Vampire Diaries 24/7

Ian Somehalder has admitted that he is freaked out by blood! The actor, who plays hot vampire Damon Salvatore in hit US show The Vampire Diaries has revealed that his dislike was "a little strange", but added that he manages to overcome it when getting into character.

"I actually don't like blood. It freaks me out, a little bit," Ian Somerhalder said yesterday. "But when you think about being hungry, and you think about a time when you were stuck on a plane or you were somewhere without food, or you see people who are starving in the world, and you think about how intense that is, and then you imagine being a vampire and having 160 years of life experience. So, trying to inhabit someone who has that much knowledge of the world is a feat."

Somerhalder also added that he loves playing the 'free-spirited and light-hearted', not to mention HOT Salvatore brother. "He is a lot of fun, and I've been really lucky in this role, he's the most fun character I've ever had the opportunity to play."
