Ian Somerhalder

Vampire Diaries heartthrob Ian Somerhalder will soon be stepping away from his role as a sexy vampire, to star in the new action thriller film The Anomaly alongside Luke Hemsworth.

According to ComingSoon, the new film will explore the issue of global terrorism, and “follows the travails of a traumatized ex-soldier who wakes up in the back of a van, alongside a kidnapped boy, to find that he only has only nine minutes and 37 seconds of consciousness to work out why and how he got there.”

Ian and the rest of the cast have already begun filming the movie in London, and will be directed by Noel Clarke.

News broke early this morning that The Vampire Diaries couple Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have officially split up, as reported by US Weekly. The pair met on the set of their hit CW show, where they play Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore, and have been dating for the last three years.

According to a source, Nina and Ian are “consummate professionals, and will continue to work together and remain best friends, which is where the relationship started.”

Nina has been busy in the past couple weeks, vacationing with some girlfriends in Miami before heading to New York, where she has been spotted at The Great Gatsby Premiere, The GinZing Moisturizer Launch, and The 2013 Met Gala.

Nina and Ian, along with the rest of the Vampire Diaries cast have all finished filming the fourth season of the show, and are now on hiatus before they return in few months to begin filming season five.

During the summer, Nina is set to film a new movie Let’s Be Cops with New Girl‘s Jake Johnson.

Are YOU sad to see Nina and Ian split?

Actress Nina Dobrev has found herself the subject of a new round of rumors, suggesting that her Vampire Diaries co-star and boyfriend Ian Somerhalder proposed to her. The rumors also said that Nina declined Ian’s proposal!

Thankfully, the 23-year-old star cleared up the rumors while talking with Access Hollywood.

“I’d heard some crazy story that I’d been proposed to, but I would be wearing a ring if I had one,” Nina said, stating that the rumor is “Not true at all.”

“I mean, that’s not my ,” she added. “I’m young. I’m really young.” She continued. “It’s not like back in the day where you have to get married and have your children by 18, I’m a career woman and a young, very driven woman and I’ve got a lot I have to accomplish before I settle down and have kids and do any of that.”

Ian also spoke out on the rumors, confirming that they were false. “It’s not true,” Ian said. “If it were true, I would admit to it, ‘cause getting turned down builds character!”

Don’t forget to watch Nina and Ian on-screen every Thursday night on the Vampire Diaries!
