We’re catching up on some tidbits, so there will be a few posts coming your way. But first up, a special reminder that Ian Somerhalder’s appearance on Live with Regis & Kelly airs tomorrow morning, Monday, January 18th. Check your local listings for times on their website.
Speaking of Mr. Somerhalder, he shares a very amusing anecdote involving Damon, Lexi, and Matthew Fox’s 12-year old daughter over at TV Guide Magazine. Not gonna lie – we kind of love her. (Read the entire story at TV Guide Magazine.)
“It’s 1:30 in the morning—there’s a six hour time difference between Hawaii and Atlanta—and Matthew calls me and says, ‘Listen, dude, she wants to talk to you. You need to justify some things to her. She’s not happy with you.’ So she drilled me with these questions and I was explaining my actions and saying, ‘There are times when you find yourself in situations that you may have to hurt someone for the betterment of the family, which is what Damon was doing.’ And every time I’d start explaining something, she’d go ‘Yep, uh huh. And…?’ It was an interesting hour for me!”
Unreality Primetime has some Ian London press which yields a few interesting nuggets (Damon’s age when he turned? 23). He talks about the usual, but it was his personal influences for Damon that made us smile:
Who or what were your influences when deciding on how to play the character of Damon?
“Three big ones. Josh Holloway, (Sawyer in Lost) Cary Grant and Dionysus. The marriage of a crazy crass redneck with the class of an eloquent man like Cary Grant is an interesting way to play a crazy well rounded 150 year old guy who likes a dance and the finer things in life – like blood, wine and Beethoven. Then you add in Dionysus – Damon is essentially Bacchus, he is that figure.”
And here we have a brief video chat with Ian and Nina Dobrev backstage at the TCA’s, in which Nina reveals a secret talent. We don’t know about you, but we are now earwormed. Thanks to VDO for the heads up.
