And if you are anything like us you know that there is plenty to love about this gal well
We all know the basics
She's stunning she stars on the CW's most popular show The Vampire Diaries
And she's just one of the friendliest people around
We bet there are tons of things you probably don't know about her for instance
Did you guys know that Nina is not her real name?
Yep, that's the truth
And if you want to learn more fun facts like that one stick around because we are giving you eight things you might not know
About our girl Nina first off let's talk about the whole name thing
While nina dobrev roles so nicely off the tongue her real name. It is a doozy
Are you guys ready for this? Okay? It is, Nikolina?
Constantan OVA de breva. I dare you to trying to say that three times fast
Nina was originally born in bulgaria a language that she's fluent in bt-dubs hence the very Eastern European sounding name
However, she obviously changed her name of professional purposes
And we can't say that we blame her coming in at number two. Did you guys know that Nina is a die-hard?
Yogi, I mean you could probably tell just by looking at her bangin, bod
But this girl had some straight-up insane yoga. Skills don't believe me. We're gonna let this one do the talking
There yeah
I'm kind of just sore from watching that but moving right along to number three
There is a good chance you already know this about Nina, and I kind of already referenced it to be honest
But we had to include it just in case and that is where she got her start similar to Canadian rapper Drake
Nina started from the bottom and kicked off her acting career by starring in the teen drama Degrassi trickling
When we're bad we're gonna Gareth will beat you beat
You might even try to eat you we're not worst at see the baby. We're Degrassi go
That clip does seem light-hearted, but she played a teen mom from a rival high school whose relationship with this character named JT
Got him killed basically and you guys thought T V. G. It was dramatic
Well coming in at number four we're sure that you guys all know
about Nina's on and off screen romance with Ian Somerhalder
But did you guys know that he is not the first co-star?
She's dated well apparently Nina had a brief romance with her Degrassi co-star Daniel Clark who played Sean
Our number 5 thing you didn't know about Nina has to do with the People's Choice Awards
And it's a pretty distinct honor back in 2012 she won a People's Choice Award for her work on the Vampire Diaries
But get this my friends. She was not even on the ballot
Yes, TBD
Fans are so hardcore that they actually banded together to vote her as favorite TV drama actress
And it was the first time ever that something like this has happened at the awards show talk about loyal fan
Moving along to number 6. Did you know that Nina has both beauty and brains
Before she decided to pursue acting full-time. She was studying sociology
At Ryerson University in Toronto Canada, and she had this to say about her major
I'd rather do what I'm doing at work
And then go to school to learn about something completely different that I don't know much about so I can expand
However her stint at university did not last long because she quit in 2008 for full-time acting
I notice a education is great
But she probably made the right choice here TBD would not be the same without her
And at number seven did you know that Nina was bit by a monkey well don't do that even if it look at that?
Cute little monkey that's cute. Yeah is this cute
How cute is that a monkey beat? You didn't he?
For the spot is attached something on your wrist he did he did right there
You see that scar and so now I have no feeling in my thumb that
in
Fame all right our last fun fact you probably did not know about Nina
She has dated a real cop before yes, though. She's dated co-stars in the past
She dated a regular old cop right before the Vampire Diaries debuted
But it didn't last long why you might ask well. She said this during an interview quote
I was surfing and there was this cute boy. He asked me out, and then I found out he was a police officer
I was immediately very paranoid. I was so self-aware that I would do something wrong or cross the street
He would give me a jaywalking ticket
