The Salvatore brothers may have their ups and downs on The Vampire Diaries, but it’s all love behind the scenes between Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley.
Fans of The Vampire Diaries were pretty much done for the minute Damon Salvatore showed up at Stefan’s door and said his signature, “hello, brother.” Ever since then, Ian “Smolderhalder” and his blue eyes have taken deep root in our hearts and won’t let go.
When you’re on a TV show with someone for 8 years, you’re bound to develop a pretty close relationship with them. In spite of the long hours on set and the fact that the cast of The Vampire Diaries is somewhat isolated from the rest of Hollywood because they film in Atlanta, Georgia, they’ve all become very good friends.
That being said, there’s always been something special about the relationship between the boys behind the Salvatore brothers, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. Just like the rest of us, Paul was smitten right from his very first “fang fitting,” where he and Ian met. Watching the adorable bromance between Paul and Ian has been a highlight for fans of The Vampire Diaries ever since.
Now that The Vampire Diaries is coming to an end, we’re going to have to face the fact that we won’t get to see as much of these two as we’d all like to. So, to celebrate all that they’ve given us over the past 8 years, and to appreciate that Paul loves Ian just as much as we do, we’ve compiled some of Paul’s most “aww” worthy displays of affection towards Ian.
