‘True Blood’ Star Ryan Kwanten Talks About His Sex Symbol Status

rue Blood‘s Ryan Kwanten is featured on the June/July 2011 cover of DA Man looking deliciously cleaned-up and dapper. He talked to the mens magazine about our obsession with vampires and his sexy symbol status.

On vampires: “It was always a phenomenon that was hard to conceive, because it was never quite in the mainstream. Yet, these are the shows that brought all these fans together from what used to be considered as a cult, more of a minority, out into public view. And it has become pretty much a mainstream force. I think it’s now in the hands of the audience to demand the trend as it goes now, so I’m happy to be a part of a show like True Blood, which constantly lives up to the expectations of the audience.”

On being viewed as a sex symbol: “It’s hard to fully accept the title with complete and utter humility. It’s obviously not my goal to have this title, but if someone wants to give it, hey I’m all for it, you know. But, at the end of the day, I’m an actor and if that’s what comes out of it, that’s great; that’s more of a byproduct of something that I’m trying to achieve.”

Season four of True Blood premieres Sunday, June 26th on HBO.
