Ian


Why do people hate him? I'm new to the party so I've missed out on all the gossip

I agree with one of the first posters, I'm a little late to the party (only recently started and got up to date on all TVD seasons). I found Damon's character fascinating and became quite obsessed with Ian Somerhalder (as you do!) so caught up on everything that had happened irl since. I can appreciate fans targeting his wife must be tough and is partially responsible for how he behaves but he seems so rude and aloof in interviews since he broke up with Nina, esp about her potential return and Delena. I kind of wish he'd take a leaf out of Daniel Gillies' book and just do his job and be a professional (DG said in an interview he didn't have.an opinion about who his love interest was onscreen cos that's his job, to just do it and be an actor).

Even when the questions aren't about Nina or Delena, Ian seems rude and will talk over other actors and be quite dismissive. I'm a bit disappointed by his behaviour. Him and Nina did have amazing chemistry onscreen(which was no doubt down to their real relationship) but the shift in him in interviews pre and post breakup is massive. He did seem to move on and get engaged/married very quick but then celebrities seem to do that a lot!
