"The Vampire Diaries" actress talked about her split with co-star, which immediately followed the rumors that Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder are dating.
As the 25-year-old "The Roommate" actress graced the August issue of Nylon magazine, Ian Somerhalder's ex-girlfriend said that she tries to be "good to everyone."
"I don't like any kind of negativity. I try to be good to everyone, whether it's a love, a friend, an ex. I'll always try to treat people the way I want to be treated," the "Perks of Being A Wallflower" star said.
The Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder dating rumors emerged as the actor also revealed in Nylon that they share a bond even after their failed relationship.
"She always lets me have the last fry," he said.
About Nina Dobrev's character as Elena in the hit television series "The Vampire Diaries," actor Ian Somerhalder said that she learned how to "access the evil in herself."
"[She's] learned how to. She always wants to do her own stunts. Sometimes they let her; sometimes they don't," he shared.
As for Nina Dobrev's famed character, she said she does not want to live in its shadows for a long time, Pop Sugar reported.
"When I signed on at 20, I knew I'd be 26 when I got off. Not that I was afraid that I would be old . . . I love the show, but I don't want to be defined by just the show," she said.
She added, "I always get uncomfortable when people know more about me than I know about them."
Nina Dobrev even noted that a lot of people are very cynical and jaded but she clarified that she's not there yet.
"The Vampire Diaries" actress will also be seen in comedy hit "Let's Be Cops" along Damon Wayans Jr. and Jake Johnson.
"I can get to an emotional place and start crying, but there's pressure when you think you have to be funny . . . you really have to be uninhibited and fearless," she said.
