Toss Some Beads Over Here, Ian!

Ian Somerhalder [1] took smoldering to a whole new level [2] at the Krewe of Endymion Parade in New Orleans on Saturday. The Vampire Diaries star — and Louisiana native — got playful throwing show-themed beads and cups (with his face on them [3]) at the crowd but then turned things sexy as he licked the necklaces, blew kisses at the crowd, and even showed off his musical side with a trombone. Try not to faint as you scroll through the photos and videos below, which include him as a cop, crazy selfies, purple boas, a tip of his fedora, and that signature smirk. And the icing on the king cake? He also brought along his mom and sister!
