Ian Somerhalder Talks About Life on the Set of the Vampire Diaries Season 5

Actor Ian Somerhalder is back as the irresistible vampire Damon Salvatore. Ian discussed in an interview about his busy life on the Atlanta set of the Vampire Diaries Season 5 after filming "The Anomaly" in London and the Azzaro fragrance ad photo shoot in Italy.

The 34-year-old actor has been posting messages as well on the social networking site Twitter to update his almost 4 million followers about what is happening on the set. "1^st day of shooting season 5 of The Vampire Diaries - break a leg today everyone! It's HOT, no doubt welcome home to Mystic Falls people!" Ian posted on his Twitter account @iansomerhalder.

He further shared: "He's back... Shooting 1^st scene of Season 5 right now." To further excite the fans, Ian tweeted that he is holding the Vampire Diaries script in his hands with an attached Instagram photo as evidence.

During an interview with EntertainmentWise, Ian revealed that being a part of the hit TV series is comparable to being married to it and the cast since they spend most of their time together. "Being on a television show is sort of like a marriage so it's nice. Lovers need space from their togetherness. Actors need space from their television show. So it's a nice little bit of separation," Ian stated.

The Vampire Diaries cast has been working on other projects during their well-deserved break but they will be reuniting to work again on the fifth season of the show. Co-star Kat Graham divulged that the cast loves to bond together, go out for a meal and even hang out after a busy day on the set.

"We go to dinner a lot as a cast together so I really love that. I love food and I love family. We have these huge, long table dinners and they're really fun. We are a cast that really does love each other and hang out together," Graham told OK! U.S. edition.

Ian's return on the Vampire Diaries set had the fans and media wonder how he deals with seeing and working with ex-girlfriend Nina Dobrev. However, insiders continue to insist that the set will not have an uncomfortable environment even though Ian and Nina broke up.
