Shock horror! There was a point in time when Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore) and co-star Nina Dobrev did not get along with each other on The Vampire Diaries set.
Nina, who played Elena Gilbert in the hit CW series shared the shocking news a while back, but now Paul has addressed the situation.
WATCH the moment Elena and Stefan fell in love on The Vampire Diaries:
Despite being romantically involved on the teen vampire show, Wesley told US Weekly at the Television Critics Association press tour, “I think the point that Nina was making, and I’ll totally back her up on this, is that we totally clashed [the] first couple years in terms of just getting on each other’s nerves, and then developed this wonderful friendship. So it’s like this nice, happy ending.”
The 37-year-old Tell Me a Story actor added “I think sometimes when people work together nonstop, do press nonstop for years and years on end, you’re just — you don’t appreciate the person that’s in front of you. You’re like, ‘Oh, you know, I’m exhausted and tired.’ And I think now, it’s such a nice sort of story because we’re such good friends now. I think it was a cool lesson to learn. It’s like the people that kind of maybe you don’t get along with in the beginning later surprise you, and I think a lot of my friendships are like that.”
Dobrev first spilt the tea on their former dislike for each other in June while speaking to the Directionally Challenged podcast.
“Paul and I didn’t get along at the beginning of the show. I respected Paul Wesley, I didn’t like Paul Wesley” shared the 30-year-old actress, whom most recently appeared on now-axed comedy series Fam.
“I remember everyone would walk up to me after the show aired and they’d be like, ‘Are you and Paul dating in real life?’ Everyone thought that we had such good chemistry. I realize now that there’s a fine line between love and hate and we despised each other so much that it read as love but … We really just didn’t get along the first five months of shooting” added the star.
We are glad the pair went on to become such good friends and gave us the iconic TV couple that was Stelena!
