Most of us remember Anna Paquin as an 11-year-old receiving the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her work in The Piano.

But look at her now!

That’s Paquin on the cover of Boston Common magazine. The inside photos show what a stunner this 25-year-old has become.

She tells the magazine we don't ever have to worry about her pulling any shenanigans à la another 25-year-old like Britney Spears.

“Showing up at work and actually being prepared and feeling confident is the best buzz you can get,” says Paquin, who stars in Six Feet Under producer Alan Ball’s new HBO series, True Blood. “I don’t need to be seen at some fancy club until four in the morning—that’s not where my priorities are. Sure, it’s fun to hang out with your friends when you’re not working, but when I’m working, that’s where my head is.”

But Paquin would like some more action—in her movies, that is.

“Well, I would have liked to do more action in the comic-based action film, which I got absolutely none of,” she says of her role as Rogue in the X-Men movies. “I got all the dialogue scenes in the movie...Doing an action film where you get to kick or punch somebody, now that’s different!”
