Taking a break from his busy "Vampire Diaries" schedule, Ian Somerhalder garnered himself a little added exposure by
covering the September/October 2012 issue of Essential Homme
magazine.
Looking handsome as ever, the 33-year-old
actor donned an Armani Exchange cardigan for the Matthew Lyn shot front page
while talking about everything from acting to rumors that he wants the lead role
in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" film adaptation.
On the challenges of being an
actor:
"Much of life is like a television show.
You have ups and downs. You never know where it's going to go. And yes, it's
iffy as an actor, because you're at the mercy of the writers' imaginations.
You're ultimately subjected to exactly what they want and you have to deal with
it."
On taking his young audience
seriously:
"If you empower a 15-year-old kid, or a
17-year-old kid who turns 18 in October, who can vote in November - if you
empower that young person to understand what's going on in the world around
them, how certain politics and environmental implications are going to not serve
them very well later on in life - are going to affect the way that they grow up
and their children grow up - you affect that young person. They become
empowered, and an empowered young person is the coolest thing in the world. And
untimely, that's where change comes in."
