No one saw this coming! Anna Paquin, who plays a telepathic vampire lover on HBO's True Blood, has come out as bisexual.

Paquin, who's engaged to her True Blood costar Stephen Moyer, makes the announcement in a PSA video promoting the Give a Damn campaign, which features celebritiess speaking out for equality.

"I'm Anna Paquin. I'm bisexual and I give a damn," Paquin, 27, says on-camera during a private taping on Jan. 30 in Los Angeles. Sources said they were unaware beforehand that Paquin would make the announcement.

Others who were present at the taping included comedian Margaret Cho and singers Mya and Jason Mraz.

6. Anna Paquin, Oscar Winner

"The Piano"

It's hard to believe she's 27 years old.

7. She's managed to do well without falling into the pitfalls that happen to so many child actresses

She should be strung out on coke and have her face stretched to death like Lindsey Lohan.

Instead she's got a solid career, even won a Golden Globe for her role with "True Blood".

Not sure what her parents did but obviously they helped keep her grounded.

And visually the movie was stunning!

15. This is unfortunate because it doubles my pool of competition.

To say nothing of the fact that she's engaged.

She's pretty cute.
