When he’s not hitting up CW events in New York City, attending Vampire Diaries fan conventions in Brazil, and dancing the night away with Julie Plec in France, Ian Somerhalder is most likely spending his summer enjoying a fresh cup of coffee…with US President Barack Obama.
And just in case you think we’re making this incredible news up, here’s proof of the glorious moment:
The Vampire Diaries actor and recently named U.N. Ambassador met with the influential US leader on Thursday, June 7 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California to discuss green initiatives and environmental concerns. Ian even tweeted a few details about their “surreal” coffee date: “Just spent my morning w/this man talkn green energy,a better America&being a young American-wow http://www.barackobama.com/young-americans.” (Also in attendance were Dianna Agron, Alexis Bledel, Adam Rodriguez, Ben McKenzie, Jeremy Renner, Anna Kendrick, Sophia Bush, Zachary Quinto and more young Hollywood stars!)
How lucky is Ian? Or, better yet, how lucky is President Obama? Oh, what we’d give to listen in on their conversation and learn all about their exciting policy-making ideas on making the world a better place!
If you ever got the chance to have coffee with anyone in the world who would you choose and why? Tell us in the comments!

I’d choose Hugo Chavez and I’d ask him why he is so narrow-minded in his idealogy? I could choose the Pope and I’d ask him the same question! Granted, I am Catholic and I do not follow his logic!
@cinseg1 Hugo Chavez would definitely be interesting! I’d personally love a meetup with Harry Houdini — just to get all his secrets!
