We switched to decaf, so we felt a lot better,” Wesley, 40, said at the event with Somerhalder adding that they drank “herbal tea.Although the co-stars weren’t drinking real alcohol on set, the actors did share a few fun hangouts in Atlanta, where the series was filmed and they shared apartments right next to each other.“The South is sort of a great place to drink bourbon, so that was part of the reason that we created Brother’s Bond, as well, because we were drinking a lot of it off set and on set,” Wesley told us. “It was kind of being like at sleep-away camp.”
Somerhalder added, “Our cast and our crew were so tight. We had local watering holes, but it wasn’t just the cast that would show up. It was cast, it was grips, it was electrics, it was assistant directors. It was everybody.”Vampire Diaries” was a supernatural teen drama about two vampire brothers in love with the same woman, played by Nina Dobrev.
