While speaking about the show’s audition process, Nina shared that she had been dating an actor who was being considered for the role of Damon Salvatore. “They were gonna choose him, but they ended up not choosing him,” she said without revealing the actor’s name. “But I got cast. And then it got awkward.”

The pair didn’t last much longer after that, with Nina adding: “We broke up.”

The part eventually went to Ian Somerhalder, who the actress dated form 2010 to 2013. They stayed friends after their split.

Rounding out the show’s love triangle was Paul Wesley as Stefan, though Nina said she ended up doing chemistry reads with over a dozen actors.

As fans of the show well know, the part of Damon ultimately went to Ian Somerhalder, who Dobrev dated between 2010 and 2013. The pair have remained friends despite their split.

While she acknowledged the chemistry she had with Ian and Paul, she added she “had chemistry with a lot of people.”

“I also felt like a broken record, because at this point I’m there for four hours saying the same words,” she said. “They all started looking the same and blending into one another.”

Nina recently hit the red carpet with her current boyfriend Shaun White and you can see all the photos of them here.
