If there’s anything fans of The Vampire Diaries miss seeing the most, it is Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley’s bromance, not the Elena-Salvatore-brothers love triangle.

The actors have remained close friends since wrapping up their filming days, and launched a bourbon brand together; a business venture they're passionate about, and a nod to their bourbon-drinking vampire characters.

Ian and Paul are good friends and partners, but that doesn’t mean the friends haven’t had a bitter feud before!

Ian And Paul Fought Because Of This Reason

As fans of The Vampire Diaries already know, Ian’s character Damon Salvatore lived happily ever after with his lady love Elena aka Nina Dobrev. His younger brother, Stefan (Paul) wasn’t as lucky and sacrificed himself so they could have a happy ending.

Turns out, both Ian and Paul wanted their characters to die at the end of the series! The actors also fought over which one of them should have the honor to die in the season finale, but only one of them could.

Paul Wesley made the revelation in an interview with Access Hollywood. "We both wanted to die at the end of the show, we wanted the brothers to go out with a bang together," the actor said.

"We were fighting over who would die and I ended up getting it," he added.

"You were a little jealous. You have to admit, you were a little jealous." he joked, turning to his former co-star and on-screen brother.

The actors played brothers and vampires; Damon and Stefan, for eight years on the hit CW series. Ian Somerhalder explained he "felt it was more poetic for the two brothers to go away" since they'd already caused far too much trouble, ruined lives of everyone in the town of Mystic Falls and caused Elena to turn into a killer from a 17-year-old high schooler.

The actor hoped to see the "humans resettle back into their town" after the Salvatores exited their home, taking their eerie supernatural world back with them.

Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley are business partners now and have launched the Brother's Bourbon brand together. "Each moment of our friendship has led us here, to create this exceptional bourbon that we are thrilled to share with you" Wesley shared, alongside the announcement.
