Nina Dobrev Talks People's Choice Moment With Ian Somerhalder: "It Was Just Honest"

Anyone who saw Nina Dobrev at the People's Choice Awards in that stunning dress knows the girl is flawless. And it turns out her handling of what could be an awkward moment is pretty flawless, too.

In her first interview since the PCA moment heard round the world—when Nina and her Vampire Diaries costar Ian Somerhalder joked about their breakup while accepting the "Best Chemistry" award—the 25-year-old actress told E! News why she decided to tackle the elephant in the room head on.

"It's just honest," Nina said of the on-stage moment. "All it was was just honest. You call a spade a spade."

And Nina revealed to us that she was the one who actually hatched the genius plan to address the split.

"I was trying to figure out, like what do you say in that situation?" she explained. "We were like, well, we're cool, we're friends and costars. He's a great person, I'm a great person…I mean, I think I'm pretty awesome.[Laughs.] So it doesn't need to be awkward and I think everyone expected it to be so awkward. We made fun of ourselves and just had fun."

Wait, you mean two celebrities actually managed to stay friends after a breakup? Color us impressed!

The duo's amicable split hasn't had a major impact on the show or Damon and Elena's beloved relationship, as the couple recently won our Best TV Couple of All Time Tournament.

Nina had nothing but kind words to say about Ian, who she dated for three years before splitting in May, telling us, "If you're with someone for that long, there's obviously the qualities in them that you enjoy and that doesn't change just because you're not together anymore. I have an enormous amount of respect and love for him and everyone. That doesn't change, it shouldn't, otherwise why were you with them?"

Spoiler:

The Vampire Diaries returns Thursday, Jan. 23 at 8 p.m. on the CW with its landmark 100th episode.

Actress Nina Dobrev stopped by Universal Studios Hollywood to talk to "Extra's" Mario Lopez about Season 5 of “The Vampire Diaries” and about winning the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Onscreen Chemistry with ex-boyfriend Ian Somerhalder.

Dobrev explained why she and Somerhalder made light of their breakup during their acceptance speech. "What’s more awkward is people's anticipation of it being awkward, and that's kind of why we made a joke of it."

Nina added she and Ian have a good relationship. “He's a great person and there's no reason to hate or cause problems."

When asked if there was anyone special in her life at the moment, the TV star responded, "Me!"

Does that mean she wants to be single? "I'm not choosing to do anything. I'm just choosing to exist and see what happens."

Mario said he would play matchmaker and asked what type of guy Nina likes. She laughed, "Well, that's the whole part of dating. I'm trying to figure it out."

As for the upcoming 100th episode of “The Vampire Diaries,” airing January 23 on the CW, Nina couldn’t give away much. "It’s so secretive that that they can’t even show me in the promo, or anything. I am physically a spoiler alert!"
