Like flared jeans and choker necklaces, vampires always come back in style eventually. It’s no surprise — especially when Hollywood keeps finding such great actors to play them.
Megan Thee Stallion revealed that she has a soft spot for vampire TV shows in July 2021, tweeting that she loved Nina Dobrev‘s character Elena Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries and even stopped watching when the actress left in the sixth season. (Dobrev returned two years later for the 2017 series finale.)
Though Ian Somerhalder‘s Damon Salvatore was Megan’s favorite on the CW show, it’s actually another bloodsucking drama that holds a special place in her heart: True Blood. “I’ve watched every season like 10 times… might be my favorite show lol,” she told a fan who asked if she’d seen it.
Not everyone sees how vampires are romantic. The entire Twilight cast has offered plenty of hilariously shady commentary about the blockbuster franchise over the years, and the most biting remarks are usually from Robert Pattinson.
“I guess the books are very romantic, but at the same time, it’s not, like, The Notebook romantic,” he said during a November 2019 conversation for Variety’s Actors on Actors. “The Notebook is very sweet and heartbreaking, but Twilight is about this guy, and he finds the one girl he wants to be with, and he also wants to eat her. I mean, not eat her, but drink her blood or whatever. It’s not that other people are telling them they can’t be together, it’s his own body telling him that.”
