Nina Dobrev Chats FAM With W Magazine

Nina Dobrev sat down with W magazine to promote her new series, FAM. The young actress’ new series will premiere on CBS on January 10. Highlights from her interview are below.

On choosing to do FAM: “I wasn’t really looking, to be honest. This was an opportunity that came up, and I had never done a sitcom before. I’m a massive fan of Friends, and the genre had really intrigued me, but I didn’t know much about it.… I was a little apprehensive [about returning to TV] at first, but honestly, finding a great character and great people that you want to work with is such a blessing, and such a great thing.”

On filming the episodes live: “The very first live show was absolutely terrifying, and I felt like I was going to die. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that much anxiety in my life. But with every show after that, it went away a little bit more and more, to the point where it is still there. I fear the day when I have zero anxiety, because that’s what makes me feel alive.… I’ve always wanted to do theater, and hopefully this is a stepping stone toward achieving that goal. Maybe next time we’re hanging out over drinks in the city, I’ll be in a play.”
