Your Swedish Update About The Vampire Diaries

Paul Wesley och Candice Acoola blev intervjuad av TV-Guide angående Steroline. (Intervjun är dock på engelska.)

Stefan And Caroline’s first time was far from romantic it was more like a drunken hookup!?

Accola: Its certainly not how Caroline wanted to finally get together with Stefan and start a relationship. She wanted it to be genuine.

Wesley: Stefan took it better because he’s been alive a long time and murdered many people [Laughs]

Why did it take so long for Stefan to aknowledge Caroline’s feelings for him as well as his feelings for her?

Accola: I should make a joke about boys just being unaware, but i have to cut him a break. He was dealing with what he thought was his brother Damons death, so he was too distracted to think about her deep her feelings were.

Wesley: Look Stefan was madly in love with Elena I dont think he thought for a moment there would be another woman in his life. Ever.

Accola: Caroline is definitely intimidated by that. How can he truly love her after Elena? She’s in love with Stefan but she feels like the odds are stacked against her.

So Paul can Stefan truly love Caroline after Elena?

Wesley: Stefan and Elena had unrelenting passion which has merit. But forming a bond and friendship that devolps into a life-long partnership-that pragmatic love has merit as well. I think Stefan professes his love to Caroline-to a degree-when he says, “I’m here for you.”

Talk about trading places. Now Stefan is ready for a relationship but Caroline isnt so sure.

Wesley: Unless hes in ripper mode, Stefan is a noble character much more than I am in real life, and he’ll wait for her to feel ready.

When you too work together there is natural humor and plenty of steam, often at the same time. Do you agree?

Wesley: Yeah. There’s humor. There’s a sexiness, and theres a friendship [that we bring to the two characters].

Which one makes the other crack up?

Wesley: Its me, 100 percent.

Accola: Paul is definitely a trouble maker. He has the biggest sense of humor. I’m so focused. If I’m trying to get ready for the next scene I’m very focused on whats next. And Paul is cracking jokes

Sounds like Candice shares a “type A personality” with Caroline.

Accola: I’m very type A! Just ask my husband [The Fray guitarist Joe King]. There are many Parallels between Caroline and me. It’s been very interesting to playing her.

Candice does Paul make you laugh while filming your love scenes?

Accola: You’re in a room with 30 other people! Everyone is cracking jokes! I find filming romance scenes a hilarious endeavor because Caroline has had many romantic relationships over six years. It’s just another day at work for me. [Laughs]

Wesley: We’re such buddies in real life, when we have to do passionate scenes we can’t help but laugh. Plus her husband is a really good friend of mine so its amusingly weird.

Whats your favorite shared scene so far?

Accola: The beginning of their friendship and season two. Right after she turns and Stefan is teaching her how to be a vampire. She had gone on a rampage because she couldn’t control herself. Shes stressing that she might have to eat bunnies. Its the first time you see these two characters-who are such polar opposites work together.

Wesley: My favorite scene was also when Caroline was freaking out about being a vampire. She had gone on a rampage because she couldnt control herself. She was in a public bathroom and I grabbed her face and tell her that it would be OK. I think the writers saw the connection during that scene and said, ”Maybe this is something we could do in the future. Because if its only Stefan and Elena for six years people may want to vomit.”

With Nina Dobrev’s departure ending the Elena/Damon paring, will Steroline be the show’s must-watch couple?

Wesley: For all I know they’ll bring a new girl for Damon and they will have a passionate romance. I think we’re going to be one main romances, but I’m not sure  if we’ll be the only one.

What do you want to happen?

Accola: I would like Caroline to have a relationship that works out. In the pilot we saw superficial Caroline, but really she just wanted to be loved. Thats what she’s always wanted. It would be a nice full-circle experience for her if she gets that in the end.

Wesley: I think Stefan-and the writers-want him and Caroline to be the endgame: the match.

 

If you're looking for a guy who's the total package, we found him: 26-year-old Chris Wood, whose most recent role as the villainous Kai Parker in The Vampire Diaries has turned him into Hollywood's hottest new bad boy. But don't let his character fool you: In real life he's a marathon-running, theater-loving, baseball-playing heartthrob who has a whole lot more to him than you'll ever see on screen.

 

The Ohio-native isn't new to the acting scene. Before his roles on The Carrie Diariesand Girls, you'd have to buy tickets to the theater to see him put on his best performance. "My first role was a rat in Pied Piper of Hamelin when I was six years old," he tells us. "My older sister was really into theater and dance, so there's always the sibling rivalry element of growing up. I fell into it that way. It's something I've done my whole life."

That first role was just the beginning. After growing up making stop-motion home movies with friends featuring G.I. Joe and an occasional appearance by his sister's Barbies, not to mention a short-lived series in high school called Chris Wood: Action Man, it was pretty clear being an actor was in his genes and he figured out a way to make his dream a reality. "I grew up in Ohio and my family members weren't artists or anything, so you have to find some sort of path to get to where you want to be," Chris says. "I didn't know anyone who had gone from Ohio and worked in Hollywood, so at a very early age I sort of had to figure it out."

Chris decided to go to Elon University in North Carolina to get his foot in the door, and it didn't take long for him to catch his big break. "I knew you needed training to become a skilled theater actor, and to get training you had to go to school," he says. "To get noticed in the film and television world, the thing I saw that was consistent was if you made it in New York you could transition opposed to going straight to LA and getting swallowed up in the industry."

After several roles during college, Chris scored the part of Melchoir in the national tour of Spring Awakening where he performed in eight shows a week in over 60 cities. Then a couple years later, it was on to film. We loved him as Adam in The Carrie Diaries, but his new role as the lead antagonist in Vampire Diaries is his most fun one yet. "Kai is totally different from my other roles—being the bad guy is always great. The bad guys have all the fun. They really do. We get all the best lines," he says. "Especially getting to play a psychotic character—he's so different from me."

With Kai being kind of a crazy person and all, it turns out fans of the show who meet Chris in real life are surprised by the down-to-earth sweetheart they find. "I was in Florida at this convention and the thing I heard most often was 'You're not at all what I was expecting you to be like.' I'm always thinking, 'Well I hope not. I hope you didn't think I was going to be a nut-job,'" Chris says. "He just ticks in a totally different way than I do. The material is very dark, but I really get to play the whole package: A comical character who's also intensely villainous and terrifying. It's a blast."

When he gets a break from filming, the entire cast has a handful of things they like to do off set in Atlanta, Georgia. And knowing this guy, of course they're a little artsy. "They have this thing called the BeltLine in Atlanta. It's a bike path that goes around the entire city," Chris says. "It's very scenic—they have all these cool local art projects along the side of the path: big scultpures, windmills, and pendulums that move. So we bike that some weekends when it's nice. There are also always great concerts, food, and music. We also love game nights—we play a lot of charades. And Cards Against Humanity."

Being a baseball fan for basically his entire life, Chris also made time to keep playing one of his favorite sports. "I play rec softball sort of religiously. I'm a huge baseball fan," he tells us. "When I lived in New York City, I'd go to a Yankees game every week. I played until college, so I joined a couple leagues when I moved to Atlanta. That's been fun when I'm not working."

If you haven't noticed, this guy's pretty cool: From acting to singing and being an athlete, there's not much he doesn't do. So if you just became even more of a fan—which, let's be honest, how could you not?—don't worry: This is just the beginning for the adorable Pied Piper rat who's quickly becoming one of Hollywood's most covetable stars.

Celebuzz: Först och främst, stort grattis till att du blivit en av "the crew" och ska vara med i nästa säsong av TVD, var du exalterad när du fick höra det? 

Michael Malarkey: Hell Yeah! Jag åkte i princip fram och tillbaka från London under min "guset star" period. Så för det ändamålet är det trevligt och veta vart jag ska befinna mig hela nästa år, istället för att åka fram och tillbaka. Det är en ganska lång flygresa. Men jag är överlycklig över att vara en del av en väletablerad och respekterad serie. 

CB: Vad kan vi vänta oss från Enzo i säsong 6?

MM: Tja du kommer att få se samma gamla misstänksamma Enzo och hans lojalitet, den färdas mellan att vara god och ond. Jag har läst de första sex avsnitten och det är några riktigt bra grejer på gång.
