Vampire Diaries: Nina Dobrev Turned Down Role To Get Naked
The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev has revealed in an interview recently that she was supposed to be part of the production of “Boardwalk Empire”, a series that is currently running on HBO.
The actress, who was then 21 years old, was supposed to play a character that required her to have sex scenes and Nina says that at that time, she wasn’t feeling comfortable about disrobing. So, she turned down the part and did “The Vampire Diaries” instead.
Two years later, we see her in the cover of Entertainment Weekly, donning nothing but a towel, with her rumored boyfriend and on-screen partner, Ian Somerhalder.
The cover is smoldering hot! And it’s one of the best photos of the couple together, I should say. Here, take a look:
Says the actress about her thougths on nudity on the screen:
“But I was really young at the time. I’d just finished Degrassi, and I wasn’t ready for it. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, and I think if you’re immersed in a role and if it’s appropriate for the role, I say go for it. You just have to find the right role. But I think nudity has to be tasteful and appropriate and not gratuitous.”
“I’m proud to say that up until this point, I’ve been able to keep my clothes on! I’ve gotten to where I am and kept my clothes on, so now I’ve reached the point where you gotta start taking the layers off!”
You’ve got to love her for her outlook!

Elena(Nina Dobrev) i am glad that u turned down the offer to get nude. You are my best actress ever. I really like everything about you.I think to express a sex thing scene mustn’t be vividly shown 4 people to understand. Perhaps, one may witness such dignified way of expressing similar scene in Vampire Diaries. Pls protect your dignity 4 the sake of your grand children to come not to talk of your future lovely daughter viewing mommy naked doing it with… Pls think ahead.
