‘True Blood’ star Stephen ooyer was concerned that a simple slip off a roadside curb in Italy would impact negatively on his acting career. The British actor, who is married to Kiwi co-star Anna Paquin, injured himself while on holiday recently. “I injured my ankle while stepping off a curb. It was scary because you think, ‘Everything’s going to stop, I won’t be able to earn a living,'” Stephen explains. “If you’re doing an acting job you have to sign a contract to say you won’t ski, ride horses or bungee jump in case you injure yourself – but I was just stepping off a curb.” Luckily the injury has not stopped his burgeoning career, although Stephen is still adjusting to his new status as a well-known Hollywood face. “Being famous feels like walking into a party you weren’t invited to. Sometimes I stand in a place surrounded by people I grew up watching in films I and I think, ‘How did I get in?'”
