Hollywood typically casts 20-something actors as teens, primarily due to labor laws. The Vampire Diaries was no different, with most of the cast members in their early to mid-20s when the teen drama began. By the time Tvd ended after eight seasons, its actors had aged. Ian Somerhalder was one of the oldest on the show, so how old was he while on The Vampire Diaries?

Somerhalder swooped in as the brooding and impulsive Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries in June 2009. The star was 30 when he began playing a character over a century old. But Damon had become a vampire at 25, hence his youthful appearance. That’s five years younger than Somerhalder when he debuted as the character.

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed stepped out together for the Pttow! Summit: Love & Courage charity event in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, on Tuesday. The couple cozied up to one another as they posed for pictures and linked up with 14-year-old Caine Monroy. In case you don't remember, Caine is the boy who, at the age of 9, created an entire arcade using cardboard and creativity called Caine's Arcade.

Naomi Watts literally transforms into Princess Diana in the first poster for ‘Diana.’
Naomi Watts, 44, becomes the late Princess of Wales in the first poster for the highly-anticipated biopic Diana. The poster is ultra glamorous and Naomi shines just like a royal should.
First Poster For ‘Diana’ Biopic
The poster comes a few weeks after the breathtaking trailer debut for Diana. The poster shows Naomi as Diana wearing a magnificent light blue dress, adorned with a regal necklace and earrings. She also has that gorgeous band on her ring finger — the same engagement ring Prince William gave to Kate Middleton in honor of his late mother!
The tagline stresses that we don’t know the whole story about the late Princess of Wales: “The legend is never the whole story.” What a teaser! We want to know more!
Here’s the official description of the biopic, from production company Ecosse Films...
