Ian Somerhalder Gives Back On His B-Day

OMG. Not only is Ian Somerhalder mind-blowingly HAWT, he’s a good person too!

The Vampire Diaries star turned 32 yesterday and instead of gifts, asked his fans to to donate money to environmental charities.

He wrote:

“Supporting and nurturing all life on this pretty blue planet is a very important commitment I am taking to the next level. You may have heard that to create positive change I’ve started a foundation. Well it’s true! The IS Foundation aims to empower, educate & collaborate with people & projects to positively impact the planet and its creatures. Instead of gifts this year, my birthday wish is that we come together and raise funds to support projects that protect our habitat and nurture our furry friends. If people truly feel like giving me a gift for my birthday this year, I hope you will consider giving a donation to the foundation. Giving to the foundation would be the best gift I could ever wish for, it would give us a chance to make change together.”

Ugh, he’s too good! We love it!
