Ian Somerhalder Explains That Paris Fan Encounter

Ian Somerhalder Explains That Paris Fan Encounter

Ian Somerhalder has some fun with the audience at Bloody Night Con 3 on Saturday (May 30) at The Egg Gallery in Brussels, Belgium.

The 36-year-old actor was joined on stage by Daniel Gillies. Other members of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals family in attendance were Kat Graham, Michael Malarkey, and Chris Wood.

While in Paris last week, Ian asked his fans outside his hotel to give him one day of privacy and not ask him to take photos. When a video surfaced, he faced some criticism for not being accommodating with the fans and now he’s released an apology.

“Looking at the world through my eyes and always trying to see it through yours. I see you. I see all of you and find great beauty in each set of eyes. Anyone who knows me understands that I spend a great deal of my life with our fans. Our audience. The people that make this show and ISF happen- all with hearts, minds bodies and souls. It blows my mind that a man who tried to love so much, a man asking for one day, just one day to have a quiet walk down the street is so upsetting to people,” Ian said on Instagram. “So much love to you all… Goodnight and thank you.”
