"Haha, so what about Ian Somerhalder? Of Damon's abilities which one do you want to have most? " The hostess asks Ian. Ian thinks for a while and pouts a little, then says, "I think the ability of controlling other people's minds is cool. He just looks directly into people's eyes to let'em do what he wants them to do. But it's very dangerous. He can also read others' minds and enter people's inner worlds. He can make people feel illusions as well. "
"Have you ever met embarrassing moments on set? "
"Yep. I said wrong lines by accident and I couldn't recite some of it. I had no idea where the lines came from or what they meant. I've got several classical times speaking the wrong lines. " Ian turns and makes faces towards the shooting machine.
The hostess goes on digging Ian's interesting experiences. "So what about in reality? "
"There're fans who want me to bite them. This is obviously not a good idea and I, on the other hand, feel very embarrassed. Besides, it's not very clean. "
"Do you guys play tricks on each other? "
This question clearly arises up the crew's happy atmosphere.
Ian clears his throat. "Paul has played tricks on Nina but no one plays against me. They are quite clever. "
The screen turns to Nina. Nina turns and glares at Ian, laughing, "Get over yourself, Damon. "
Ian is amused to laughing by Nina's lovely face thing.
The hostess chuckles. "Do you have the potential ability to become a bad guy? "
"Mmm-Hmm, good question. " Ian casually rises his eyebrows while Nina concentrate her attention looking at him answering the question and other crew members look quite excited. "First of all, I wanna say, I'm not a crazy killer but I do find some common points between myself and Damon. In fact, Damon is lonely and we all know how it feels. There're two reasons for his coming back, his brother and his girlfriend. I know how it feels to compete with brother and I'm also clear about the feelings of losing or having no girlfriend. So I think, Damon and I have a lot in common. I really appreciate him. I find I can't criticize him even though sometimes his behaviours make it difficult for people not to hate. But totally speaking, all he does is because of love. So Damon thinks all he does can be forgiven. For me, it's a great opportunity to act Damon."
….
"OK, the last question, are you going to devote all yourself to TVD? "
"The Vampire Diaries is a good story and I'll surely do my best. Of course, it might be a little busy when the next working period begins. Lost is not finished yet and I have to run between those two sides, but I assure that both Lost and VD will be wonderful. " Ian assures.
Nina sitting beside him during the interview is beyond happy. She feels like being one of the audiences who sits next to Ian and watches Ian's interview on live and hears his evaluations to the Vampire Diaries all by herself. These all makes her feel beyond satisfaction. After all, they don't talk too much about the topics that are not related to VD and this interview is just like chatting together. Her eye thing of worship is seen obviously on the screen.
