Just You and Ian

Last week on TVD, Elena spent some unexpected quality time with Damon, and we were green with envy. This week we're getting up close and personal with Ian Somerhalder, and he's all we need. Check out this interview and tell us what you think.


Did you catch that he said "Bad boys were never really allowed in the front door"? Ha! Do you think maybe he has some things in common with his character?

he is so HOT, and his eyes..OMG

Posted by Kyah on January 28, 2010 at 05:15 PM EST #

ok, i have to agree with the first 2 comms ... jeez he's hot!!! ... I'm really glad Ian's playing Damon cause i just love em both soooo much ?.? ... anyway, I really do think Ian has points in common with Damon, like the whole bad boy in disguise bit. ok, Damon is a little obvious about it but he's trying to hide from the police and basically anyone who can be a threat either to him or his plan. and the front door thing *giggle* yeah, vampires shouldn't be either but if they seem nice (or are just super hot) they get in no prob :D *kicking myself for posting a comm soooo long*

Ian = Damon <33

Posted by Ayna on January 29, 2010 at 08:09 AM EST #

First off I love the title "You and Ian" lol Ian is an incredible actor and I am a big fan of the books so I was a bit worried when watching the show but Ian IS Damon. When I picture Damon I picture Ian(with dark eyes ;o)..) Damon really makes the show, I watch it for him. He is also my favorite character in the books, you just never know what you will get with Damon and that is exciting. Ian being the sexiest man alive is just icing on the cake ;o)

Posted by missy on January 29, 2010 at 09:02 AM EST #

omg i love him and i love stephen

Posted by Sumaya on January 29, 2010 at 10:51 AM EST #

Posted by maleesa on January 29, 2010 at 04:33 PM EST #

OMG Ian is so sexy and he totally makes the show. You have to have a hot bad boy in it.

Posted by Jenna on January 30, 2010 at 04:37 AM EST #

I totally agree with Jenna he is so amazing and underneath all the bad boy act he's super sweet.

soOOOOO HOT!

Posted by fay on January 31, 2010 at 12:19 PM EST #

Seriously I would love some one on one time with Ian & Paul ! Oh what a night !

Posted by Jennifer on January 31, 2010 at 02:04 PM EST #

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! he is sooooooooo sexy! just a regular sexi beast if you ask me! I love his character (Damon) because he is a smart-a**! his sarcasm and bad boy attitude just makes him all the sexier! oh, how I would love to spend one night with him......there would be absolutely noooo sleeping. AT ALL!!!!!!! :P

Posted by Shiloh on February 02, 2010 at 12:22 PM EST #

Girls, Girls, Girls! There is much more to Ian then just sexiness, which seems to be what everyone is stuck on. Hes smart and someone you would want to talk to for hours. He has so much knowledge. HE also has a big place in his heart for animals especially strays. If I had a choice what to do with him for one night it would be to sit up talking to him and listening to his views and talking o him. He is an incredible person.

Posted by missy on February 03, 2010 at 07:10 AM EST #

Missy - I actually came here to comment on the same thing. I heard he rescued a kitten when he worked on LOST, so that won me over even more than those blue eyes.. Ian seems to get cast for his looks, but it's overlooked just how intelligent and well-spoken he is. When I met him in Paramus I wasn't so eloquent because he's 10 times more intimidatingly beautiful in person.. I at least got to tell him that I've appreciated his career since Young Americans and Rules of Attraction. I hope he gets cast in more film leading roles when he gets a break from filming Vampire Diaries!

Posted by Kim on February 03, 2010 at 04:13 PM EST #

I have been a HUGE fan of Ian Somerhalder since Young Americans (which many of you may not know or remember). He's had my attention ever since then, and I absolutely think he's the most perfect specimen of man (Brad Pitt can't hold a candle...sorry). Just simply gorgeous....his eyes are incredible and so is his face. I absolutely adore Damon and I can't wait to see if he hooks up with Bonnie, which is my dream to see happen on this show, and the reason why I keep watching.

Posted by Kit Kat on February 03, 2010 at 09:09 PM EST #

HE IS SO GORGEOUS!!!!!! HIS EYES ARE AMAZING!!!!!! LUV HIM!!!!!:)

Posted by Meena on February 03, 2010 at 09:30 PM EST #

even though i'm only 11 years old,i STILL watch it.My mom lets me,she don't care.Oh,and I absolutley LUV PAUL WESLEY PLAYING STEFAN,I ALSO LUV IAN SOMERHALDER PLAYING DAMON<33

Posted by Madyson on February 04, 2010 at 04:01 PM EST #

OMG [2457]!!!!! He's a God... Or he was made in computer! ehehehe His eyes was made in computer. I have sure! =)

Posted by Tatiana on February 04, 2010 at 08:28 PM EST #

Ian is Damon. When I picture him I pitcure Damon and he is so hot!

Posted by may on February 04, 2010 at 09:30 PM EST #

I LOVE HIMMMM!! lol but no he is does play a Damon and his eyes are WOW! :)

Posted by Syrenia on February 05, 2010 at 05:37 PM EST #

I do think Damon is Hot but he is also such a great actor.The way he can make it seem that he has no feelings but in reality he is still so heartbrocken.To be able to protray such a complex character and ace it so well I mean that takes skill. Damon is awesomely hot and talented!!!!

Posted by Julia on February 05, 2010 at 08:27 PM EST #

OMG..Damon is such an awsome actor. I think his charactor truly loves katherine and will in fact do anything for her. Stephen should just help him get her and pearl out, but that is it. They are definetly better then the Twilight cast!!!!

Posted by BhumSalvation on February 07, 2010 at 08:16 PM EST #

I am addicted to Vampire Diaries and Ian Somerhalder has a very large part to play in that...lol. He is everything you imagine when you think of a vampire, he's tall, sexy beyond words and he can seduce anyone with ease. I love him as a person and I love his portrayal of Damon, the darkness and the tortured being Ian really sells it. Listening to Ian speak you can see he's intelligent he's not just a pretty face and he is a damn good actor unlike the actors of Twilight (sorry had to say that). I love Damon's dialogue it's so witty and funny. He's just such a smart ass, it's hard not to want love him. You know he's the "villian" but you're hoping he has more to offer. Love you Ian. Keep up the amazing Job, Vampire Diaries won't be the same without YOU. I'm from Trinidad and Tobago (probably never heard of that name...I'm from the Caribbean) and I just wanted you to know that you're fans are not only American based.

Posted by Christine Charles on February 07, 2010 at 09:51 PM EST #

so love ian! he is a wonderful damon and is almost excatly how i would imagen damon to be. i think it would be interesting to have stefan do something bad insted of damon! there both hot but i kinda like damon better!

Posted by Samantha on February 11, 2010 at 01:19 PM EST #

I love him! Really, Ian is great in anything he does. I loved him in lost, and ever though he died, I still love him. And I love Damon! Gosh, I am head-over-heals in love with Ian! I'm addicted to the show & the books! (:

Posted by Zia Marie Willliams on February 12, 2010 at 10:28 PM EST #

He is the most amazingest eyes ever and a cute smile..... I love him I'm glad he is playing damon nobody else would be better.... :}

Posted by Idalis on February 12, 2010 at 10:31 PM EST #

I'm totally torn!!! I don't know who to choose! I looooooove Paul and his seriousness and his (omigod) voice, but I loooooooove Ian and his intelligence and (omi-freaking-god) eyes! I love Stefan and think he is perfect for Elena, but then I also love Damon and his bad boy demeanor. And he is just Bonnie's other half. I can't wait until Shadow Souls comes out, and waiting for Thursday everyday is just KILLING me!

Posted by Casey on February 12, 2010 at 11:25 PM EST #

He is soo hot and his charater is even hotter. But I wish Damon showed moe interest in Elena. If the show keeps going the way it is, it will be the same thing. Damon wanting Katheryn back and Elena and Stephan loving each other. It could get boring.

Posted by Maria on February 13, 2010 at 04:18 PM EST #

HE'S SOOO HOTT!!!v I LOVE HIM!! <3

Posted by Sydney on February 13, 2010 at 05:34 PM EST #

I LOVE DAMON AND IAN.. ALL I WISH IS THAT I COULD MEET HIM.. I WOULD LOVE THAT... IV NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT.. AND HE IS MAINLY THE ONLY GUY I THINK IS CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by kinsie sandlin on February 14, 2010 at 12:09 AM EST #

Damon/Ian is soo soo hot i luv him! stefen/paul is also soo soo hot Nina/Elena is also very hot these 3 charachtors are my most fav Bnnie/katerin is also my fav too. i L-O-V-E the vampire diaries i can't wait till the next episode of the vampire diaries it's soo sad that damon finds out that katherin was never in the tomb and that katherin never actually loved damon. i wonder wats going to happen next on the vampire diaries. i can't wait tell thursday and friday too see the next episode of the vampire diaries. I LOVE THE SHOW THE VAMPIRE DIARIES!! LUV ya: Nina Dobrev Paul Wesly and Ian Somerhalder

Posted by Teana on February 14, 2010 at 08:17 PM EST #

He is gorgeous...oh my gosh. But I his character, even though his character is hot as well, is an ass. I really do not like Damon. I really want Elena and Stefan to stay together :) They are an amazing couple.. <3

Posted by Laura Parker on February 14, 2010 at 11:34 PM EST #

HE. IS. SO. HOT!

Posted by Elena on February 15, 2010 at 03:28 AM EST #

damon is sooooo hot but he is also a jerk. but i just think that he's that way becaue he's in soo much pain from katherin so i think (and know) thats why he acts that way. and i agree with missy 110% because there is more to a guy then sexyness, and you can tell there is more to ian/damon then just he looks. love the vampire diaries ian paul nina<3

Posted by brenda on February 17, 2010 at 10:40 AM EST #

cool... I usually never watch TV, but Vampire Diaries is worth it. Ian Somerhalder if you ever reads this, I just want to let you know, I know a lot of girls out there are all drooling over your looks, and they don't care about much else. But I think your a great actor. You portray Damon so well it's almost scary. Keep up the good work!

Posted by Jexi on February 19, 2010 at 10:47 AM EST #

Aw! Jexi im with you girl! Damons a great actor!!!

Posted by Kaitlyn on February 25, 2010 at 07:13 PM EST #

luv this show!!! All the actors fit the characters! How can you not think that!? Stefan and Elena are such a cute couple. But Damon is a real jerk. I think he just needs a good friend. Who ever created this show is a genuis!!! And its all thanks to L.J. Smith! And thanks to the crew of Vampire Diaries! And to Camie A. i agree with you. dk know about bonnie and damon. How? shes scared of him. He almost killed her. Damon not so sweet. Stefan is sweet. He save alot of people. Damon not so much. Kathrine and Elena thats it.

Posted by Hallie on February 25, 2010 at 09:02 PM EST #

Vampire Diaries i think is a life lesson on love for young girls who think they know everything about boys. But they dnt. I mean look at caroline. bearly any boys like her because the way she acts. Matt likes her thats it. its because she a bitch and puts people down all the time. shes just jealous. But stefan is freakin goreous. when he first took his shirt off i was like mouth dropping mode. Elena is a lucky girl to ahve him. And i admire her. she is a role model for girls.
