Ian Somerhalder: Life After Vampire Diaries, Brothers Bond Bourbon & RV Life | Campfire Convos

[@pagangamer87]

And I have to say that Nicky is lucky to have a man like him who is so passionate about everything, even life with how dark it can be at times. I hope I can meet someone like him one day, someone who can bring out the best in me.

Ian isnt just a celebrity for young people, he really is a guy people could look upto. 💯 A one true role model. His passion is really inspiring ❤️

[@chroniclesofashlee951]

"What is it you want?" "I want an answer, Ian." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Zepanda12395]

I also love how Ian isn’t just about the Vampire Diaries or Brother Bourbon but he’s about so much more and it’s incredible how comfortable he is talking about everything he loves. It’s incredible how strongly he loves what he does and the ones he loves. Ian is so much more then just Damon, Boone, Adam, and all the other characters he plays. He truly is an inspiration and role model. Honestly I don’t like marshmallows so I don’t do s’mores but watching Ian make them kinda makes me want to eat some😁

[@warlockoreocheese]

I loved how he didn’t have a direct answer to any of the questions, I’m the same way! I can listen to him all day!

[@SunOutdoors]

How do you choose between 2 great options? Thanks for joining us!

[@christybailey6121]

This was an amazing interview. It’s incredible to watch someone prosper doing what they love. Ian and Nikki have a passion for nature and each other. I will support amazing people like them anyday! I roast my marshmallow by completely setting it on fire 😂

Ian has my whole heart🥺❤ So passionate, considerate, inspiring, loving, talented....💜

A Southern favorite: Moon Pie S’more. Picture this… On my farm in Missouri. All day I’m out in nature cutting cedars and working on the barn with my pops. After a long day, we head back into the lodge and share together a harvested deer stake and duck meal. Stomachs full, we open the slide door and head out under the night sky. We toast and share together a drink, and compliment it perfectly with the Moon Pie S’more at the camp fire. Marshmallows cooked slightly outside the flame to perfectly caramelize them just golden, mashed between two gooey Moon Pies with chocolate made from fresh cocoa inside. That’s my ideal night with a Moon Pie S’more to put it over the top!

[@Amy-xd2os]

Ian worse than a politician when asked to choose a straight answer 😂

[@xShatteredDesiresx]

He’s a bit of a boring talker lol.

[@Web497]

😂😂😂😂

[@mereamelie]

Such an inspirational dude! I love that he’s so passionate about family, environment, sustainable ways of life. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! My family is top priority, no matter what else is going on in life. We try to make time for one another and we enjoy our s’mores frequently together, whether out on an adventure or from the comfort of our back yard. I’ve since discovered Brother’s Bond Bourbon and I’ve added it to our gatherings! Adults only of course! Touchdown Punch was a hit at the bbq over the weekend along with many s’mores and great conversations with friends and family. I like my marshmallows slightly burnt with my s’mores! And my Brother’s Bond on the rocks! Many blessings Ian! ❤️

[@mariewyatt1191]

Love this, I have called out so many times, But my most favorite is roasting marshmallows, nothing but a stick, roasting fire N of course marshmallows, I always get a stick with 2 branches so I can put 2 marshmallows on an put it in the fire , once they catch on fire, roll them around, when they turn black, blow them out N the most delicious Flavor takes over your mouth an do it over N over again. 😋

[@jennikingston7910]

This was such an amazing interview. I love all of the things Ian and Nikki are doing for the environment. I watch everything that Ian is in because I am a huge fan and I think he is a wonderful actor. The way I would roast my marshmallows would be lightly charred on the outside like a golden brown and then I would put them on a graham cracker and eat it. Yum!

[@subhashitamaitra2250]

It was an absolute delight to watch this interview. Loved every bit of him here. The smores part needed Rebakah there. And the rapid fire was the funniest. Overall in love with Ian Damon Somerhalder all over again 😍

I was one of the people that streamed the whole series during the pandemic

[@saralami1783]

This interview was so relaxing. Thank you Ian for the love, passion and interest you put in your goals. You’re a source of inspiration. People should take a cue from you. I’m from Italy and marchmallows are not very fashionable here but in the summer evening we stay on the beach to drink cocktails and eat some snack, the important thing is to have good friends.

[@iansomerhalder9755]

Nice I really love your support

[@aienw1485]

my fav actor ian ❤ such a lovely conversation ..two handsome men 👍

[@amberh7990]

I truly love how kind of a person you are. My daughter and I, it’s just us, we truly bonded over your show. We already have such a close bond, but being able to laugh and cry over that show is something we will remember forever. Going from seeing you on there to seeing who you are as a real human is pretty neat. I just started taking my daughter camping this last summer for the first time since she was little. We’ve had a pretty tough time the past year. We decided our dream is to own our own RV, travel the world and do as much good for people who need it. We sure know what it’s like to have a rough go and want to help others as much as we can. So to be entered into the contest, we roast our marshmallows together! We put them over a fire, let it catch on fire, make a wish and blow them out. Thanks for this opportunity.

[@Imamanda369]

I'm just in awe of him as a person.

[@shocast4550]

Loved this! The chemistry of y’all hanging out and just answering questions was great! Ian is such an old soul and just seems at one with nature. 👏🏽🙌🏽

[@muneebamujeeb1216]

oh god!!!! this man ages like a fine wine 🍷🤩🤩🥺🥺🥺❤️

[@SheenToEarth]

Ian is exactly the type of soul this world needs to shine. Hearing his stories are always so calming and always leaves you feeling better than when you began watching. Also always funny. So thankful the world can hear your voice. 🙏 My favorite way to roast some mallows- Set it on fire! 🔥 Then blow it out in a few seconds before it gets too burnt.. So you have that slight bitterness with gooey soft sweetness.👌

[@maddie4904]

Ian can elaborate literally on any kind of story, I could listen FOREVER!!!

[@SunOutdoors]

Thanks for watching Maddie!

[@andreasparks59]

Ian is such an inspirational person! He puts a huge smile on my face and reminds me of everything good we each have. ALSO, marshmallows are roasted to a golden brown 😋 there isn’t any other way!

[@brandyclarke5058]

If I am ever interviewed, I'd choose this campfire setup hands down. What a fun interview! I really enjoyed the questions and Ian's responses. I like to toast my marshmallow around a fire with friends and family by turning the marshmallow into a gooey ball of flame for that burnt, crispy crust and melted inside (with a side of Brothers Bond Bourbon of course). Cheers!

[@katiabertoloni8469]

I wish i could act with Ian ❤️❤️

[@reneegamber7199]

Love this! So genuine and natural between the two of them. Would love to have a Convo like this with Ian. And marshmallows just barely softened - then smashed between chocolate and graham crackers!

[@jenhoven]

I'm a Philadelphian, Pennsylvanian and I LOVE that Ian mentioned my town! Yeah, we can be angry, but only when you push us too far. LOL! Most of the time we're friendly fun loving people! It's a great place! Great interview! Love how relaxed it is and I love the very "human" aspect of it! Oh, and I like to toast my marshmallows after I dip them in bourbon...MMM!!! Of course, only Brothers Bond Bourbon will do now that it's my favorite. 😉🥰

[@Mskeen346]

Such an authentic interview, and I love seeing this side of celebrities. Me and my family enjoy roasting marshmallows camping out on by a lake. We let our kids start the conversations with how vague and beautiful their thinking is. Our conversations can last hours until their “ what if “ scenarios land me in an existential crisis. 😂

[@desireemolina4053]

I really love this... Ian, you make me the happiest girl in the world, you’ve helped me even in the darkest moments, and for that I thank you infinitely.. I love your commitment, the passion you put into your work, the love you have for your wonderful family, and the magic of Brother’s Bond Bourbon. Anyway... This interview really inspired me!! I roast my marshmallows on a roaring fire, together with my family and my closest friends, even during the birthday parties because we organize small trips together to discover nature. After melting them we accompany them with chocolate and strawberries, cut them into small pieces and drink them either in hot chocolate or create smores but the real happiness is to enjoy them in company on the evening of a cold winter day, around the campfire and tell us stories.

[@iansomerhalder9755]

Oh, I'm truly grateful and I appreciate

[@Idontknowbruh07]

I absolutly loved to watch this interview! As a huge tvd fan, I rewatch the serie over and over again and seeing him now is such a great feeling. He's inspiring, he's glowing and he's my idol. I wish him the best! Have a great day! :))

Loved the interview, Ian is one of my favorite actors of all time. I like to lightly roast my marshmallows til they are crispy golden and then burn one side for the crunch

[@waynequintanilla4199]

What a wonderful conversation, this was actually really interesting to watch. Both wonderful people having an amazing glass of good ol fashion Bourbon. I also wanted to be a marine biologist just haven’t made it yet 😊

[@kaitlynnfrancois1577]

Love Ian. He's not only a great actor but a huge family man and that's the most genuine thing to see! Roasting marshmallows have always been a favorite. Even when we didn't have a fire going we would still ask for them as children and would "roast" them on the stove top! 😁 slightly burnt and gooey on the inside and not just one line of chocolate you need enough to cover the whole graham cracker!! ❤

[@sudhachandrashekhar6373]

Hey... Ian You are awesome.. great man I love you ❤️❤️

[@alexisaltman5829]

I love having campfires with friends gathered around and music playing. I usually roast my marshmallows until there golden brown on the outside and gooey on the inside. The best way to have them is with graham crackers and chocolate. Yum :)

[@fireball778]

Wow!!! You are amazing, and live how you think of the different ways to do things, stay amazing, you and your wife are inspiring 🥰🧡💯

[@malak4249]

thank you sunoutdoors for having my biggest fan ian somerhalder, the whole interview was amazing and it was so fun watching it!! first i arrange the marshmallows in a single layer and broil until golden brown on top and bottom, (sometimes i start daydreaming and burn the marshmallows😶), i really like chocolate so i add melted galaxy chocolate on top of the marshmallows and then done✅, a yummy marshmallows for sunoutdoors and the king ian somerhalder💗😂

[@stephaniestiffler7850]

I love this interview!! I roast my marshmallows only when I can accompany them with chocolate and graham crackers. But the little detail we take for granted is realizing that I’ve never roasted a marshmallow by myself….it’s always around a campfire with friends and loved ones creating lasting memories that are 100% always good (the memories and marshmallows). But to be specific I like my marshmallows slightly browned with just a slight crunch on the outside to them, but there’s no wrong way to roast them!!

[@birska325]

I love listening to wise and inspiring guys like Ian. It is an amazing feeling to know that there is someone out there who not only thinks about the Earth, climate, animals and the lives of future generations, but actually works to fix what we have neglected over the years as a society. About marshmallows: I completely don't understand this fascination, it's probably too American for a simple Polish girl :)

[@melissapapez7966]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! The memories flooded back in while I was watching this😊. My parents took my younger brother and I on vacations every year and what they could afford was camping! Nothing glamorous but it didn’t matter because we were together in nature with each other! We packed up our tent and all of our camping gear into our VW yellow/orange camper and trekked all over Pennsylvania and the East coast as far south as Florida! When I think about all those times just being together without any distractions, I think about all the laughter and what an amazing job my parents did helping to create those memories and times together!!! How I would love to experience that again with just my parents and brother! Back then I could eat s’mores without thinking about the calories. But I couldn’t drink your bourbon or any bourbon for that matter! I’d love to win this to experience this again now being able to drink Brothers Bind Bourbon! Thank you for making our world a better place so we can continue to enjoy it with family and friends ❤️

[@rachel-rj7zn]

Love the bourbon him and Paul made and he is a good actor

[@SunOutdoors]

Thanks Rachel!

[@madisonlenoury4874]

I heard about the give-away you guys are doing with Ian Somerhalder and .The first thing I do before I toast my marshmallow is to grab my family and some nice cozy blankets. The best time of the year in my opinion to roast marshmallows is autumn that way you can see all the beautiful colours. and watch a beautiful sunset before lighting the fire . The next thing . I do I is get some dairy milk chocolate, jet-puffed marshmallows and golden graham crackers . I choose Jet Puff marshmallows because they're always fresh and are the best for s'mores. 2. I toast my marshmallows till their golden brown, not burnt or crispy 3. I slowly remove it from the stick trying to avoid eating it right away, put it on my graham cracker and put my chocolate on top that way it melts down quickly and I add a top to my smore 4. I take a nice big bite of that gooey goodness getting it all over my face .

[@KatyCupcakes]

I adore Ian!!!

[@carolyncamui]

I love Ian Somerhalder and Everything that he stands for ! I love this interview !! It is important to take time out of the chaos and enjoy the peace of the Outdoors and your family !! Thank you Sun Outdoors for this priceless moment in time ❤️

[@victoriacastello5521]

Loved listening to this interview! Ian's so inspirational

[@makaylasanders8173]

When I was really young, probably around the age of 8 I remember I could never get my Marshmellow cooked just the way I wanted it. My Dad then grabbed the stick I was using and showed me how far away to stay and how slow to turn it to achieve the perfect golden brown look. I was so excited to have shared that next marshmellow that I completed by myself with my Dad! Ian you’re such a inspiration to me! God bless! ❤️

[@heatherkowalski6133]

This is such a great interview! Loved Ian since the day I started watching TVD, but also for everything he stands for! I grew up camping in Northern Michigan every summer and wouldn’t have had it any other way! Loved roasting marshmallows with my dad, golden brown with Hersheys! 🏕

[@meganrobinson3521]

There is nothing better than being in tune with nature! You have always put so much feeling into everything you do and believe in. With that said. When I roast marshmallows I do it with my family and enjoy watching the joy in my children's eyes. It makes me feel like a child again watching their excitement over the small things. It brings me back down to earth with a reminder of how simple life really is.

[@dianaliebke7384]

I love this Man 🥰 💖

[@camerontheberge8385]

My favorite way to roast a marshmallow is the classic way. Hersheys and marshmallow toasted inside of two pieces of graham crackers 🙌

[@ruthielyons6903]

I love watching what Ian and Nikki represent in the world. Thank you for watch you do. I love being in nature and take it all in, it's a great reset of life. I had a chance to enjoy camping later in life. I love my marshmallows extra crunchy that gives a great taste when put on the graham cracker

[@ritwikabhadury791]

Absolutely loved this episode! Have been a crazy fan of Ian since Vampire Diaries and It's so pleasing to hear his stories. In Canada me and my friends spent roasting marshmallows on a skewer enjoying the campfire. The toasted brown marshmallows tastes so good especially with friends and loved ones. We had wine and some food and the night was sorted. Seeing this video just brings back those memories. :)

[@annabellehandleman3075]

It was really enjoying to watch it. I'm always inspired and motivated by Ian. He's truly the best ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@camrynncarson1865]

When I was a Girl Scout, we ALWAYS had a campfire night where we roasted marshmallows and made s’mores. I like mine just a little bit golden. Not too burnt because I don’t like the taste of it. And then putting in between a graham cracker and a Hershey bar

[@Pumpkin675]

Ian’s aging like fine wine 😍

[@gammagaming2468]

The only times that I eat s’mores is during June during our annual camping trip. It’s always after a long day of playing in the water with Family, taking hikes and playing games with the kids. Once the sun goes down the campfire is started up and everyone gathers to enjoy the heat. Then the s’mores come out, we always have one person sets up the graham crackers and chocolate and everyone gets some marshmallows and roasts them how they like, I like my burnt. Then we line up and get our marshmallows put on the crackers and chocolate. Then we just sit around telling stories enjoying s’mores, I’m so excited for this years trip.

[@fernandareis7477]

This was an open, easy interview. Had the relaxed feel of being right there around the campfire with these two convivial gentlemen. Wood love to roast my marshmallow over that fire while sharing sharing some BrothersBondBourbon.

[@marysmith3400]

Wow, such a nice and relaxing conversation. Truly inspiring getting to spend time with the family in nature. Since I was a little girl I always loved being in the outdoors and camping with my dad. We would always roast s’more‘s and I particularly would make sure that I never burnt my marshmallow. I think it tastes best when it is lightly browned on the outside and gooey in the middle, Slap some chocolate bars and graham crackers around it and joy that ooey gooey goodness of sweetness!

[@iansomerhalder9755]

Nice that's glamorous

[@katietaylor7059]

When I was a kid I just tried to keep my marshmallow on the stick! It’s also fun when it catches on fire and you get to blow the flames out before you eat it!! This was such a fun interview to watch. It seemed like you’ve known each other for awhile! My husband and I have actually discussed renting an RV to take the kids camping so thanks for the opportunity to enter this contest!

[@bernadettemaywhort2127]

This is still my favorite interview...ever. 😄 I haven't toasted marshmallows in years. I only did it a couple of times, with my best friend, in our front yard, when we were kids. And the way I would toast a marshmallow is...I would hold it over the fire...until it was literally 'on' fire. 🔥 And then I would just eat it...without taking the blackened outer layer off. I guess I'm just weird that way. 😆

[@lorraineabrisch2494]

Hi Ian, I love your passion for the environment, your family, and making the world a better place. My favorite way to make s’mores was with my 2nd graders when I taught elementary school. We would have an indoor camping day once during the school year. We set up a tent and a pretend glowing fire in the middle. The kids got to bring in their sleeping bags and flashlights. We would read stories by the campfire, do fun learning activities and play games. My teacher assistant toasted marshmallows in a little toaster oven and we made s’mores for the kids! The kids always enjoyed our fun indoor camping day. ☺️

[@brookethrelkeld6224]

Loved this interview so much! It brought back so much joy! When I toast my marshmallows, I like them to be super warm and gooey. A light brown but never past that! I don’t like them burnt:)

[@hey242003]

Camping is one my my greatest pleasures. Sun or rain I love it! Sitting around the fire with my nephew's while they make up wonderful stories of superheroes for a dream they may have had, we laugh and roast marshmallows. It gives me hope for a brighter future, especially in these dark times. Ian is a man I really look up too, his positivity, his charm and grace, and I hope one day my nephew's will have the outlook on life that he has. ⛺️🔥💖

[@laurly_f]

I can't remember the last time I roasted marshmallows. Watching this the warmth , the texture and taste all came back. The closest thing I've had recently is eating the baked marshmallows off sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving. Watching the campfire makes we want to do the real thing again.

[@andreacunning7973]

This interview was so heartwarming! I like my marshmallows to be burnt. I don't know who else likes putting the marshmallow and blowing it out and eating it. I love the crunch too.

[@mishk7a3]

My favorite way to roast a marshmallow is to burn it to a crisp and then s’mores it up!! Loved this episode and love Brothers Bond Bourbon!!
