Ian Somerhalder, who played the sarcastic, brooding bloodsucker Damon Salvatore on "The Vampire Diaries", didn’t want his character to have a happy ending. On the contrary, he felt that Damon deserved to die.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Somerhalder and his costar Paul Wesley revealed that they actually fought over how their characters' stories would end.




"We both wanted to die at the end of the show, we wanted the brothers to go out with a bang together," Wesley explained. "And we were fighting over who would die. And I ended up getting it and you were a little jealous. You have to admit, you were a little jealous."

"Well, here's the deal, define jealous,” Somerhalder replied. “[What] Paul and I were discussing was ultimately these guys came into town, they destroyed everything. They met Elena, who is this 17-year-old kid, turned into a killer. She burned down her house."




He concluded by expressing some disappointment over how things actually turned out.

"It was more poetic for these two brothers to go away and to let these humans sort of resettle back into their town,” he said. “But, whatever, I lost that battle. I lost a lot of battles."
