Love Nina as much as we do?!

I don’t think Nina gets enough praise for playing sooo many roles in TVD! Her acting is INCREDIBLE. The scenes where the audience was supposed to not know if Elena or Katherine was on the screen, but Nina’s acting was soo good that you could instantly tell
Omg I always say that. Poor girl had so many lines. And she made each character different. I hated Elena so much but I always loved the way Nina portrayed her she did phenomenal! And she seems so fun and quirky and genuine in real life
you can thank harvey weinstein for her getting so many roles
@@briancockerham4731well we won't
Her acting is mid
I literally always say this! She can play any role and she does it perfectly
I love how nina took a lot of time to answer some her questions / her pauses weren't edited out she's so real loved this episode and love y'all 🫶
😊
😊
"You're so beautiful, didn't people like you?"..."I had a unibrow"....LMAO THIS IS WHY I LOVE NINA!
Love Nina. Loved her in Vampire Diaries. I was so mad when she left in the 6th season. I was a teenager back then. I didn’t know better. But now being an adult and seen her as an adult and knowing that she is in a good place right now mentally, physically and professionally is great! I would love to meet her someday. She has such a nice energy thru the screen, I can imagine her energy in person.
I was happy Elena was gone (she was annoying), but I wanted Katherine to keep up as a regular 💜 She was the best character after Bonnie
If I saw delena being endgame in the script I would’ve left too. She made the right decision to run!
@@Ace4975_agree!
@@Ace4975_ I heard that they made delena endgame *because* Nina left the show, as they didn't get the opportunity to bring stelena back together. But honestly, good for her for leaving, the show started decaying with season 4 and should've ended there. Season 5 was such a disaster
I really felt her last statement about cultural differences. I grew up making myself invisible or trying to fit in because I was so often the only brown person in the room, and I had such a different frame of reference culturally. In a way I was often dealing with extremes - in school with people who have never been exposed to my South Asian culture, then at home trying to explain American culture to my immigrant parents. I often felt caught in the middle of this push and pull.
Nina is a legend. She played Elena, Kathrine, Amara, Tatia. Katrine pretending to be Elena, Elena with no humanity, human Katrine. And she made every character look differwnt
Nina answered the question about her relationship without really answering it. Bravo!
I have always loved Nina and Penns voices as well so this was really great ❤
Nina is like the best actress i've ever know, just love her so much
I'm so happy to learn so much about her, such an incredible human being
ugh how can you not love nina
I wish you 3 would've been my middle school besties 😭
Is it too late?
Right
Great episode and the jokes were so cute. Everyone knew it was in jest. Love all you guys. All the way from Zambia (google us as a country to visit 😊)
omggg a duo we never thought we needed
Two of my favorite actors.. I literally can’t!! 😍❤️❤️💪
I just loved everything about this podcast. I have always followed Nina ever since I can remember using Instagram and love everything she posts. She is so real about everything. Just love her journey and how far she has come. It was truly amazing. I guess I will start watching these podcasts now😅..this was my first one. I just saw Nina and dove into it❤️✨
Oh yeah she's definetely slavic since she knocks on wood to prevent something from coming true. Im from Croatia and people here do that all the time
You know what… I like her! She seems very kind and lovely!
Amazing interview. You guys are all amazing! I wish the best for Sophie! Send my love to Nina
Thank you!!
Every hyper flexible person does not have Ehlers danlos. That’s a very rare and extreme case. Sometimes it just weak ligaments and hyper extensions of joints which gets better if you regularly strength train and take proper supplements.
I loved her acting in movies and tv show after TVD. She is making a career. I wish we see her in "You" :
Were flat irons not available in Canada?? Shay Mitchell tells a similar story about using a clothing iron to straighten her hair and it just seems so weirdly unnecessarily dangerous
Lol, they didn't really exist in 2002-3 or we just didn't have them yet- Me and my friends did this in the states as well.
my mom would do this in the 90s/early 2000s so if they did exist they probably weren’t super accessible
Weird! I remember having a flat iron in high school and I graduated in 2005. Maybe it was new and I didn’t realize it.
well this was like the late 90s and early 2000s my sister didn't have a flat iron at the time , I don't think they even really existed . so she had to be creative to straighten her hair .
Oh it was heeella normal in the Avril Lavigne era 😅 I think either many parents thought this was something hella unnecessary to buy or the flat irons weren’t good enough as we wanted them to be? (cheap ones anyway)
Love ❤ Nina Dobrev she is one of my favorite actress.
nina dobrev ❤
"Im your biggest fan ill follow you until you love me 😂"
OMG The Vampire Diaries x Gossip Girl!!! I'm dying 😍😍😍😍😍
Pretty privilege? I’ve never heard that one before either😂
Me and my sister used to use a clothing iron to straighten our hair too. 😂
This interview kinda depressed me...
She's seemingly taking herself sooo seriously, I think thinking that it makes her more likeable, but yes, you are beautiful, and you don't have to put yourself on anyone else's level.
Then I think back to Elena though, and how she had the like ultimate wet blanket energy. And no wonder she was so attractive to all the guys! A beautiful woman who's volunteering to be the chaperone of life! They don't have to do anything...
Feeling inspired to rewatch and appreciate her as Catherine...
Bruh, get out of your tvd zone and watch this interview again keeping in mind that she's a whole another person outside her TV show character
i know her about elena that was amazing❤
I feel like the pretty privilege was so rude like I understand but pretty people can feel lonely too or wanting to fit in.
“Came back to CANADA” 🇨🇦
I love Nina! And wow, she could've worn ANYTHING with her... shape, lol! And she went with a respective silk blazer and I'm like, " WOW, IF THAT WASN'T ALREADY OUT THERE!" I just respect the look, she didn't come in busting out of her clothes. She is SUCH A PHENOMENAL ACTRESS AND I LOVE HER! Celeb girl crush, her and Selena Gomez! Btw, celeb girl crush just means you think highly of them! And yeah, I think she's awesome! As well as everyone in this podcast👍💯🔥this is weird, I'm about to leave, I have to, and heard the body thing! She's classy!
Ahhh i screamed when i saw this pop up hehehhe!!
Its that guy from gossip girl
Cool video❤
Cool personality
Penn u need ur own podcast 😅
Woah my Vampire crush 🫶🏼
Ninaaaaa 😍
penn badgley is actually such a cool, funny dude. I'm so used to him being a total creep 😂
creep is sexy
*playing
Who tf says that Nina has aged badly???? This woman is gorgeous, kind, funny and fucking talented 🥰 thank you so much for this talk
She is still pretty and young, some people are just evil
She got work done, which means she is not accepting the aging process. Happens with most actors.
@@lonetardigradeTo point it out is so completly weird to me.I understand the curousity but it feels invasive not to mention the conscending tone they do it in .She is human being after all and sees it .
@@ChivyD people can point out when someone is looking different, theyre merely pointing out a fact after all. It's when they do it in a judgemental or condescending type of way that's the problem.
@@lonetardigradeshe actually didn't, she said that before and a guy who is an expert and plastic surgeries, said that she's just getting older, and loosing fat in her face, so yeah.
I appreciate Nina’s response to the discussion of her beauty. This is in no way to put her down, she’s gorgeous. But she’s right, she’s being styled and dressed by professionals, posed in photoshopped images, and presented to young viewers as “look at this beautiful woman in this show/ movie”. We’re not taught to see beauty as this inherent, Creator-given human quality. Capitalism has made beauty something you buy from too many businesses to count because you’re ashamed that you don’t look like the photoshopped lady in the magazine. It takes conscious change to go from “Nina Dobrev is so hot, I should just give up” to “Wow, Nina has such a warm smile, I want to hear about what brings her joy.”
Adding to that, I HATE how there's a trend out there right now that's constantly trying to prove that EVERY celeb out there has gotten some surgery simply because they all look different (obviously because of aging as Nina shared). And yes in some cases it's quite obvious that certain celebs have done something, but it's mostly alot of celebs who have literally just aged and nothing else. And it just frustrates me so much when I see that.
@@anamikakhan593 I agree! It’s none of my business if they had cosmetic surgery.
But being hot is a good thing?
@@adreanaheavenholland We think of hotness as a positive quality, sure. Nothing wrong with saying “dang Nina looks great”. But we tend to dehumanize people that we call “hot”. And it’s subjective. Everyone is beautiful. I’d rather hear about how it is with your soul.
@@nataliebowerman5594 I feel that!
Nina is a fantastic actor. It takes great skill to play different characters simultaneously and make them so distinctive and different from one another. She really shined in dramatic roles. I'd love to see more of her work in drama.
Yeah, when she was on TVD, I was like, ok she's spouting perfect Bulgarian where she's really from, she's gorgeous, but has her humility, a beautiful bombshell all in all 🎀 and I'm like doppelganger, she should get a check for Elena, Katherine, and Amarah! And she's so different! My fiance can walk in and say," that's Katherine, right?" But, yeah and the other dopples, too! Btw, we all spoke at the same time, I'VE NEVER BROKEN A BONE EXCEPT MY PINKY TOE...TWICE 🤣🤣 I have them on DVD and can rewatch anytime, I've seen it so many times, and I'd watch it again! Love you all!
Can Nina and Penn play in a series or movie together as a couple?! I think they have great chemistry
New season of You but she doesn’t get killed lol
Right they seem adorable together ❤
Not every person with great chemistry needs to date. Why is a friendship not enough?
She’s in to red heads
@@floridafam8906 just cause I said the new season of you doesn’t mean she’d be a love interest
Manifesting a leighton meester, ed westwick and chace Crawford interview. It would be sooo cool- we grew up watching gossip girl- the show played a big role especially navigating high school dynamics😅
there’s already a leighton meester one
@@cora1201and a chance one no?
What about Blake Lively
I'm actually watching the vampire diaries again but on netflix right now and when i started the first season i laughed so hard to see their "baby faces" i love Nina, she is one of the best actresses i've seen, not many who have played multiple characters as beautifully as she did :)
Me too, i am on 2nd season... But i love it as much as the i loved the 1st time.. I love them sooo much. Its good to see them all grown up now, but i miss them soo much
All the 30-somethings year olds watching this are crying! Our entire childhoods/teenage years in one podcast!
I am over 30, 27. Yeah, I m crying
I was so young ....
Ha! Old people
I’m 18 lmao
Absolutely loved this interview. It was so humbling and her voice is so soothing. The fact that she feels the need to research her past to remember her experiences is adorable!
Amazing interview. And to Sophie, best wishes on your pregnancy 💗
Edit: Corrected the name! 😆
So sweet! Sophie is pregnant
@@podcrushedpodcast ; I always confuse them! So sorry, lol. Editing now! Thank you for correcting me.
I adore and admire Nina ever since the TVD days!! I love her honesty and her humour, as well as her saltiness/sassiness. I really hope that she'll be involved in bigger, more famous and appreciated movies and projects so she would get the praise she deserves!
ugh i just love her, she has such an air of sincerity and warmth about her. she seems like the type to be the first to text her friends happy birthday every year 😄
Nina is hands down the most talented actress I know. If anyone has watched TVD they would agree. Honestly she deserves an Emmy or Oscar or something for her roles in the vampire diaries.
you should watch orphan black, Tatiana Maslany plays at least 5 characters in the show. She plays the three main characters of the show
😂😂😂
you should reconsider that opinion.
@@cihannesvat4261yup LmAo
@@kevinage2332 I was literally thinking this when I read that comment! Tatiana really was amazing in Orphan Black!
Penn is the perfect host. He’s great a diverting the conversation when someone asks a very uncomfortable and awkward question. Like, why are we forcing her to defend her looks?
They’d be great acting together, they had good chemistry
love all your guys podcasts! you guys are incredible! just a thought tho, when expressing admiration for someone's beauty (1:54 - 2:13), I believe we can make the experience even more uplifting. Instead of comparing ourselves or downplaying our own looks, let's focus on genuinely celebrating the beauty of others. Our compliments can have a more positive impact when we emphasize their unique qualities and make them feel special. By sharing genuine and kind words, we can ensure that our compliments leave a lasting, positive impression without unintentionally causing any negative feelings. Let's spread happiness and build each other up through sincere appreciation and admiration.
This is what i thought! Beautifully said ❤
Loved this episode except for the question " do you think everyone wanted to be around you because your pretty? " . That was an awkward question to ask
that's sounds envy for me...
agree
YES!!!! So out of pocket lmfao
That was not the question. Nina said that she wasn't very popular at some time and the host noticed that pretty people usually are popular. That's it.
the way nina knocked on wood to avoid something bad happening to her 😭 do americans also do that? never heard of it outside eastern europe/balkans 29:39
there is a phrase "knock on wood" in american english, but i've never seen americans doing that, the only other celeb i saw doing that was sebastian stan, and he is romanian 😭
For the English its touch wood
Hello! American here. “Knock on wood” is an extremely commonly-used idiom people say to ward off jinxes or bad luck. I will say I can only really speak for Midwestern U.S. folks, since I grew up in Kansas and my parents were brought up in other Midwestern states. I’ve also lived in Alaska, South Carolina, & Illinois. I noticed it’s not as commonly-used outside of the Midwest. 😊
We do it in Germany, too
Nina is the sweetest human being. Definitely my favorite actress of all time and my inspiration to go into the acting industry 🎭
She was, is and will always be beautiful ♥️
She’s so refreshingly self deprecating. A true gem in such a toxic industry
Me and kids still watch vampire diaries ...once a year 😊❤
I’m so exited to watch this
Loved every second of this interview. So real and honest. She definitely felt very welcome by you guys. Nice environment and vibe 🙌🏼🫶🏻
Watched GG & TVD back in the day. Loved Nina also in Degrassi & Love Hard, and Penn in Easy A and Jeff Buckley. Great to see y'all chat and swap stories.
i love nina!! been following her career and life ever since the early days of TVD, she’s grown so much and has always had such a positive impact of me! ❤
Nina !! You look better now then you did on Vampire Diaries & you were smoking hott back then .... Keep up the confidence
Manifesting a leighton meester, ed westwick and chace Crawford interview. It would be sooo cool- we grew up watching gossip girl- the show played a big role especially navigating high school dynamics😅
Leighton was on already. Unless you mean all of them together.
@@sharon21924yes I think it was just audio
Nina is such a lovely person and so authentic… 🥰 Great talk, really enjoyed it. 👏 Greetings from Bulgaria
This is so sweet! I think it's great to hear actors/actresses' opinions on how acting has shaped their lives and in Nina's case also not having any connections to the industry beforehand. I'm sure there was more she could've talked about in terms of how (especially) actresses get treated in Hollywood but that surely is a very sensitive subject. I loved your questions for her. It's so refreshing to hear women talk more about their experiences, deep conversations about love, about seeking healthy relationships and all that.
And about the comments that Nina sometimes gets on her instagram, I remember seeing that when I looked her up and was shocked that people write such vile things in the first place. I have the feeling that women get somehow punished for aging or looking different to how we look in our teenage years compared to 30. It's like you're damned if you do cosmetic procedures but also damned if you don't do it. It seems like you can't win.
Nina is great! I really like her interviews. Thank you for having her on your show. Best of luck!
The only podcast I can sit through and actually laugh, you guys are so entertaining 😂
That pretty privilege question was so out of pocket lol I think Nina is that last person that deserves a question like that & it definitely threw her off.
And didn’t the same host who asked this question- make a comment before she came in that it doesn’t matter if she herself put make up on or not bc regardless she will not look good compared to Nina sitting next to her???? Sounds like it came from insecurities to me. Embarrassing….
I felt so embarrassed for that girl asking that😂 like Nina was taken back. So rude
Yeah i was like idk who she is but that question was so rude. Like if she had done her research Nina has had a lot of backlash for aging so like it makes the question really rude when she recently has gotten hate on her appearance. Props to Nina for her answer. I love her.
@@shyonna5417 same! Idk who these two girls are I just came to this podcast from tik tok bc I really like Nina. I’ve never listened to it before. But it was definitely rude and weird. Very embarrassing of them.
Huh? Pretty priviledge is a big thing and Nina was THE beauty standard when TVD came out. Every girl wanted to be her. It wasn't an accusation or an insult, she was opening a discussion.
@@sarasthoughts ohh please it is not. people love to throw that around when they see someone good looking being successful. Just bc someone is pretty does not mean they were just given the part or had it easy. You might have thought she was “the beauty standard” but others might not have. I’ve never looked at any character and wanted to be them or felt ashamed bc they were good looking. Y’all need to work on your self confidence and self esteem and just enjoy the show.
What was eith the pretty privilege question... what an ugly question
These questions on love and vampire diaries are so bland and predictable. I wish I learned more on things that aren’t commonly talked about: her childhood, her family relations, upbringing, other acting roles besides Vampire Diaries, future goals, challenges and victories. This is missing DEPTH :/ the beauty question was so awkward! Why not focus more on character and mindset and experience??
Nina, you could possibly have a connective tissue disease called Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, it causes "double jointedness" called hypermobility, and easy dislocations! Part of the diagnostic test includes asking if you've ever been able to do the splits now or as a child, showing off your cool joint tricks, stuff like that. That also extends to more than joints, but also skin tissue, blood vessel fragility, especially in the heart. Might be worth investigating with a doctor it could put your shoulder dislocations and flexibility as a teen in perspective, preventing against future issues with your heart as you age (which can be very common.) :)
The heart is more an issue with the vascular type and maybe other types. Though we do need a check up every 3 years and as we age we can evolve problems with the heart or blood vessels, hEDS is actually very different from like vascular eds or other types
I’m sorry did Penn say he has a 14 year old??? Maybe I heard wrong but also maybe I’m in denial about how old we’re all getting which is actually pretty lovely
Stepson
How do you stay so young , Penn Badgley ?!? I just started watching gossip girl again, and it’s just crazy how you didn’t change 😂
Vampire
I'm just now watching The Vampire Diaries for the very first time ever & love that Katerina was originally from Bulgaria & that she speaks in Bulgarian for a scene. Also it's nice that Nina knows Bulgarian even if she doesn't need to. This and the fact that Bulgarians were masters on Quiddich in Harry Potter & Victor Krum was in the movie are my proudest moments for us as Bulgarians ^_^
Love how y'all put a disclaimer on here that it was recorded prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike but Nina Dobrev fans would know right away bc she got bangs now :)
Nina has been my favorite actress since I was 9, and I just love her as a person. It’s a good feeling when you enjoy the work of someone who is genuinely a good person
I really love nina, she has this kind of an incredible impact on people
Did she day being beautiful is objective? She ment subjective, right? 😂
This was a great episode to watch, definitely made me smile and laugh! Much love to Nina and you guys!
loved this episode! watched the whole thing while eating dinner, 44:57 was unexpected but so funny😭
Nina Dobrev are is such a gem! talented, beautiful, sincere, and just an all around cool person I'd love to have a beer with.... and I'm totally not just saying that because I'm a superfan
my two fav actors in one frame elena and joe😍
It feels ridiculous that people hate on her for “aging” when I, a 23 year-old, have more wrinkles than her. Why do people feel the need to comment on other’s appearance anyway? Yuk
Social media is a plague
I was late to the TVD universe and never watched it when it aired..until recently. I gotta say I love Nina she is really just a down to earth person and she's funny and adventurous ❤
My biggest problem with this podcast is that there are 3 moderators which is already a crowd, and they interrupt each other all the time... It frustrates me when someone can't finish the sentence. But even a bigger crime is having a 4th person, which is A GUEST, and interrupting them as well. I tried watching a couple of these podcast, and I would every time give up in the first 10 minutes because of this... even though I was genuinely interested in the guest star...
I hope this gets better as you progress with this project...
Nina is like the best actress i've ever know, just love her so much
how old are grade 9 in canada, cause smoking weed and having sex and driving car seems too young
14-15.. in Canada you can drive at 15
@@lauravann5776 thx
Nina Dobrev, I wonder if you have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.
I think the celebs should just ignore the haters on Instagram. Its like the best way to get rid of a bully is to just ignore them,
Anybody notice Nina Dobrev and Victoria Justice look quite similar. Both gorgeous, talented women.
The pretty privilege question was ridiculous. Name a time in history where a male actor gets asked that same question. No wonder Nina was so baffled. It also implies that she didn't work hard for her roles and things just got handed to her. Never mind that she is still fighting for film and TV roles and some of her shows have succeeded and some have gotten cancelled early...
podcrushed ily for this. my fave episode ever. will always love nina 😩 she’s so humble, intelligent and wise aghhhh. could listen to her forever.
the collab i didn’t know how much i needed
poor nina being attacked by pretty privilege ffs
Nina showed what a good actress she is in The Vampire Diaries, it's sad that she hasn't had more important roles but I hope that at some point in her career she gets the recognition she deserves
This was a really fun and lighthearted interview. Overall very entertained 🙏
OMG Nina, that's Joe from YOU! Ruuuunnnnn girl! No but serious note how good is their chemistry??!!.. I want that show! I don't know what it is but I want it. I love Nina! This was a great interview.
Nina looks amazing to me anyone nit picking needs to check their prescrption glasses immiediately. She's flawless in this podcast. Love her infectious personality & could listen to her voice for hours. I hope she finds real happiness & content in both her personal & professional life. Just one flash of that awesome smile brings so much joy. She deserves the world to smile right back at her over & over again.
