In a report from Celebrity Laundry, it is possible that the emerging rumors on Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder dating are just for publicity as the actor hits the promotional period of his new movie.
"The Anomaly" is not "the type of movie that's going to set the box office on fire," the report said.
It added, "Honestly, this isn't even the type of movie to make a small dent in the box office, and a large part of that is because it has no name draws."

The report added, "As much as people want to think of Ian as a selling point, he just doesn't have the fan base required to open a movie."
