"Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder took some time off on Wednesday, Dec. 3, to go online on Facebook to answer the questions from his millions of fans. During his Facebook Q&A, the 35-year-old heartthrob actor revealed who his inspiration and role model in life is in response to question that a fan posted on the social networking site.
"Hey there The Vampire Diaries peeps! Got questions about what lurks beneath the surface of Mystic Falls? Ask me at my Facebook Q&A starting right now!

According to a Wet Paint report, one fan asked who Ian Somerhalder's original inspiration and role model was as a person growing up. The TVD star responded that it is none other than his mother, Edna Somerhalder.
"She operates from such a genuine place of compassion, wisdom and an ultimate understanding of the interconnectedness between all of us as people, as creatures, and as part of the same ecosystem," Somerhalder explained. It is now clear that the reason why Ian Somerhalder is a person that cares about other people, animals and the environment is because of the way that his mother raised him.
Aside from inspiring other people to make a change through his Ian Somerhalder Foundation (ISF), the "Vampire Diaries" actor also gets involved in other people, animal or environmental projects such as the cleanup for the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling disaster and the "It Gets Better" project that is geared towards the LGBT youth.
Afterwards, Ian Somerhalder thanked the fans who participated in his Facebook Q&A. "It was so fun chatting with you all. Enjoy your #givingtuesday and enter in (it's only $10 to enter!!) for a chance to hang with me in Mystic Falls and shoot a bonus scene
