Ian Joseph Salmerhalder (the vampire diaries)

Ian started modeling when he was ten years old and continued that until he was seventeen

Ian Somerhalder was born on December 8, 1978, in Louisiana, USA

Ian has mentioned that he had quite a troublesome childhood as his parents constantly fought with each other. They divorced when Ian was thirteen years old, and this had a deep impact on him. He was then taken into custody by his mother, who was an avid follower of eastern medicine and pushed him from early childhood to lead a healthy life

Being an active and athletic kid, Ian loved outdoor sports like horse riding and soccer

Ian didn’t finish his high school education and left for Europe midway to pursue modeling

He also showed a keen interest in writing and said that if he wasn’t an actor or model, he would have made a career in writing or advertising

Apart from acting and modeling, Ian is actively engaged in philanthropic work

If I wasn’t an actor, I’d be a marine biologist

I can write in cursive with my feet

Fast food freaks me out.

The thing I miss most about my hometown– Covington, Louisiana– is being immersed in nature

When I need to get away, I hook my Airstream trailer to my Audi hybrid and disappear deep into the wilderness.

Spaghetti Westerns are my favorite movies.

I won’t eat Tangerines on Tuesdays

My guilty pleasure is Cap’n Crunch
