How old are the characters from The Vampire Diaries?
I dont know about all of you out there but i love knowing how old actors are!
So i did some research on the cast of The Vampire Diaries and found some shocking ages!
Nina Dobrev/Elena Gilbert- Born January 9th 1989 which makes her almost 21 years old! WOW!
Paul Wesley/Stefan Salvatore- Born July 23rd 1982 27 years old?!?!
Ian Somerhalder/Damon Salvatore- Born December 8th 1978 31!
Katerina Graham/Bonnie Bennett- Born September 5th 1989 21 years old!
Candice Accola/Caroline Forbes- Born May 13th 1987 23 years old!
Steven R. Mcqueen/ Jeremy Gilbert- Born July 13th 1988 22 years old!
Zach Roerig/Matt Donovan- Born Feburary 22nd 1985 25 years old!
Kayla Ewell/Vicki Donovan- Born August 27th 1985 25 years old!
I think that those ages are crazy! I mean they have people over 20 yeards old playing high school students??
Comment on how much of a shock these ages were to you!

Thanks for posting this.
WOW, cant believe it myself
The ages of the actors don’t surprise me at all actually. They look to be their real age, even if they’re starring in a series as a bunch of teenagers. I never watched an episode of vampire diaries thinking the actors were really in their teens.. they look to be in their 20s.
omg stephan is older than elina that is just really weird. i mean damon is the eldest than all the characters. 31 is way to old. omg vampire diaries is the best show ever
STEFANS MARRIED! WAT!!!!!!
he’s not 31 you idiot, he’s 30
She’s not THAT wrong, he’ll be 31 this December, I’m sure she just made a mistake. You don’t need to call her an idiot!
wow u dnt gotta be such a wench!!!!!
so she was off wow big deal not like u never been off on something anto
okay she made a mistake by calling her an idiot but you really dont gots to be like that.
Ddot
It’s not a mistake when you call people idiots! :b – and it’s totall’ lame that people would call her an idiot just because she got the age wrong man. talk about acting like kids! tssh.
Foreals. That’s just rude. Grow up. Seriously.
Rude and unneccessary to call her and idiot or curse or imply foul language. Let’s be more mature in our choice of words and be grateful that she’s taking time out on her day to do this site.
Ok yer it was mean to call her an idiot but i dont think she meant it in a harsh way and i think its mean that everyone is ganging up on her
Enjoyed lonoikg at this, very good stuff, thanks . A man may learn wisdom even from a foe. by Aristophanes.

thats pretty old! he looks A LOT younger!
very true… and totally hott!
Needed to send you the lttile word to finally say thank you as before regarding the awesome advice you’ve shared in this article. It has been simply tremendously generous with you to provide unhampered all a number of us might have advertised as an electronic book in order to make some money for their own end, certainly considering that you could have tried it in case you decided. Those concepts as well worked as the fantastic way to fully grasp that many people have similar interest just as my very own to find out a great deal more pertaining to this matter. I believe there are millions of more enjoyable instances ahead for folks who see your blog.
whaeva
big difference you prat…oh and BTW you are the idiot
Welll some of them.. like Damon aren’t a shock, but come on Stephen doesn’t even look much past 20! haha.
AND JEREMY !! WOAHHHHHH that was a shocker!
I agree stephen r mcqueen so doesnt look 22. maybe 19 at the oldest! he he good job for posting!
wow you you too are suuuuuuuuuuuch spazzzzzzzes
luv you damon
Damon isn’t playing a high school student, so you can’t really say that his age is shocking, cuz’ do we really know what age he’s supposed to play?
i kinda wish when there are movies or tv series about teenagers they actually cast teenagers, yeah maybe like a yr older then the actuall age of the person, but come on, i reckon it would be better
If they actually cast teenagers to play teenagers, do you really think that the acting would be all that good? I mean these actors that play these characters have the experience that younger ones wouldnt have!
I think in the flashback episode they said he was either 1 or 2 yrs older than Stefan.
Damon isn’t playing a high school student, so you can’t really say that his age is shocking.. Well, do we really know what age he is suppose to play?
hay pero la mera verdad ian somerhalder e sus 31 esta guapisimo
god that’s crazy
I remember seeing Paul Wesley on this one show. And it looked really old, but he doesnt look like hes age much. It was about angels, nebody know that I’m talking about? I’d like to see the second part to it.
It was a movie called “fallen” he also starred on a few epsiode of the OC and other things to see a full list of what hes been in visit “imbd.com” and search paul wesley or any of the other cast members
it was shocking when they mentioned on the show that stefan is 17. made me chuckle cuase he looks his rela age! theyd have been better off setting the whole programme in a college then it would have ooked better.
at the end of the day people, the best shows out there use older people in shows like this with teen aged plot. Who wants to see an inexperienced rubbish 16 year old playing elena just cause she’d look 16? Ian somerhalder for example is fantastic BECAUSE of all his experience and talent. this show would be a wash out if they relied on casting true to age, rather than talent and some believability.
of all hte crappy american teen programmes out there, this is the best for sure!
You know what lauren, elena is a good actor, she is not rubbish like you are and plus shes got more class than you will ever have, so now i appointed mt case
My god! I was shoking when they mentioned that Paul is 27. He looks younger !
im sorry to say, that you need to do math.. you over estemated the ages. if someone was born in march of 87 they are still 22..all your ages are off.
i couldn’t agree anymore
and I’m sorry to say that you need to do english.. * overestimated
What I find shocking are the math skills of the person who posted this. What has happened to the American education system?
hahahaha read my mind. i was born in 89 and i’m still 20…for another half a year!
Unneccessary to call her out like this. Let’s be grateful that she’s taking time out on her day to do this site.
you are stupid
No chemistry whatsoever between any of them!
I think there is pleanty of chemistry between Elena and Damon
Why all of you are so shocked??? It doesn’t matter how old they are if they play perfectly!
actually that makes vicki 24…not 25
To everyone that is being rude on this post. If you must know i didnt spend much time figuring out the ages to all the actors so im sorry if they are a little off. But their only like a year off big deal! Some people really need to have respect and take their rudeness somewhere else!
I totaly agree with you!
I totally agree!
I went over this web site and I beleive you have a lot of superb info, saved to fav (:.
paul wesley almost 30 or already is. and damon isnt a high school student hes in collage.
opps no he is 27
i dont care how old Ian Somerhalder is i’d still do him! over and over again he is so hot same with Paul Wesley
hahha… I AGREE! =P
agreed!
@ Kristen
I totaly agree with you.
so is it true, that there wont be a new epi on thursday the 26 nov.?:(
Hey guys, hate 2 break it to you, but the guy who plays Damon should be 21. If the date is right. But I love this site and i admire the fact you put so much time into it. Keep posting!
now there is a person who knows how to post something respectfuly!
Agreed
agreed
I don’t care how old Ian or Paul is… their both sexy..lol
absolutely! ;D
it doesn’t surpise me at all. people always look a lot younger now-a-days than they really are. a lot of actors are older than they appear.
OMG! The Damon guy is THAT old?! LOL! wat a shocker! He’s older than evry1 else! WHOA. Lol
Wooooow i cant belive how old they are, damon and stefan are still hot and sexy though, and elena should dste pau; wesly in real life,THEY ARE A CUTE COUPLE
You are so right isabelle damon and stefan are still hot and that elena should date paul wesley in real life talk about cute
well.. it doesnt really matter what age they are.. to be acting as teenagers / high school peeps.. =D
what matters is they bring out a really good storyline for VAMPIRE love story!
@ least i feel tat it is better than .some other not-to-mentioned VAMPIRE stories! haha XD
NO OFFENCE TO T. Lovers!
