Environmental activist Ian Somerhalder wants his character on Vampire Diaries to be more earth-friendly. According to E! Online, he’s got some pretty good reasons why a green vampire would make a lot of sense.
First off, Somerhalder would like to swap his character Damon’s 1967 gas guzzling Camaro for the luxury electric, Karma Fisker.
“The Camaro is a cool car, but you stand behind the exhaust too long and you get sick. Damon has a lot of means to get the car. It looks like a Camaro, but it’s bigger and more beautiful and it’s completely green. It’s electric for the first 50 miles! You’ll have to fill your tank like two times a year,” Somerhalder told E!’s Marc Malkin.
And Somerhalder’s justification for why Damon would care about the environment? “You have this guy who’s lived almost two centuries,” he said. “And he realizes, I’m stuck here for the next millennium. I’ve watched the degradation of our earth and our planet, watched the population grow. I have to be around for the next thousand years, I might as well take care of the place. Plus, this car is as sexy as hell.”
