Nina Dobrev has more tricks up her sleeve than you'd think. The star juggles two relationships on her show 'The Vampire Diaries,' one of which is with her actual boyfriend, is subject to constant pestering from her mother on set, and even has a few martial arts moves we didn't know about either. Not to mention her stunning features and charming girl-next-door attitude. She can do it all.
During her recent appearance on 'Conan,' Dobrev opened up to Conan O'Brien about her on-set juggling act and her on and off-screen relationship with co-star Ian Somerhalder.
"So you're making out with two different guys, constantly," O'Brien said.
"More than that, I'm pretty sure I've made out with every guy on the show. As my character, of course." said Dobrev. "The awkwardness and the weirdness is when my mom comes to set and I have to do a sex scene or something and that can get kind of weird. But what's even weirder is when I come off set and she starts giving me notes."
Dobrev went on to describe how her mother instructs her to arch her back in order to look sexier. Not many daughters have heard that from their mothers. Somerhalder has no qualms with her on-screen boyfriends or her mother's sex advice. Who would with a catch like that?
O'Brien, in classic form, then continued to egg Dobrev on. "I don't mean to say the wrong things, but you're obviously very attractive, very talented. I just don't see you as someone who's kicking ass. That's not the vibe I get," O'Brien said.
"I'm a little insulted actually," Dobrev responded. "Oh, I will be Angelina Jolie one day and I will kick some ass and I have the stuntman with me all the time to prove it, literally." A staged fight scene with broken glass and giant bodyguard thugs ensued, giving Dobrev the chance to prove to O'Brien and the world that she's got the moves.
Dobrev is the reining star on 'The Vampire Diaries' and is now being considered to play the role of Anastasia Steele in the upcoming "50 Shades of Grey" movie. The 24-year-old has a bright future ahead of her, perhaps now as an action star.
