‘Vampire Diaries’ Star Kayla Ewell Dishes on Kellan & R-Pattz

The wild-child alter ego of bloodsucker Vicki Donovan on The Vampire Diaries is completely different from the surfer-girl Kayla Ewell who plays her. In an exclusive interview and photo shoot in the current issue of OK! — on sale everywhere now! — the 24-year-old tries out a new rocker look and dishes on her favorite fanged men — her ex, Twilight’s Kellan Lutz and his co-star Robert Pattinson.

Has Kellan given you “vampire tips”?
It’s fun to call Kellan and run ideas by him. He and I dated for years, when we were younger. We’re really good friends still. It’s so much fun for us, now, to see each other working and still be each other’s support system. He’s amazing.

What’s it like working with co-stars Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley?
They’re both so sexy! Every day I show up at work and think, “It’s not fair that you’re this hot!” They’re so charming in real life and each has a really engaging personality. Ian is gregarious, the life of the party and the one everybody gravitates toward; Paul is like a secretive, sexy, groovy vampire — he’s on the opposite end of the spectrum.

What actor has played the hottest male vampire?
My all-time favorite is Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire. He’s so sexy. I’m a fan of anything he does, but in that film he’s a vampire who doesn’t want to feed. There’s something super sexy about someone who has to feed to survive but doesn’t want to do it.
