Fellow "True Blood" fans: We all know that #WaitingSucks. That's HBO's clever tagline for all of us suffering from major Bon Temps longings, in case you're not already familiar. Although the premiere is still a couple weeks away (June 26, to be exact), lucky for you and me, HBO has gifted us with the most wonderful treat for those most in need of a "True Blood" fix: an EXCLUSIVE video message from Ryan Kwanten!!
Click on the clever video below and prepare to delighted.
First, it must be noted that instead of hearing Ryan deliver his syrupy Louisiana drawl, we get to hear his much more swoonworthy Australian accent.
"If you tell your girlfriend you don't mind that she's a werepanther and you love her all the same, you're probably crazy," Ryan says to camera in the opening lines of the video. "And you are definitely suffering from TBW: True Blood Withdrawal."
This is followed by the start of a melodramatic piano soundtrack playing in the background, which brings a sense of tongue-in-cheek gravity and authenticity to the PSA-ness of Ryan's announcement.
"Hi, I'm Ryan Kwanten from HBO's 'True Blood,'" he says. "HBO has created TBWithdrawal.com. It's a place where Bon Temps addicts can come together to satisfy their 'True Blood' cravings, holding them over until the premiere on Sunday, June 26. You can watch clips, talk about the upcoming fourth season, or discuss who was the best high school football player in Bon Temps history," he says, before whispering the answer. "It's Jason."
"TBWithdrawal.com," he says in summary and conclusion. "[It] makes waiting suck a lot less."
How cute is this? Both Ryan and the brilliant folks at HBO who came up with this idea? Why can't June 26 come faster?!!?!? Don't forget to click play on the second PSA below, which includes the entire cast (sans Alexander Skarsgård, sadly).
