Evan Rachel Wood has said she can’t wait to start work on US TV show True Blood because she thinks she’s perfect for the role of a 400 year old vampire.

The The Wrestler star explained recently: “Make-up is gonna love me because I’ve got the skin for it; they don’t have to put white make-up on me - to look like a vampire - because I never go in the sun.

“I [also] can’t wait to get fitted for the fangs. I’ll probably steal the fangs when I’m done.”

The second season of the show starts in the US this weekend.
