Anna Paquin’s no wimp

Anna Paquin was only eleven when she won an Oscar for her performance in “The Piano.” Since then, she’s defined her career by playing sweet, innocent and sometimes slightly standoffish characters. But her latest role as Sookie Stackhouse in HBO’s vampire soap opera, “True Blood” has her getting down and dirty with some nasty bloodsuckers. People Magazine reported that Anna stays fit and in fighting shape with a combination of exercises.
Several times a week, the actress does one to two hour-long sweat sessions combining boxing, plyometrics (exercises including bounding and jumping) and weight work with longtime trainer Clay Burwell at his High Performance Gym in New York City. “She punches hard!” he says. “And she has a mean left hook.” [Source]
