, anything else will be as easy as making a piece of toast.”

On his True Blood character: “I think Jason is almost like the moral compass of (the show). As ridiculous as some of the situations he gets himself into can be, everything comes from a place of reality with him. Jason is who he is, and if he’s funny, or naive, or just plain dumb, that’s (simply) his truth within that particular situation.”

On saying goodbye to True Blood: “I feel like I’ve sort of set myself up well beyond where I thought I would ever be, so it’s time to take stock of where I am, smell some roses, and eventually make a pretty selective next decision.”
