In 2015, Nina Dobrev announced onInstagramthat her time as Elena onThe Vampire Diarieswas sadly over.
But why did Nina Dobrev really leaveThe Vampire Diaries?
“That was the plan from the get-go,” the actor toldHarper’s Bazaar.
“If anything, the fact that [leaving] terrified me drove me even more.
For some, her filmography may seem sparse since her breakthrough role.
But, as Dobrev explained, the roles she aims for aren’t necessarily the ones viewers would expect.
“I don’t want to play a teenager anymore.
I want to play adult roles and be challenged and work with great filmmakers and tell incredible stories.”
“BringingWoman 99to life … has been a dream come true,” Dobrev toldVariety.
“It’s so important to tell women’s stories written by women with women for women.”
