‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Would Be ‘Lucky’ To Have Ian Somerhalder

Posted on July 27, 2012 by Siobhan

Rumours have been circling of the favourites to star in the movie production of Fifty Shades of Grey, an erotic novel that originally began life as Twilight fan fiction. Fitting then, that our very own vampire has reached the top of many favourite choices lists. Hollywood Life reports the following from Ian’s The Vampire Diaries co-star Kat Graham:

Ian Somerhalder has been mounting a campaign for months now to win himself the part of Christian Grey in the upcoming film adaptation of the book Fifty Shades of Grey, and one of his Vampire Diaries co-stars thinks he’d be perfect for the job.

We spoke to Kat Graham, who plays Bonnie on the show, at the Teen Choice Awards on July 22, and she had nothing but great things to say about the idea of Ian being in the film.

“Put him in it! Listen to the fans! Ian is so great, Ian can do everything… Ian is so incredibly talented that he could literally do anything and I hope that with our show schedule that is so crazy that he could work around that. But I think he is better then everything, they would be lucky to have him!” she raved. Looks like Ian can add another co-worker to the list of those backing him for the role!

Isn’t it lovely to hear his co-stars saying such wonderful things about Ian? How do you feel about Ian starring in this love it or hate it franchise?

But wait, there’s more!

A new tease for “The Vampire Diaries” season 4 has arrived and it reveals that Elena (Nina Dobrev) is going to remember a very key moment she had with Damon (Ian Somerhalder). Apparently, this key moment is not going to be when Elena first met Damon before her parent’s fatal accident. Instead, it is going to be from the time “when Damon told her he loved her,” in her room. That is, before he swooshed out the window, leaving her there without any memory of what he had just said. “But unlike past flashbacks we’ve seen,” TV Guide‘s Natalie Abrams said, “Elena doesn’t realize right away that she’s watching a memory from the past, rather than experiencing a moment in the present.”

Ian has also been talking about the fourth season of the show, is Damon back to his evil ways for series 4?

Sorry, Delena fans, but don’t expect Damon to keep making moon eyes at Elena. Can you blame the guy? She did choose his brother in the finale.

“She chose Stefan (Paul Wesley), so I’m sure there’s some hot vamp sex there,” Ian jokes. “When she gets tired of Stefan, who knows? Maybe she’ll come to Damon?” (We bet that statement just launched a thousand Tumblr posts.)

“[Damon]‘s not going to be pining. This is the season of no pine…Seasons two and three, he did everything they wanted him to do. He tried to be the person they wanted him to be. Guess what? None of it worked,” Ian says.

Ology Interview: Ian Somerhalder (‘The Vampire Diaries’) Saves The World, Talks Elena Endgame

Posted on February 4, 2012 by Michelle

One glimpse at The Vampire Diaries’ badass Damon Salvatore might have given you and Terron R. Moore the impression that the man behind his madness is just as reckless as his brutal alter-ego. But you’d be wrong. Ology flew down to Atlanta and discovered the truth: Ian Somerhalder is trying to save the world.

OLOGY: What’s your Ology?

IAN SOMERHALDER: ConserveOlogy. I’m all about conservation.

If I can ask, what made you get involved and create The Ian Somerhalder Foundation? A lot of people want to create social change, but people don’t always do something about it.

Just being from a really delicate ecosystem—I’m from the Gulf Coast in Louisiana—so it’s literally one of the most delicate ecosystems in the world. It’s so unique and amazing. 45% of all the wetlands in America are in Louisiana where I grew up. If we lose those, we’re screwed. Which we pretty much did, after BP. And that feeling of helplessness… I decided that no one should ever feel that way.

So our organization is all about empowering people through education. And it’s unfortunate, but the education in this country is lacking. There’s a lack of information out there, but the positive spin on that is that there’s so much media and social networking that we can now transfer information so quickly. And it’s really catching on. It’s absolutely awe-inspiring.

That sounds awesome.

I mean, think about it- 50% of all species will be extinct in 50 years, if we don’t do something about it.

How do you find time to do all of this?

No. [Expletive]. Idea. (Laughs) But the youth of the world… they’re a powerful group. It’s a new Generation X. And our outreach goes as far as Pakistan, India, Afghanistan… and then there’s the ISF Kids Army, and it’s kids from 6 to 15. A year and a half ago, a 6-year old girl sent ISF her tooth fairy money. She wanted to change the world. 6 years old. And she said “I know I don’t have a voice, but I want one.” So we said, okay, we’ll give you a voice. And now this kid has like 10,000 twitter followers. She’s 7 now, and she’s protesting and yelling and screaming at Obama and rallying all of these kids together. She sent me a picture [of her protest] and I retweeted it and it had over a million hits in a few days.

Wow, that’s really cool.

Yeah, there’s kids like that all over that don’t have a voice, but now these little guys get together and figure it out- they’re setting up recycling programs, they’re turning off their TVs when they leave… even showing their parents better ways to do things. It’s crazy. 

So let’s talk about The Vampire Diaries. Damon has done a lot of wrong to Elena over the years, but his reasoning for that has been good… right?

Yeah, killing someone’s brother is clearly the best way to say ‘I love you’! (Laughs) But there’s reasons we do everything.

So why is Damon so cynical?

You know, humor is a medicine for pain. It’s like a Band-Aid. There’s so much pain in these guys’ lives, and they use humor as medicine. And it works.

With the fanbase the way it is, people are very adamant that Elena be with either Damon or Stefan. But in your opinion, you see a point where the show ends and Elena doesn’t end up with one of the Salvatore boys?

Oh, I could totally see that. I mean, I think that the best thing for her would be to not end up with a Salvatore. But it’ll be tough. I have no idea. I mean, I think she’d be crazy to be with one of them. But love is weird, and love is odd. People always talk about this Damon and Elena relationship, and I just can’t see that happening. I mean, he is pretty enticing, and suave, and he’s charming. But he’s a dick. He really is.
