9 celebrity couples whose on-screen relationships spilled over into reality

Anna Paquin is a talented actress of New Zealand origin. She was born in Winnipeg, Canada on July 24, 1982. In total, the Paquin couple had three children: first-born Andrew (1977), then daughter Katya (1980), and finally Anna. Anna's parents moved to Canada from New Zealand and then returned when their youngest daughter was four years old. Since childhood, the girl showed remarkable talents and had many different hobbies. She played three musical instruments, attended swimming, gymnastics and even ballet. I enjoyed skiing and at the same time learned French. At that time, Anna was not thinking about a career as a movie star.

How it all began

The casting for the role of a little girl in the film “The Piano” interested not Anna at all, but her sister. Anna just kept her company. She was interested in how such selections were carried out. You can imagine her surprise when she passed the casting herself. Subsequently, in an interview, the film's director Jane Campion called the girl a young talent with incredibly developed artistry. Jane told how she almost fell out of her chair when little Anna began to tell some crazy story with a serious look at the audition. And everyone listened and believed her.

The role that Anna received in the film “The Piano” was the role of a girl named Flora, who constantly had to “voice” her speechless mother to others, pronounce her thoughts and wishes. This role is a supporting one, but it had a lot of text and serious acting.

Having no acting education or stage experience, nine-year-old Anna coped with her role brilliantly. Therefore, it is not surprising that two years later Anna received an Oscar statuette for her role as Flora.

She was recognized as best supporting actress. Apparently, this was incredibly exciting for the girl, because, having gone up on stage to receive the prize, she was not immediately able to cope with her excitement, and then blurted out words of gratitude and simply ran away.

1993-1999: Early success

Paquin became an actress completely by accident. Director Jane Campion was looking for a little girl to play a key role in the drama The Piano. Anna and her sister went to the casting, which they read about in the newspaper. Campion was very impressed with the girl, and Paquin was chosen from 5,000 applicants for the role of Flora McGrath.

Jane Campion on Anna's audition for the role of Flora:

“I almost fell out of my chair when she started.
She told a long, incredibly passionate story about how Ada lost her voice, and you completely believe her. It's rare to find someone so young and with such acting ability." Original text
(English)

“I almost fell off my chair when she began. She told this long, incredible passionate story about how Ada lost her voice, and you totally believed her. It is rare to find someone so young with such an instinct for performance.”

Filming of the film “The Piano” began in 1992. Anna's partners on the set were Harvey Keitel and Holly Hunter. Flora's role in the film contained the most text, since according to the plot she had to provide contact for her mute mother with the outside world. To film this film, Anna had to learn to speak with a Scottish accent. Anna’s performance in this role received rave reviews and critical acclaim; the film “The Piano” was awarded three Oscar awards, including in the category “Best Supporting Actress.” For everyone, and above all for Anna herself, receiving the award came as a big surprise. At the award ceremony, having received a statuette, an eleven-year-old girl was confused and was able to make a speech only after 20 seconds.

Anna did not plan to continue her career as a film actress, but she was invited to new film roles, which she refused. However, she signed a contract with the prestigious William Morris Agency

Immediately after this work, in the same year, she showed herself in the film “Fly Home.” This is a very touching film in which the young actress plays the role of a teenage girl who gets into an accident with her mother.

"Fly home"

The mother dies, and her father, whom she has not seen since she was three, comes to pick up her daughter. A girl who has lost her mother begins to take care of the orphaned goslings and through this gains mutual understanding with her father. For this role, Anna was nominated for two nominations at once.

When the girl was twelve, her parents divorced. Anna stayed with her mother, and four years later they went to live in Los Angeles. Young Paquin started studying at school there. Before graduating from school, Anna starred in several more films, and worked in the dubbing of the feature film “Laputa Castle in the Sky” directed by Miyazaki, produced by the Disney studio. And after graduation, the girl continued her successful path as a film actress.

Filming was difficult for Anna, because for the sake of it she had to make long flights, sometimes even change hemispheres. And besides, the girl wanted to continue her education at the university. She did not consider working in cinema to be her life's work, and in 2000 she entered Columbia University.

Anna studied for only a year. Then the next shooting began again. Anna carefully selected the roles offered to her, agreeing only to those that she considered truly worthwhile.

One of the interesting works in which the actress took part along with such stars as Halle Berry, Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones is “X-Men”. Anna received the role of Rogue and participated in all three parts. Between filming X-Men, the young actress worked on other film projects, studied ballet at the same time, and even tried herself as an executive producer.

Anna Paquin in childhood

The Paquins raised three children, the youngest of whom was the future actress. As a child, the girl was interested in music and sports. An acting career was not part of Anna's plans, and she did not dream of spotlights and television cameras. But while still a schoolgirl, she learned to play the viola, cello and piano.

Sports interests also turned out to be extensive. Gymnastics, swimming, alpine skiing - this is not a complete list of training sessions that Anna attended. Plasticity and flexibility, in addition to gymnastics, were useful in ballet, which the schoolgirl was also interested in.

Anna Paquin in her youth

In 1995, Paquin's parents separated, and the young New Zealander moved with her mother to Los Angeles, where she graduated from high school. Having received a certificate in 2000, the girl entered Columbia University, but spent only a year there. By that time, the student was already actively acting in films and there was a catastrophic lack of time for study. Anna chose a career as an actress, so she took a sabbatical leave without completing her education.

Path to success

In total, the actress’s filmography includes more than 40 works. Among them there are both main roles and supporting roles. The girl does not have a single stage role; she plays with equal interest in both comedy horror films (“Trick or Treat”) and dramas (“Braveheart of Irena Sendler”).

Personal life of Anna Paquin

In her next project, the TV series True Blood, Anna played an “ordinary” waitress who becomes closely acquainted with an “unusual” vampire. Feelings flare up between them, and immediately a lot of problems arise from the “evil” people around them. Participation in the series brought Anna a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series.

The actress's colleague, the same vampire, was Stephen Moyer (date of birth - October 11, 1969). It’s hard to say whether these cinematic feelings were transferred to the actors in real life, or, conversely, the budding romance allowed the couple to play love so vividly in the series.

Be that as it may, they got engaged in 2009 during the filming of True Blood, and got married a year later - in 2010. The ceremony took place on August 21 at a luxurious residence in Malibu. The successful couple exchanged vows on a quiet beach, in a snow-white tent, surrounded by distinguished guests. Despite previous other relationships and Stephen's two premarital children, this is the first marriage for each of the newlyweds.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively

It would seem that the whole world has heard about this couple, and not only because the guys are perfect for each other, but also because of the scandalous situation caused by their romance. The history of this family dates back to 2010 on the set of the famous film “Green Lantern”. The actors could not start a relationship due to the fact that Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson. Ryan was able to freely talk about his feelings for Blake only 2 months after the divorce, which attracted a lot of attention from the press. In 2012, the couple legalized their relationship and are still happy today, raising two children.
