He loves with reckless abandon and fights with fierce loyalty. We sat down with Ian Somerhalder as he reveals what really drives Damon, and why he thinks the dark, complex vampire is a lot like him.
I met him and he was absolutely amazing. His eyes are so beautiful and when he looks at you, you feel so tingly and stuff. I was starstruck and was laughing and blushing. He gave me a high five and held my hand. Then, he signed a picture and talked to us for a bit. He was so nice
I mean he is very attractive, but is everyone overlooking ISF ? The Ian Somerhalder Foundation. The charity work he does to help the environment and its furry creatures. He is more than just a handsome face.
Ian has to be my favorite actor of all time. A little because I love Damon but mostly because he's absolutely amazing! I've met him twice and he's so sweet. He treats his fans like old friends instead of crazed fans, he's wonderful.
I live in Georgia and TVD films here. So they came to our mall and I saw the entire cast but didn't get to meet them. I've also been to the set of TVD and there they told us he'd be at eyecon that Sunday so I went. They hold an eyecon convention every year in Atlanta and ever since I found that out I go. Ian usually goes to every convention. So I bought a ticket and went. I hope to go again this year.
Marie Kessel I order them online. They do an eyecon convention and a dragoncon convention in Atlanta Georgia and usually the TVD cast goes every year. The eyecon convention is cheaper. The tickets went up for sell last year around April. Go on facebook and friend request TVDeycon. They have a lot of information there.
yeah, he's got a kinda magnetic personality....u tend to be attracted towards him more n more u know him by reading about him n watching him...he is really wonderfully confident..
not only is he hot (cute) but his smart very smart, if you pay attention to the things he says, his also passionate, and that is why i love him both in and out of the vampire diaries.
he's really smart, and it's so cute how he starts sputtering out random facts about stuff in the beginning. (they weren't really random but the fact that he knows just random shit about shit from the top of his head is... cuteeee.)
It is interesting that the people who want to put Ian down only comment on the fans who posts about his looks. There are tonnes of fans who comment on Ian's charity work, how humble and down to earth he is. How compassionate he is about everyone, the planet and its animals, how dead against bullying in all its formats he is, racism of any kind. And some of the haters know all this, yet they persist in their hatred.
ok wow, NEVER heard of this guy before, then I saw the vampire diaries. Ian Somerhalder is THE sexiest man I have every laid eyes on! I would do anything to meet this guy!!!!
***** Finally! Someone gets it! The man is gorgeous but 99.9% percent of his apoeal is the fact that he's driven in every aspect of his life. He uses his fame to do great things not just for himself but for the world at large. He doesn't do it for the recognition. He does it because he is truly passionate about the causes he champions for.
Why the fu*k m so obsessed with him. I mean I watch him all day, his series, his movies, his interviews. He is in my dreams....ahhhh! His eyes are driving me crazy!
He is a lovely talented down to earth man who happens to be good looking, much people are a fan regardless of his looks be very shallow just to support someone for that reason x
He is like literally the reason why i am drawn to this show i just love him and his personality then him as Damon is just like literally out of this world
I love how kind of awkward he is because I think he is smarter than the average person and also has a good heart so comes off more sincere and unpolished than you’d expect
This is a man to model men by..Nina you had a lucky 3 years with him...most of us just want 5 mins with him ( at least ..lol) But as I watched this..the part that he talks about letting Elena go to grow and do her thing...kinda feels like hes speaking of Nina too...You are fabulous Ian!!

Those of you saying he is boring or that Paul is more humorous obviously your brain doesn't have the capacity to understand his intelligence. Ian is a very smart man and a very humble and genuinely nice person and he may not always joke around but that is most likely because this interview although, it may not seem like it is apart of his job which I would imagine he takes seriously so of course he isn't going to joke around 24/7. You need to remember Damon is just a character although they have similarities they also have many differences. Ian can be just as humorous as Paul you're simply watching the wrong interview. Ian is an amazing actor, person, and idol.
i think one of the differences between a normal person and him is, that there isn't any ugly photo or a weird pic with a weird face on it, cause Ian Somerhalder is just perrrrrfect *-*
did you guys notice this cute smile at the and of this conversation. ( when he says: thank you so much). I wish some man smile to me that way but I am not sure if anyone can equal Ian. He is just perfect.
He sounds tired in this interview but kudos to him for being able to answer the questions so well, anyway :) Now that Joseph has The Originals,Ian is the only reason I'll watch TVD..oh,and Katherine,of course :)
I dont think he's hot because of the TV show, I Just saw him for the first time on that show and the minute I saw him I was shocked. HAHA I paused the show where he meets elena and I was freaking out like who the hell is that!!?? To get to know this guy as person would be a dream come true, instead of always just seeing his face.
it's kind of weird watching him talk about Damon because I only see Damon. His expressions, the way he talks, his looks etc. This character was a perfect match for him.
Ian's breaking my heart at 5:45 when he starts being real and talking about, what I already know - how much he's like Damon. He's killing me! He's gonna need to stop! Oh Ian. Baby. :"( The way his voice cracked when he started talking about what Elena needs. :"( I was 3 in '96! So that makes him feel old and me too. Arrow's not ahead of TVD in ratings. Arrow's just catching up. Ooh, they're filming flashbacks.
Ian is the "only" reason why I'm watching TVD's.
Shallow
Me too.

I agree all the more to like him not just a good looking man😊
Yes we love his looks, acting, charity and personality. Right now I am just watching his videos for how nicely he responds to people.
Damon plays a good Ian Somerhalder.
Ian has to be my favorite actor of all time. A little because I love Damon but mostly because he's absolutely amazing! I've met him twice and he's so sweet. He treats his fans like old friends instead of crazed fans, he's wonderful.
Can you please tell me how you managed to meet him?It's my dream!!

thank you so so much
That smile thing he does with his mouth is just UGHHH I cant😭😍
He laughs, he cooks, he likes animals and he cares about the world and tries to help when he can. What's not to love???
that's like 90% of people
@@user-dh4zd8pr9t Hmm🤔🤔🤔not exactly, but what she means because he is celebrity,handsome....I gues she was surprised 💁
also he has 8inches……😅
@@user-dh4zd8pr9tnah there’s not that many people who care about the world as you can see there litter everywhere and so many other negative things
@@user-dh4zd8pr9t add the fact that he's handsome and you'll have like 0.00001% of people.
Being good looking and kind at the same time is rare.
This man is so beautiful and the way he speaks with so much passion is mesmerizing! I could listen to him speak for hours😍
I love Ian he is so intelligent and down to earth and I love his insight and humor that this stupid interviewer didn't understand
what a pity the interviewer didn't understand his humour. whatever, we did :)
Lexi Carranza I totally agree I and I love Ian 2. :)
HE WEARS. THE RING. THE ACTUAL RING.
Why wasn't he made Christian Grey again?
Kapri Bubby because his fucking wife is against it
Love Love what are you talking about? That movie came out before he even started dating his wife ....
Because that’s a disgusting film and I would hope he has more decency that that
That smile...and those eyes, plus he's so smart and so humble. How can you not love Ian!?
He's so complex and he just knows how to talk, he's so dynamic with his choice of words lol
It's so hard to picture him as anything else..all I see is damon, he was born for this role.
Yes, Ian/Damon- you are the one who drew me into this show. lol. Without you, this show would have sunk long ago!
Its the truth i am watching the series because of Ian Somerhalder / Damon Rocks the show
I like klaus...
Ian Somerhalder Fan Support same here!
I care for Ian Somerhalder deeply
Lois Lane

That smirk, ugh one of the sexiest men alive.
He's literally perfect.
Ian is so hot

I only watch The Vampire Diaries because of Ian ♥ I mean, he's fucking perfect ♥ The series wouldn't be the same without him, not even close
I know right! he is amazing
not only is he hot (cute) but his smart very smart, if you pay attention to the things he says, his also passionate, and that is why i love him both in and out of the vampire diaries.
If only there was a 'Love' button:(
Everything about this man just hypnotizes me.... >.
he's beautiful. i met him yesterday at the TVD convention and it was amazing and perfect. he is the most amazing man on this planet in every way
he's really smart, and it's so cute how he starts sputtering out random facts about stuff in the beginning. (they weren't really random but the fact that he knows just random shit about shit from the top of his head is... cuteeee.)

I feel you. I got goosebumps, my heart skipped a beat... JEEESUS
It´s too much to handle

I love everything about you Ian. You are without a doubt you are one of the greatest of men on our planet.
Gosh!! He is so adorable and then lovely eyes.
So cute and beautiful.

Happy Birthday Ian, may you have many many more in the future.
I'm a dude but I'd hit that...
...no homo doe
I love how kind of awkward he is because I think he is smarter than the average person and also has a good heart so comes off more sincere and unpolished than you’d expect

I think I just fell even more in love with him omg
Poor Ian he looked so tired but he's still awesome and when he talks it's like you have to pay attention to what he's saying just because!
He has the best facial expressions…there’s always so much going on…he’s a good actor.
What a beautiful awesome and talented guy! love this interview ♥
all I think when I see him is Christian Grey
yes...OH YES GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!
YASS
lool he said yes to the part when they asked him, but he couldn't do it due to him being in Atlanta shooting TVD
Ian's mind is so complex. I'd love nothing more than to sit down with him and a cup of coffee and just depict his thoughts.
God he so hot

I love you Ian.. You are one of the greatest actors and the most lovely human being!!
Ian why in the world are you so perfect in everything you do? I am another fan who thinks you are absolutely the greatest.
he's literally the definition of "perfection", i'm just swimming in his ocean blue eyes❤️
I agree that this might be one of the best season! I'm totally into it this year
appreciate this high-quality video✨

Lo adoro!!!! Es hermoso, es un gran tipo... Y en cuanto a Damon... no puedo evitar amarlo.... Me encantó como Ian describió a Damon...
There's so many possibilities to extend the vamps surely the writers can continue them forever. The cast are all great together
His face is so amazingly expressive - if it weren't for those great expressions, I don't think Damon would make such an amazing character to watch.
NEVER LEAVE THE SHOW
Hehehe. Silly Ian. Can't speak for everyone, but I for one am completely sober and you sir are most definitely the best part of the show!
He's so sweet!! I'd love to meet him someday. He is so outgoing and kind. He's very low key and genuine.
Ian you are most defiantly the reason I watch T V D's you're the greatest ever!
i think one of the differences between a normal person and him is, that there isn't any ugly photo or a weird pic with a weird face on it, cause Ian Somerhalder is just perrrrrfect *-*

I am so glad they went back to the same style as when they started it so I can start watching it again.
Wow, he's really smart.
He sounds tired in this interview but kudos to him for being able to answer the questions so well, anyway :) Now that Joseph has The Originals,Ian is the only reason I'll watch TVD..oh,and Katherine,of course :)
Can't wait!!!!!
I can't believe he talked about Jonathan Rhys Meyers !!!
ki teresa same here because I love both of them.
I think this is one of his best interviews top of my list anyway he looks so proud talking about Damon and Delena I love him and Damon even more now 😘
that lip bite at 1:16 tho ohhhh yessss
Ian is always so passionate when he talks
He's so raw in this interview. Best human being in Hollywood hands down.
you are my best., thank so mich God for give us Ian
I can watch this all day
This was uploaded on my Birthday!! YAY!!
that wink at 3.06. He is so genuine and kind
This is a great season, and he's such an intelligent person, you can see him thinking everything he says, rare thing these days.
perfection in 1080pHD 🖤🖤🖤
This has got to be one of the most real interviews with Ian like idk omg.
when he says "I'm a lot like damon" I'm thinking 'u both in love with Nina/Elena
I'd give everything up to be his love interest
I love him! One of the best interviews! :)
Why does he have to so good-looking?! Omg perfection
love you Ian ....love your beautiful eyes
His face when he says that there's a lot of similarities between he and Damon breaks my heart.
Yes... Us here in Atlanta LOVE you here!!!
