True Blood’s Stephen Moyer Calls Out RPattz
Jun 25, 2009 at 8:00am
The Twilight vs. True Blood debate is finally heating up!
In a new interview with Marie Claire, True Blood‘s resident vampire Stephen Moyer (who plays Bill Compton) has some choice words for New Moon bloodsucker Rob Pattinson.
“He’s a p***y! He’s the Slim-Fast, Diet Coke of vampires.”
Umm…does he know who he is messing with?
Twilight-ers, what do you have to say about this? Leave your thoughts in the comments!




























True Blood is an amazing show.
Twilight sucks period, and is for kids who cannot stand to read real books.
True Blood kicks Twilight’s ass. period.
ATTENTION TWILIGHTERS!
Im a hige fan of Twilight AND True Blood but you all must realise that True Blood was out BEFORE Twilight. True Blood is based off of the Charlaine Harris Southern Vampire series which was out in 2000 I think, Twilight came out in 2003. True Blood was filmed in 2007 and on TV September 2008, Twilight was filmed in 2008 and released November 2008. Everything about True Blood/Southern Vampire Series was before Twilight. ATwilighters who cant accept this please go get a grip of yourself. I would also like to mention that Stephen wasnt making a comment about Robert, he was calling Edward a pussy. Therefor everyone saying “hes jealous because he isnt as famous/good looking/talented as Rob” also have to get a grip because you are all speaking a loar of crap.
Vampire Bill should be more worried about his “southern accent” than he is about Twilight. It is the worst southern accent I have EVER heard. OMG! I don’t think the actors from True Blood are very mature if they are constantly trying to get media attention by making fun of Twilight’s vampires, especially Edward. I am a teacher; and it reminds me of 5th graders!
Opinions are like…well….you know. Go gripe about it to someone who cares.
[quote=tatts09]screw him..he is just jealous coz robert pattinson has been voted the hottest men alive and he’s DATING kristen stewart..while bill the loser tv star is anna PENGUIN..[/quote]
trueblood is completely different it has nuthin to do with the twilight vamps. Its a mature show and a great one at that! the twilighters should learn to spell!!! and ps i love both!!
GOD!
people here are fighting like bitches over a hairdryer.
really? are people really getting pissy over this? i like both shows and he was obviously just screwing around and if you’ve read the books the main focus of the stories are different, and bill compton is a lot more violent and brutal than edward cullen. doesn’t mean it’s better or worse just different, they are different characters, but most importantly they are both FICTIONAL characters….sheesh
“true blood” is boring. :D c’moon, they dont even look like a vampires. “oh, i’ve got vampire-teeth, i’m a vampire. *blahblahblah.*” stephen moyer is mean & jealous. :D stfu.
and twilight has werewolves. :DD

Actually Twilight has Shape Shifters, just like True Blood does. I fyou read the book you would actually know that Jacob isnt a werewolf. Ok, how exactly do the True Blood vampires not look like vampires?
He can go to helllllll …. where he belongs
this guy DEFINITELY does not know who he’s messing with. or WHAT he’s messing with. PUH-LEASE edward will not be compared to this random vampire dude. edwards too awesome and we will not let him be dissed!!!! especially in that way!! i mean come on ppl this is edward. he’s soooo rude
[quote=Mary]You two must be 12 yr olds….True Blood is a great show. It is also very unique and even has some similarities to twilight( and it came first for your info). this quote is old and he said it in jest. so, claws down kittens. Also, I’m sure he could care less who Robert is dating so that point is stupid.[/quote]
I’m sorry I do belive Twilight Came out in 2005!! If you look at the show it is just a chezzy Twilight wanna be! The girl can read minds dates a vamp and he can shape shift chezzy and the show came out about the same time as Twilight I watched the primere(and never watched it agian!) and after I did I rember screaming at the TV when a Twilight tralior came on when I changed the Channel that you very much, I do belive if you say something, know what your saying.
[quote=Randy]True Blood is on after their bedtimes so I dont expect them to like it. Kristen Stewart looks like every girl ive ever met.[/quote]
She’s suposed to dumbass.
(no offince, read the book and the movie description, “An AVRADGE girl falls in love…” yeah)
Please Edward Cullen could whop his dumb ass ‘wolf’ thing. I mean for one he’s a hellll of alot sexier, and second the one on ‘True Blood’ is weak and affected by effin silver for god’s sake haha. So be careful cause you charcter might just get his ass kicked by a Drop-Dead-Gouges Edward Cullen, the well see whose the p***y! :)
[quote=karolina]true blood is more mature and it’s really great while twilight was made for the younger ages to be love.[/quote]
I see your point, but I must have to say, I myself and a true Twilight fan and will not tell you my age( I am above the age of a teenage ha) But one of my co-workers is 63 years old and is a true die-hard-twi-hard you should see her office, and she is not the only one my sister in law is 32 and she is as well and there are plenty more, but so is my 15 year old sister so I am just saying that you might wanna reconsider that, thankyou, I hope you understand what I am trying to tell you. :)

Yes but True Blood is based on The Southern Vampire Series which came out in 2000. So before YOU say something, know what your talking about. Geez, Twilight copied The southern Vampire Series. Get over it and get a grip of yourself.
Oh please people! Just because some of you are so obsessed with twilight that you can’t see past the fact that True Blood is a fantastice series as well as twilight, then I don’t know what to say. Really, Twilight and True Blood books were both fantastic and the movies and show are both fantastic, so get over yourselves! and it is an old quote and the true blood books did come first, so if anything is cliche it is twilight.
I would have to say that I’ve never watched True Blood, and never been interested in it. I’ve seen bits and pieces, and it seems extremely cheesy, like several people above have stated…VERY clearly. Edward struggles with the craving for humans while that dude just does whatever he feels…NO self control. I see Edward as a more noble and controlled character.
True Bloog actor is jealous obviously , twilights better

You Twihards REALLY need to learn how to spell. This makes me sad for the future of our country.
i like both whats the the big deal of one or the other. if i had to choose though it would be True blood. dont get me wrong i like twilight but True Blood is more adult to me and the vamps are way hotter i think. i dont think people should be arguing about the 2 or trying to compare them side by side both books and shows are opposites. i like things that sparkle like diamonds, but as all the stories go, vamps dont sparkle in sun they burn.
This is why I hate Twilight. (Besides the fact that it’s a poorly written piece of Horse vomit.) The fans are just… Ugh. Case in point. Quite a few of the comments here. Also. You people realize that Robert Pattinson thinks that the books suck and that Edward is a creepy stalker correct?
And True Blood is several years older than Twilight.
Wow. I’ll bet that he meant that as a joke and it wasn’t like he was talking about Robert. Since when was Robert a vampire? He’s not, he’s an actor, Edward is the vampire. And as far as I’m concerned that quote is pretty much true. Edward isn’t exactly an amazing character.
Fact to point out?
The Souther Vampire books (the series True Blood was based off of) came out years before Twilight, do some research before posting anything saying Twilight came first. So True Blood is not copying Twilight at all.
And if True Blood is considered cheesy I don’t even know the level Twilight as at. Vampires that sparkle? Really?
Ummm wow. Why are y’all takin this so seriously. everyone just needs to take a deep breath and calm down. we can tell that the twilight fans are gonna stick up for rob and the true blood fan are gonna stick up for stephen that is just how it goes. both are very good actors and everyone can see that so there is no reason to get so upset over someone you don’t know personally. just try to remember that people are going to have their opinions whether you like it or not so just deal! =]
I just want to point out that Twilight is a horrible, misogynistic series with more mormon propaganda and horrible writing than you could shake an adverb at. The story is unique in only the most superficial manners and, unlike True Blood, the characters are so nauseatingly bland that the only possible appeal they have is to serve as wish fulfilment and self-projection.
Stephanie Meyer sucks. And Robert P. looks like a pedophile.
Q.E.D
U True Blood Haters listen up!
U guys r just losers who have some sick fantasy that Rob Patz is actually Edward Cullen! True Blood is to hard core for your delicate little eyes so f*ck off! Have you ever even watched the show cause it’s effin’ amazing! I love twilight too but seriously true blood is just as good if not better! the twilight movie suxs but the book is amazing but with true blood the books are amazing and so is the tv show. So f*ck off true blood haters!
I have been a vampire fan all my life. I’ve seen/read good vampire stuff as well as crappy vampire stuff. Twilight and TrueBlood are two different beasts.
Twilight- is a ‘romantic’ coming-of-age story which women can relate to because every woman has pictured herself as Bella. It’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin. However as I read the Twilight (series) even I was annoyed with the PG-13 action and lack of physical romance. The cast is very talented.
TrueBlood is raw, exciting, visual and base. It appeals to our lust for blood, and all true vampire aspects. There are complex characters and the battle betweent hose who think they’re doing ‘good work’ and just outright fear. The cast is amazing and characters colorful. I can’t get enough of TrueBlood.
Those ‘fans’ who are belittleing either cast/vampire story need to grow up. There is more than enough to go around for everyone and guess what? BLOOD-SUCKING vampires do not exist! And honestly if I had to compare ‘scariness’ of the vamps: ie Bill Compton vs. Edward Cullen, I’d have to say Bill is a million times scarier. REALLY a vamp who sparkles like a disco ball just can’t be too frightning.
true blood is awesome and i am pretty sure he dosent care about r pratz i love twilight and true bloood i own every book for twilight and trueblood know them word by word i watch treblood on sunday at 8 and then twilight right after till i get sleepy they are both amazing and i couldnt live without them
I really enjoyed blood ties as a vampire show shame they only made 2 seasons. I haven’t watched True Blood i have seen Twilight and its a good film but prefered the books.
Cripple fight!
Hahaha! I can’t believe people debate about this sh*t. The correct answer is that BOTH stories suck.
[quote=sara]He’s not even talking about Rob, he’s talking about Edward Cullen. Why is everyone saying he’s “Calling Out RPattz” He didn’ say one word about Robert Pattinson THE ACTOR[/quote]
x2. I don’t get it. Twihards are freaking out that Twilight and SVM are similar, yet SVM book 1 was written in 1999 and published in 2001…. Long before Twilight was. *Shakes head* One is written for adults, one is in the young adult/tween section if you go to any book store. THEY ARE NOT EVEN FOR THE SAME AUDIENCE. They are not the same thing. Whilst I do agree, I don’t like the way vampires are portrayed in Twilight (glitter, really?), you have to look at it from the vampire mythology perspective in which it’s just all wrong….
Seriously, you inbred dimwits thinking True Blood is tacky and cheese and a bad rip off from Twillight are just plain retarded….
Southern Vampire Stories (which True Blood is based on) was released 2001, Twillight was released 2003……
Saying True Blood is cheesy is just amusing; f*cking VAMPIRES SPARKLING IN THE SUN….. WOLF BOY TAKING HIS SHIRT OF TO CLEAN BELLAS BLOOD FROM HER FOREHEAD…. EDWARD TAKING HIS SHIRT OF JUST SO YOU ELEVEN YEAR OLD INBRED DIPsh*t MORONS WOULD GET HORNY AND SHOUT.. OH LORD IM LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW
Damn, more twitards that are off their medication.
….and the defence mechanisms kick in once more, with their delusional excuse as to why X is better than Y.
So lets get some reality in here huh?
1) X being “hotter” than Y or “THE BESTESST!!!!!!!!!!!” isn`t a valid reason why one show/movie is better than another.
2) What the hell is the matter with the Twitards taking every perceived slight against the books/movie REALLY PERSONALLY?
3) A response of “JeaLOUS” isn`t valid either, as nobody really knows what either actor/actress wants/likes/loves. Once again the twitards are projecting thier own feelings onto someone else.
Protip : Twitards should use Firefox, it has a built in spell check, which will avoid you sounding like a 3 year old dyslexic retard. Unfortunately it can’t do anything about the over capitalisation though.
Twilight is a teenie bopper series which is why it is found in the young adult section while the true blood books are not.
I am a guy, and I enjoyed the Twilight movie, but the True Blood series is also addicting. True blood was out before twilight and they have simililarities which leads one to believe that Twilight stole some.
However both are good, just made for separate crowds. The teenie bopping twilight fanatics will not stand for their beloved Edward to be bashed! :P
[quote=Chantel]True Bloods did NOT come first you freaking idiot!!! Twilight (the books and the movie) came out WAY before “True Bloods” Which is the lamest show EVER! What a f***ing rip off of Twilight! How old is Steven Moyer anyways? He’s OLD and FUGLY! Obviously he’s jealous of Rob. I would be ashamed to if I was on a lame copy cat show. What a joke. I hope Steven gets hit by a car! OK maybe not literally, ok wait yes I do![/quote]
Ummm actually the true blood books were out way before the twilight books. The True Blood series came out in 2002-2003. Twilight came out in 2005.
[quote=Me]What we are witnessing here is a recently devolved subspecies of humans commonly referred to as the Twitard. They follow the books and movies with blind adoration, and they go into siezures when someone makes the slightest negative comment about their most beloved holy books. They are quite amusing to poke fun of, as their heads begin to spin and they spit out such insightful retorts as “U SUCK”, “Edward is SOOOOO hot” and my personal favourite “UR STUPID”. A most amusing species, to be sure.[/quote]
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA So freaking true.
True Blood is way better than Twilight will ever be. This isn’t a good article, you need to actually watch the series. Twilight is so teen-gush and so predictable. True Blood can turn you on, make you scared, make you cry, and make you angry all at once, Twilight just makes you wonder if Pattison’s make-up artist forgot to continue the whiteness past his face.
Twilight is, well, “cute”.
So go suck on that. Or bite it. Your choice.
Are you dense, Celebuzz? There is a different between Edward Cullen and Robert Pattinson. Even Pattison has expressed his distaste for Edward’s character, so maybe you should make it a little clearer. I think Moyer, a grown man, is mature enough not to say those things about a real person. But he’s right, Edward is lame.
True Blood is the best show ever, about a million times more interesting than ‘tw*tlight’ omg that film was THE most boring hour-and-whatever of my life. Plus Stephen Moyer is about a billion times sexier than Robert ‘i-look-like-a-foot’ Pattinson.
[quote=whatever]if true blood was that good wouldnt they have made a movie for all the books….but for twilght they made movies and won awards and true blood just ended up with a cheezzy show on tv…..so people who keep putting down twilight…think abt it…n once again TWILIGHT RULES…and all the characters in them especailly EDWARD….[/quote]
shut the f*ck up seriously, twilight and new moon are f*cking terrible movies whereas true blood actually has decent actors, good scripts and a decent plot.
[quote=Lex]I find it hilarious that almost all the comments bashing True Blood or Stephen have HUGE misspellings or horrible grammar. XD Stephen was obviously NOT talking about Rob, whom I dislike anyways. He was talking about EDWARD. And really, what he was saying is completely true. The Twilight series is marketed at younger audiences, whereas True Blood is aimed at a more mature market. And the people that are say that Stephen is “just jealous cuz RPattz is hotter then u!” really need to calm down. Stephen stars in an amazing show, is dating Anna Paquin in real life, and has two lovely children; he has NOTHING to be jealous of.[/quote]
yesss!!!fully agreeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Stephen Moyer better known as bill dont care what anybody has to say I am in love wit him and his character .god bless handsome men
I agree, I think Edward’s character is a pussy plus True Blood is sooo better than twilight. Twilight is for romantic teens and True Blood is for a mature audience or if you’re really into vampires
true bloods is for adults not pre-teens. i’m sure all these ‘true blood sucks’ comments are coming from people who still have bed times. true blood is intelligent and about adults not 16yr olds still in school.
