After eight years of filming "The Vampire Diaries", Ian did not feel lost, and his identity gradually shifted from the front of the stage to the backstage - as a director, a producer... and "Would-be Daddy". He currently has 10 pets and runs several companies to support his wife, Nikki, the Twilight actress. Having a beautiful wife, having children, having pets, and this day is also too happy.

After three days of walking around Beijing, the vampire ring did not leave the body
</h1>
Ian's trip to Beijing was hurried, but he didn't forget to carry a vampire ring with him. The ring is used in the show to help Damon walk in the sun without being burned. In reality, the ring also accompanied him for eight years, longer than his wife Nikki.
"I've been working on this play every day for eight years, and I've been with this ring for a long time." With that, Ian took the ring out of his trouser pocket and showed it to everyone, and skillfully put it on his hand.
Damon is popular with audiences, loyal to his brother and humorous, much like Ian himself, and when asked about the similarities with Damon, Ian plays with little humor: "I really don't have much in common with Damon, I mean hanging around killing people (bad laughs)." ”
Ian believes that it doesn't take a lot of preparation to fit into the character — running to drink ten bottles of bourbon, sleeping with 25 women, "life is hard enough in this world, and it's important to have fun".
<h1>I wanted to paint and become a different kind of artist</h1>
In addition to trying to be a director, he also created a production company with his wife Nikki, who will shoot and produce some works in the future, and will also consider cooperating with Excellent Chinese resources.
Compared with being an actor, turning behind the scenes has inspired Ian to be more enthusiastic about his artistic creation, "My most exciting experience as a director is that what you have in front of you is a blank canvas, and you have to plan and design it with the art department and the producer." 」 ”
Ian would negotiate a plan with the set on Monday, and on Thursday, the set crew would set up a complete world for him, and then he would just take the actors to build another world on this basis, "I hope I can draw and become another kind of artist." 」 Being a director is the best way you can draw beautiful poses. I like that. ”
And being a producer made Ian feel big, "Nikki will teach me." If you really like it, it won't be so difficult. ”
<h1>In order to support his wife, he got up at five o'clock to make tea and cook and walk the dog</h1>
Ian is an absolute wife-showman, and in a brief interview, he mentions his wife Nikki many times, and has a smile on his lips. Today (May 5th), Ian posted a photo of himself kissing his wife's belly, announcing the good news that he wants to be a father, and the picture is warm and loving.

"In my 38 years, I have never experienced anything more powerful and wonderful... It was the most special moment of my life. ”
Their second wedding anniversary just passed, and on the same day, Ian also posted a sweet little video of himself accompanying Nikki to record on Instagram, and then posted a group photo, affectionate confession, fancy dog abuse.
In life, their relationship is sweet like lovers. At work, the two are good partners, "Nikki has been very supportive of my work for many years, and now it is my turn to support her career." ”
In order to support Nikki's career, Ian also fought, he would get up at five o'clock in the morning, make tea and make breakfast, walk the dog and feed the dog, these are all things Nikki used to do, "I think it is very important to maintain a balance between life and work, but I never think that finding such a balance is a kind of dedication."
Ian's most famous previous relationship was with Nina Dubov, the heroine of "The Vampire Diaries", who fell in love because of the drama, but eventually broke up, which once made fans very disappointed. In 2014, Ian began to picnic with Nikki, and in 2015 he married in a low-key manner.
Being able to make friends between the past and the present has to admire Ian's emotional intelligence. A few days ago, he posted a group photo of the three people, is it very harmonious?

<h1>The stall was too full, and the best meal was the small noodles on the street
Visit Shichahai, Tiananmen, do live broadcasting... Ian says he loves Beijing. However, because his work schedule was too full, until the next day the best meal he had was a bowl and noodles on the street!
Talking about Beijing food, Ian's eyes immediately lit up, "Will we have a big dinner tonight?" ”
The staff asked, "So what do you want to eat?" ”
"Da Dong roast duck!"
This isn't Ian's first time in China, as early as 2003, Ian magically made a cameo appearance in Di Si Man 2. In the play, Ian became the first international friend to join the Di si men's series, and took over the baton of Teacher Wang Xuebing to continue to teach Dapeng to speak English.
A large number of "Vampire Diaries" fans said that they would change their pursuit of "Di Si Men 2" and expressed "envy and jealousy" for Dapeng to play with Ian. The relationship with China is not shallow, no wonder Ian is not ambiguous when he talks about Chinese.
