He’s great, such a charming, lovely, fabulous guy. You would love him. He’s also incredibly bright, thoughtful and earthy. He is really one of the most beautiful specimens I’ve ever seen in person. You know what they said to me at the WB? “You’re putting too much make-up on him, there is too much blush on his cheeks”. I’m like, “He doesn’t wear any make-up, it’s his fucking skin.”. - Steve Ankin on Ian Somerhalder.
