We’ll accomplish it a chill, relaxed, fun environment.”
The film, appear last week, is Dobrev’s aboriginal attack into comedy. She plays Josie, a waitress who befriends two barter (Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr.) who go to a affair cutting badge uniforms that are so convincing, they end up impersonating cops.

After a contempo breakup with her “Vampire” co-star Ian Somerhalder (the two anachronous for three years), additional berserk Internet account about her post-breakup hookups (tongues wagged that Dobrev was spotted kissing several guys at Comic-Con, including Orlando Bloom, Ben McKenzie, David Anders and Derek Theler), it makes faculty the extra would accept a trusted adherent as her date for the big premiere— so the focus can be on the cine rather than who she may or may not accept been accepting abutting to at the after-party.

Asking herself “Why not?” has been a huge part of Dobrev’s activity this year, decidedly aback it comes to traveling and chalking up claimed adventures. While “Vampire” was on aperture this bounce (Season 6 allotment Oct. 2), Dobrev jumped on a alike to Europe and catholic solo — as in absolutely abandoned — for a ages and a half. While this sounds like something an batty celebrity would do, abnormally a awful apparent one who has been on endless annual covers, a hit TV appearance for six years, and in such movies as “Chloe” and “The Perks of Actuality a Wallflower,” Nina says it fabricated absolute faculty to her.
“I acclimated to pride myself on actuality absolutely independent,” explains Dobrev, who was built-in in Bulgaria and aloft in Toronto. “Everything I’ve done until now is because I formed my ass off. I never bare anyone — I aloof fabricated it happen. Nowadays, I’m never by myself, whether I’m with 150 aggregation associates on set, on a alike or at an event. I haven’t had any abandoned time for a while, and I capital to get abroad and feel that way again.”
Dobrev’s MO? After landing in Europe, she would accommodated bodies in confined or coffee shops, bang up a chat and, depending what their affairs were, end up in addition country. At one point, she met some Australians who alive in Bali and spent the blow of the cruise traveling with them.
“I don’t like actuality a day-tripper in any burghal — I like actuality a local,” she says.
But did she get recognized?
“Not really. In fact, those [Australian] guys didn’t admit me at all. It wasn’t until day two or three that bodies started advancing up to me and they were like, ‘Wait, who are you? Why do bodies appetite to booty pictures with you?’ By day six, they were like, ‘Wait, you’re absolutely crazy. Why did you appear actuality by yourself in your situation?’ But look, if I’m at a bar in Bali and I don’t accept an associates with me, and I’m not aggravating to get attention, no one assumes it’s me. It’s all about the way you backpack yourself.”
Dobrev’s across adventures included wake-boarding by day and snowboarding by night in Switzerland, surfing with “the No. 1 bounded Balinese surfer, a 15-year-old kid,” and witnessing “one of the best admirable sunsets I’ve anytime seen.”
["582"]She additionally abstruse a few acceptable bubbler games. “Have you played Beat the Dealer?” she asks excitedly. “Oh my god — Google it. It’s fun. And dangerous.”
Her aggressiveness carries over assimilate the red carpet. For the accomplished three years Dobrev has formed with stylist Ilaria Urbinati (whose audience accommodate Bradley Cooper, Emmy Rossum and Lizzy Caplan), cultivating what Dobrev calls a “chameleonlike appearance that’s fashion-forward and anxious but classic. Ilaria and I accept the aforementioned vision, and now we’re actual close.” She action again: “How could we not be aback she sees me naked every brace of weeks?”
Dobrev gravitates against Elie Saab and Naeem Khan for big events, but she abstracts with both newer and accustomed designers. This year, she alike abounding her aboriginal Paris appearance week.
“Versace was absolutely exciting, and Chanel was the crème de la crème as an experience,” she says. “If addition had told me 10 years ago I would one day be activity to the Chanel appearance and blind out with Karl Lagerfeld, I would’ve been like, ‘You’re crazy.’”
Off-duty, Dobrev’s appearance is abundant added casual. In Atlanta, area she brand to go bike- benumbed or comedy volleyball if she’s not shooting, she can usually be begin cutting jeans or a tee with yoga pants. In LA, she goes for boho-casual maxidresses. And in New York or Europe, it’s article “cooler, because there’s a altered energy.”
Regardless of locale, Dobrev keeps a bag arranged with biking essentials: Noise-canceling Bose ear buds, an eye mask, a facial mask, super-comfortable clothes and a pillow. It’s all in the name of accepting much- bare rest, added people’s opinions be damned: “Today I was sitting abutting to a accidental being [on a plane], and I’m cutting my white facial affectation that makes me attending like a mummy, my eye mask, my ear buds and my big pillow about my neck. The guy abutting to me must’ve anticipation I was bats–t crazy.”
But assumption what? She couldn’t accept cared less.
