The two friends met at a fang fitting at the dental office and it's already when the two remember being drastically different. While Wesley was convinced that the show was not going to be picked up, Somerhalder was already thinking he'd spend the next five years with Wesley. They shot the pilot in Vancouver. On their way there, in an interview with...
Their bond was immediate according to Somerhalder. After getting their roles on The Vampire Diaries, Wesley and Somerhalder got apartments in the same apartment building before starting season 1, so they could run lines whenever they wanted. “We spent a lot of beautiful, perfect summer Georgia evenings. You know, just sort of, like, sitting there t...
As they like to say, they worked together for 8 years and their characters complemented each other on-screen. Despite that, Wesley mentions in People, they are like opposites and they also bring the opposite to the table. According to Wesley, "Ian's like the eternal optimist, eternally happy", while he often worries about stuff that might go wrong....
Unlike the brother rivalry on the show, Wesley, and Somerhalder are, according to themselves, very nice and touchy with each other. Paul has mentioned in interviews that Ian likes to hug him or give him cheek kisses, and in another interview, Paul even said they had cuddled before on the set. This might have been a joke, but considering how they ac...
Tying into the previous fact, not only do they touch and cuddle a lot, but they seem to be extremely comfortable being in each other's personal spaces. During interviews, they touch a lot, Paul teases Ian with his hand on Ian's leg, or they joke around and hit each other playfully.

While their brotherhood nearly began with a prank, Ian remembers backing out of the one he had planned for Paul, according to Cosmo. He went into Paul's trailer and put plastic wrap over his toilet. But he remembers thinking that he'll have to spend years working with him, so he changed his mind. Paul was not as gentle with Ian - in one of the cons...
Out of the two brothers, Ian's character is the one that makes it out alive in the end, while Stefan sadly permanently dies. In an interview withAccessHollywood, they admitted they both wanted to die at the end of the show because they wanted the brothers to go out with a bang. "Ultimately these guys came into town, they destroyed everything, you k...
Many people might have missed this, but Wesley and Somerhalder became collaborators on a rather interesting project during Covid time. Given how much bourbon the brothers Salvatore drank on the show, it makes complete sense that Paul and Ian would fall in love with the beverage and create their brand. Appropriately called Brother's Bond Bourbon, it...
It's not unusual for long-term actors to try themselves at directing their show, and Paul and Ian were no exceptions. Paul Wesley directed five episodes in whole, with his directorial debut being in season 5. He's mentioned several times that directing has been a dream of his.

While the on-screen brothers still have deep respect and love for each other, and a lot of gratitude for the opportunities they've been given, they both agree some chapters are better left finished. When asked about whether they'd even be interested in returning to the show as Damon and Stefan, their reply was unanimous. Neither of them can imagine...
