My Kind Of Wonderful

Ian Somerhalder is featured in the newest issue of Mr. Porter to chat about The Vampire Diaries and his charity project. highlights from the interview can be found below.

On his career as a model in the ’90s: “Yeah, it was nuts. The mid-1990s were like this total Dionysian, promiscuous time in the fashion business. An amazing time to be young and not have any responsibility.”

On being the first killed off on Lost: “It was brutal. Not only are you losing this amazing job, but you’re losing this family on set. Luckily, I was in wine country!”

On starting the Ian Somerhalder Foundation: “I started it in 2010 in response to the BP oil spill. I remember watching President Obama just step aside and let BP do whatever it wanted because it was a big contributor to his campaign. And I felt so powerless, I realised I never wanted to feel that way again.”
