Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley's Banter Is Just as Adorable as They Are
It goes without saying that Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley have one of the best bromances in Hollywood. Yes, they play the Salvatore brothers on The Vampires Diaries, but their friendship goes far beyond the small screen. Since meeting on set in 2009, we've gotten several glimpses of their friendly banter, most recently at Comic-Con, where Paul poked fun at Ian's famous smolder, saying all you have to do is pretend you're in a sandstorm. As the hit show preps for its final season, take a look at the cutest things Ian and Paul have said about each other.
Paul on Ian
- On what he's learned through Ian being married to Nikki Reed: "Now we can't get married and I'm sad about that. That's something I was looking forward to."
- On meeting Ian: "I met Ian at the fang fitting before we shot the pilot . . . He's my bro."
- On what he has Ian on his phone as: "I have you [Ian] on my phone as my girl."
- On what Paul finds most annoying about Ian: "I'm not as annoyed by you [Ian] as other people on set to be honest . . . You know how some people on set, they like chew gum loudly or don't know their lines or something?"
Ian on Paul
- On which The Vampire Diaries cast member makes him laugh the most: "Paul Wesley. As boring as he seems in this interview, he's actually one of the funniest people you've ever met."
- On the moment they became friends: "We went to a fitting to get our fangs fitted . . . He is my bro."
- On what he has Paul on his phone as: "I have him on my phone as Stefan."
- On what Ian finds most annoying about Paul: "To be honest with you, everything that he does and I do pretty much. We spend every day together . . . We all know each other's buttons and we don't purposely push them because we have too much sh*t going on . . . We protect each other and we help each other . . . I find everything annoying about him and nothing at all."
