THE VAMPIRE DIARIES star IAN SOMERHALDER has dismissed rumours he's in line for the lead role in the movie adaptation of erotic novel 50 SHADES OF GREY alongside NINA DOBREV.

The pair, who play love interests on the hit supernatural drama, are a couple in real life, and industry reports suggest they are in the running to play kinky lovers Anastasia Steele and businessman Christian Grey in the big screen take on E. L. James' phenomenally successful book.

However, Somerhalder has shot down the rumours, insisting bosses at Universal - the movie studio behind the movie - are sure to steer clear of a TV couple.

He tells U.S. show Extra, "I can't imagine Universal doing that, but that could be very interesting. I think if we were both in Fifty Shades Of Grey, people would still see us as (our Vampire Diaries characters) Elena and Damon."

伊恩·萨默海尔德（Ian Somerhalder）因为出演《吸血鬼日记》而被大家熟知。

最近有谣言称他即将在由情色小说《五十度灰》改编的电影里出演男一号克里斯蒂安·格雷（Christian Grey），而女主角安纳斯塔西亚·斯蒂尔（Anastasia Steele）则会由妮娜·杜波夫（Nina Dobrev）饰演。

这对现实生活中的情侣在电视剧《吸血鬼日记》中还上演着暧昧感情戏。

这时候，伊恩站出来辟谣了。

他强调该部电影的制作公司——环球影业的老板一定不会选择电视情侣。

另外他还说：“我实在是不觉得环球会让我们一起演，不过要是真一起演了可能效果会挺有趣。观众会继续把我们当埃琳娜（Elena）和达蒙（Damon）。”
