"The Vampire Diaries", Ian Somerhalder plays in which already the third season, initially resembled "Twilight", and, therefore, not everyone liked. But, over time, it became clear that the characters here are much more multifaceted and ambiguous. In fact, the role in the "Vampire Diaries" by Ian Somerhalder is one of the most striking and special. If initially he appears in the "Vampire Diaries" as a cruel and prudent killer, then, over time, everything changes. We begin to understand what made the vampire exactly like this and why his cruelty borders on love and dedication. "Diaries" is the first for last years, beautiful and interesting saga about vampires. Perhaps, after the series "Buffy", was not filmed a single decent series, except this. Of course, now not only the "Diaries" broadcast on the screens, but also one more series, titled "True Blood." But it does not fit into the already established canon of serials about the supernatural, that's why it's difficult to compare it with the "Diaries".
But, still, back to the performer of the role of Damon. Ian is the oldest on the set, except for actors who play adults. He was born on December 8, 1978, in Covington, Louisiana. This town was small and cozy. Ian could rest here in nature, go in for horse riding and fish. But, in addition, little Somerhalder had time to practice in the school drama club, perform with a local troupe and even become a model. Already at the age of ten, a beautiful boy every summer earned his living by shooting in New York. But, nevertheless, Somerhalder never saw himself as a model. When it interfered with him, the guy gave up his model career without any regrets and devoted all his free time to study and sports. But, in due course, the guy nevertheless grew up and revised his decision. When he was seventeen years old, Ian got the opportunity to work as a model in Europe. Such prospects interested him. He wanted to travel and see the world. Thanks to the shooting, the guy was able to visit Paris, Milan and London. But, after that, Ian began to learn acting skills and work with the famous teacher William Esper. When the boy turned nineteen years old, he definitely decided that he did not want anything but to become an actor and play on stage. Of course, initially everything was not so simple, but once Ian got into the crowd of the movie "Black and White". Then, probably, fate intervened, since the shooting was a manager who was looking for talent. It is still not clear how he noticed the guy, but Somerhalder was lucky and soon he was signed with the contract for the shooting. Since that time in the life of the guy everything has changed. He finally managed to settle in New York, a city he simply adores, learn acting, write, do yoga and ski, both aquatic and classical.
If we talk about the childhood of Jena, it is worth noting that his parents divorced when the boy was thirteen years old. The boy was brought up by his mother, who was a very religious person, therefore, Ian studied at Catholic schools. By the way, in the blood of Jena there are a lot of different nationalities. His father Robert has French and English roots, and Emma's mother is the roots of Irish and Choctaw Indians. In the family, Jena has two more children: his sister Robin and brother Robert.
Remembering about the preferences of Jena, first of all it is worthwhile to focus on music. Ian is not a fan of a certain style, but gives preference to orchestral rock. He likes music to be calm and melodic. His favorite film is "Graduate", and among philosophers Ian shares the views of Friedrich Nietzsche. Also, the guy loves the smell of cologne Dolce and Gabanna and red wine. If we talk about how an actor likes to spend time, then for him the best way to relax is yoga or communication with relatives. Also, the guy plays baseball, rides a horse, shoots a bow and rifle, rides a bicycle, and also likes to drive the ball playing European football. Speaking of the idols of Jena, his favorite actor is Sean Penn. Somerhalder adores the turquoise color and hates it when asked about the modeling career. The guy does not want to be treated like a cute kid, who gets everything because of his appearance.
Ian has a scar on his chin, he occasionally smokes, but this is not his bad habit. When a guy is asked about his first kiss, he says it happened when he was in fifth grade and went with the girl to the ice rink.
By the way, Ian really likes cleanliness. He himself admits that sometimes this love already looks like fanaticism. The actor can shower three times a day, although he realizes that this is probably not quite normal. The guy always has a blush on his cheeks, which is his distinctive feature. But more of his fans do not recognize by blush, but in the eyes of a surprising blue-green color. Ian also has a great body. At one time, he worked hard and swayed to be able to receive major male roles in interesting projects.
In addition, Ian, like his colleague on the "Vampire Diaries", Nina Dobrev, is actively engaged in charity and tries to help those who really need it. When the Yen is asked who he would be if he could not become an actor, the young man responds that, in that case, he would most likely stop at the profession of a writer or biologist, or maybe find his place in promoting advertising. But, fortunately, Ian Somerhalder still achieved exactly what he wanted, and now he shines on TV screens, falling in love with a lot of young girls. His charm and beauty really amaze, and the ability to play so that the audience believes - causes admiration and respect. Ian is a new star of TV screens, depicting a bad guy, who falls in love more than in good.
