EXCLUSIVE! Ian Somerhalder Is Defying Evil!

No need to look away, perezcious readers!
Accept the hypnotizing allure of Ian Somerhalder's spell… it's only natural!
Covering the Fall 2012 issue of Defy, Ian will magically stop everyone in their tracks when they pass this magazine cover on September 18th.
The unretouched, raw and gritty beauty of his face defies all negativity. Sigh..
We'd like to know how photographer Angelo Kritikos didn't freeze in Ian's paralyzing presence!!
Just look at the rest of the photos he took (below)! He truly captured Ian's essence of perfection! Truly.

He does nothing for me; I saw his skinny cock in that movie…not impressed!
Holy Mother of God he is beautiful!!!
tv face
this man is perfect… such a good actor, amazing to look at, he's super smart and he does incredible things for the environment. plus, he's dating nina!!! i adore him (if that wasn't already obvious-ha!)
@first comment,, seriously? the dude is fine and hes even an alpha male
ok that is not unretouched. his eyes have definitely been brightened. and his skin has been smoothened. but he is still beautiful.
Re: T.E.A.M.J.O.L.I.E – He is actually even more beautifull in Person.
is he wearing a wig? that is pretty dam photoshopped
There is a God in Haven! This man is perfect!
Reminds me a bit of John Travolta..
HE IS CHRISTIAN GREY!!!
He would be perfect as Christian Grey!!
who the eff is Christian Grey?
My #1 candidate for 50 Shades of Grey, Christian Grey. Perfection for the role.
he reminds me of cirilian or whatever his cool name is now cirilian is hot!!..
yes i prefer a bit more meat and a bit of ugh doesnt hurt guys that are too pretty are offputting..
Damn Boone, what happpened?
He's aged so horribly.
ok, you can go wack-off now
Re: magaly – see what Photoshop can do, he isn't that beautiful when walking the carpet
God damn. I need a moment…..
Who needs to sparkle when you can just smolder… sigh. Vampire Diaries…
Re: magaly – No you didn't it was a prosthetic.You are pathetic.Ian is beautiful inside & out.
This is heavily photoshopped. He has aged poorly, due to his excessive smoking habit. His wrinkles are prominent, especially if you see him in action on TV. His character on TVD is so damn annoying, a whiny baby.
Some people who comment here seriously need an eye doctors appointment. This man is freaking gorgeous, period.
What's taking them so long to cast him as Christian Grey already?!
I can sit and stare at him for hours..everything about him is so sexy. Some commenter s here needs to use a verbal filter and go get an rx for hormones, levels must be out of whack.
THIS IS SO HOT AND HE NEEDS TO BE CHRISTIAN GREY!!!!!
could his hair be any worse in the cover photo?? his eyes are truly hypnotic tho
but 4real did the photog claim these pix were specifically not photoshopped cuz his eyes never look like that really on tvdiaries so ya.. or ru just assuming these pix were not photoshopped perez? lolz
Re: skye89 – His Eyes are actually that bright sometimes when you see him in interviews and in person. On DVD there change under certain conditions, a lot of scenes are shot in the dark and his eyes change a lot with his mood, like when he is passionate they get darker. On piercing light blue eyes like that the change is more noticeable with the mood change then it would be on dark eyes. One thing i do know he is actually more beautifull in person, he has the most gorgeous smile.
Well hello, Christian Grey. Hint hint
he looks like christin grey is this pic please cast him!!!!!!!!
Shout out to the Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills!!! Photo shoot location destination!
