Inter-phew with the Vampire! Diaries hunk Ian Somerhalder touts terrifically toned torso in new show trailer
His dedicated army of fans already know he looks simply fang-tastic.
But Vampire Diaries hunk Ian Somerhalder tried to ensure as many people as possible would get the message after he posted a trailer in which he appears almost completely naked on Instagram on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old, who plays jbloodsucker Damon Salvatore in the hit CW show, posted the short clip on his Instagram page for his 5.9 million followers to drool over.

Talk about a teaser: Ian Somerhalder shared a Vampire Diaries trailer of himself in the nude on Instagram Wednesday
Subtly drawing attention to his ripped physique, Ian said: 'Why is Damon naked in this new Vampire Diaries Trailer...?'
Of course, in the clip itself the same thought is voiced by character Alaric, played by Matthew Davis, who is slightly disturbed to see the wet vampire flouting around his living room with just a towel around his waist.
As he reclines a couch, he tells him, 'you know clothes would be nice.'
Alaric is soon left open-mouthed however, as Damon uses this as an excuse to whip off his covering and fling it on his face.

And, in keeping with the light atmosphere of the supernatural show, the first thing he wants to find out is what is going on in the love life of his brother Stefan, who is played by Paul Wesley.
Some other exciting moments from the teaser included Candice Accola's Caroline kissing and Stefan, while Caroline is also shown in bed with her best friend Bonnie, played by Kat Graham.
