PAUL WESLEY: Love & Hate of Vampire Diaries, Brotherly Bond with Ian Somerhalder & William Shatner Advice #insideofyou #paulwesley #vampirediaries #startrek - Розваги
Stefan was my favorite male character on Vampire Diaries. I just love him. He is also an amazing Kirk. I love Paul, he needs to come back for another one of these please.
I agree 💯 I just love Stefan/Paul❤
You got to get Ian Somerhalder for your podcast. Love to hear his stories about Smallville.
pretty sure he has been on here,or his wife Nikki
@@shaunduquette5992 ian hasn't been on no
He cant fit in this room ian is huge now dude did not skip the gym
Ugh, yes! I’d love to see Ian Somerhalder on here.
Yes yes yes !!!!! Please Ian Please please please please please and then more pleases
I'm a big fan of Paul Wesley, thank you for having him on. Could you please also get Chris Wood on your show? Another great actor from The Vampire Diaries and he's the perfect person to talk to about mental health, as he is the founder of the mental health campaign I Dont Mind. ❤
tvd really helped me with my anxiety as a teenager (kinda ironic given the nature of the show) so i'll forever be grateful for the show
For what it's worth Michael, you will always be Lex Luthor to me no matter what else I see you in. Despite the ups and downs of it all you did an absolutely phenomenal job sir! Truly a pleasure having you as my generation's Lex 🤝🏼 25:49
This interview was a joy to listen to and I like the rapport between the two of you and also Paul’s dedication to animals and his lifestyle 😊Thank-you for a wonderful episode 🤩
I just finished listening to this episode and it was delightful. Paul definitely opened up and had so many great stories. He has such a positive attitude. I hope that we get a part 2. Best podcast ever!
As short as Paul's time on Smallville was, it's funny that his character outlived all the other Luthor. Because he's never mentioned again, there's no mentions of his death. Also, unlike the rest of his siblings, he was never cloned nor resurrected. As far as we know he just walked away from all their family drama at the end of his episode and just...lived a long and normal life as a result.
A hidden gem of his: Tell Me a Story. Watched it on the CW a couple years back. Fantastic little mini-series with a great cast; highly recommend.
Yes! He was so good in that! Especially season two.
Absolutely both as Eddie and Tucker - fantastic performances from Paul 👍👍

Such an underrated show. Both seasons are amazing. Deserve a season 3
@@darky1376 it really did deserve a season 3. So upsetting when CBS All Access canceled it ugh 😑
TVD was my life literally and I grew up with this series ❤ I rewatch all seasons once in a while ❤
I'm here for you, Michael; your incredible guests and insightful interviews with them are just a bonus. 😉❤
I know that everyone here loves Paul, as well. ❤
Had the pleasure of meeting Paul a few years ago and he was really chill. Love the way he described how he feels about nature, honestly same.
Vampire Diaries is literally my comfort show ❤
Same. ❤
Mine too 🖤
I was watching it again today.
Nice to see you guys reunited. Timely, as Paul is currently on "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds".
Paul is such a gem of a human. Got to meet him years ago at a Vegas TVD con. Hope you’ll have him on again!
You have a marvelous ability to create a safe & comfortable zone for your guests. Wonderful interview. Many thanks!
I never saw the Vampire Diaries but I have seen the second season of ST: SNW and Paul Wesley kills it as James T. Kirk. I have publically stated that I would watch any new Star Trek with him as Kirk and Peck as Spock and I am a die-hard fan of the original. Great interview and I am hoping we see Paul in season 3.
Give it a try, but don't go past S3 or S4 - You'll regret it.
I just finished SNW Season 2 a few days ago and I can say I have been a big fan of Paul since the early seasons of Vampire Diaries and he's a SUPERB James T. Kirk. I really enjoyed this episode so Thank you Michael and Ryan these interviews really have become the highlight of my week.
Not really. He is far from Shatner's Kirk. Chris Pine was different but I'd say he was closer to his enthusiasm. I can't see Paul Wesley's version being part of the most famous episode that brought us the first Interracial Kiss
@@suzygirl1843 I said he is a superb James T Kirk. I never said he was a carbon copy or that he is exactly like Shatner's Kirk. He literally talks about this in this episode that he and the show runner didn't want to do a Shatner impersination for this role. If you're not into this version of the character you are of course free to have your own opinion about it.
you people never cease to amaze me@@suzygirl1843
The Luthor brothers reunite finally in Inside of You to set their differences aside lol. This is going to be a fun one for sure.
I totally forgot about that.
I forgot that too.
I still remember the episode of Smallville where the old women shows Lex his future. Superb writing and acting, wonderful.
Love to hear how the hike goes with the pups :) Love hearing all the stories from all your guests, and this week was awesome with Paul on it!
Loving Paul in Strange New Worlds. Never watched Vampire Diaries until today - I can tell I'm going to love it.
Enjoy the wild Vampire Diaries ride!!! 🧛♂️ it's fun!!
Stefan and Elena FOREVER! ❤ Prefered Stefan over Damon always Paul. I'll forever be sad that Stelena weren't endgame 😢. Thank you for making my late teens full of happy memories. TVD is better than Twilight. Elena and Stefan are better than Bella and Edward 🥰🥰.
Idk what Michael is talking about i was OBSESSED with him playing Lex Luthor! Absolutely iconic
I loved Paul in Everwood! Emily Van Camp got her start there too. Hope you get her on the show at some point. I know my TV shows Rosenbaum! Thanks for this one as always… Superb! ❤
I love Everwood. Such a wonderful family show. I think Paul is still friends with Emily
Was that Paul? I think Pratt was on that show too? I haven’t seen it in ages though.
Love Paul. Aussie TVD fan here. Saw Paul for the first time ever on the OC, and then Smallville.
Loved this interview and hearing all the audition stories. Michael you made me laugh re: the puppy advice. My puppy died in 2019 aged 8, I hope that someday I can get another Vizsla.
Ive watched TVD later in life and never thought that it was an immature show, in the contrary, its was a well made supernatural show
Yeah, I think maybe people just have a negative view of it bc of some of the other shows on the cw.
Your podcast interviews are always so enjoyable. It's intriguing conversations and it's nice to hear everyone's views on your topics that you bring attention to and refreshing that you and your guests speak openly and honestly.
Paul is such a great guy and actor vampire diaries is one of my absolute favorite shows loved from beginning to end congratulations on being cast as James T Kirk on strange new worlds really looking forward to watching the show love you Paul thank you for all your great work 😊❤
Thank you for a great podcast episode! I loved hearing Paul's experiences in life. Your talk was very natural and real! ❤
So weird but so awesome to see a completely different side of him than I saw in TVD and smallville. Would love to meet him sometime, been to where TVD has filmed a couple times. Such a beautiful town.
Love this!!!! Everything is interesting! Great questions and I love the convos hearing from Lex and Stefan!! Sharing both their experiences and how they relate! More power for this poscast!!!! Been a fan of Michael since Sorority Boys here!! And my favorite Lex Luthor!! The besssttt!
Michael hun thank you for your amazing podcast ❤ I just found it today and I have been binge watching haha, I have been unwell since April this year and can barely leave my house except for medical appointments which is mentally exhausting in itself but I’m also dealing with constant discomfort and pain unfortunately so I feel like I’m in a constant battle to stay sane and so I’m always trying to find things to distract my mind, which your podcast has helped me with greatly! You and your guests are an absolute pleasure to listen to and so entertaining, I have just realised that I have been watching for about 7 hours 😂 thank you for being my greatest distraction ❤❤❤❤❤
What a great interview! Thanks Michael and Paul! ❤ Lex was my favorite Smallville character and a Stefan was my favorite on Vampire Diaries. Had crushes on you both! ❤❤
Enjoying listening to this episode! I am learning so much about him. Inside of You is the best podcast!
this was a great episode! very easy to watch/listen to. I didn't even realize the time that's passed and it was done.
Im so happy to see Paul on this pod.
Been rewatching the vampire diaries and recently got done with my rewatch of the originals. This video is hype 🔥
Just burned through the "Vampire Diaries" recently, so this was super cool. Paul seems like such a down to earth person. Thanks for this ep. :)
I remember when Paul was on Wolf Lake, and I loved him on Vampire Diaries
This part 1:15:42 I went through this exact same thing. When you see your life pass before you, you realize the thing for which you're depressed is very small. I'm thankful that I've passes that phase.
No we need to bring back 22 episodes a year those are the best shows on television to watch these shows today with 5 episodes absolutely blow
THANK YOU, Mr. Rosenbaum, for showing others what REGULAR HUMANITY looks like. You're a Godsend, a blessing, and I appreciate you so so much 💗. God bless, and be safe ❤️
This was a great listen! Love them both
My sister owns the first three seasons of VD so I saw Paul in that. He seems like a cool, good guy. I enjoyed hearing more about his time doing that show and others, as well as his other endeavors. I like seeing the personal side to these celebrities too. You always bring out great content from your guests, Michael. Another successful and enjoyable episode.
I am loving his performance as Kirk on Strange New Worlds. I could fully see him leading a follow on series where many of the TOS episodes are reimagined.
No. That's not Kirk at all.
you people never cease to amaze me@@suzygirl1843
Loved this interview with Paul!!
I just got my ticket to meet Paul and Ian in Paris for vampire diaries convention 😍 great episode Michael, love everything about Inside of you
I only saw Paul recently in Star Trek, but he killed it so hard I'm an instant fan of his acting
Love Paul since Fallen and of course Stefan was my favorite, he was great and he is great. ❤❤
Big fan of Vampire Diaries. Paul had a great guest appearance on The Original's.
it's so interesting to find out that I actually have a tiny bit in common with such an apparently radically different person! love podcasts like Michael's that are really honest and conversational and allow us to get to know celebrities a tiny bit
Like what in common?
Ending with the voice imitations was too funny 🤣
Great episode! Season 2 was great. can't wait for more
I love Paul 🥰🥰😘😘😘 so glad for this interview. Thanks Mike!
Say what you will about the CW, if there's anything they've been great at, is setting up amazing potential "Brother bonds":
- Michael and Tom
- Jared and Jensen
- Ian and Paul
...need I say more???
Totally agree 👍 ❤
I love that they are all great friends offscreen, too. 😊
@@bean9619 very true - love that too.
Thanks Mike! Great show was elated to hear your interview with Paul. He's awesome.
I didn't plan on watching the entire thing but I honestly couldn't help myself it was so good
Brilliant conversation as usual. Makes my journey to and from work pass a lot quicker xxx
First visit here , so great to hear truth and evolved authenticity between guys , great energy , thank you for sharing , it helps us all heal , learn and grow 🙏 ✨
Such a great interview. I really enjoy your podcasts and your guests!
Loved this episode! Paul was a great guest.
I enjoyed this episode, especially, I'm Of Fan Smallville & The Vampire Diaries! It was fun seeing you guys getting to know each , sharing your lives with us viewers at home!😱🤣🥰🖥
I meet Paul at Galexycon NC a few weeks back Awesome guy! Nothing but great things to say about him Awesome episode as always Two Luthors Reunion ;) 💙🤘
Right there with you on the food/snack struggles, Michael - I've only recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but I still eat terribly, but I'm strongly considering going carnivore - I am aware of the health benefits of it, and also read that it can reverse or at least stabilize my diabetes - we got this!!!
You know what will help you?! Google low glycemic index foods. Basically carbs are your enemy. Veggies mostly have less sugar than fruits. If you do want to eat fruits go with berries, they are also low in sugars. Stay away from processed foods. Get rid of soft drinks. Drink more water and fresh juices. Stay away from junk food. You can still enjoy food just eat more healthy then junk if you can. I mean we all cheat here and there. Find products labeled “no or low sugar”. Exercise at least twice a week and go for 30 min daily walks. If you are overweight then lose a few pounds believe me all this stuff will work. Once you start eating healthy, you won’t crave unhealthy products. By the way, none fried chicken and fish are better than red meat. Hope these tips help. Let me know if you have questions. I have a degree in nutrition. I talk about lifestyle modifications all day.
Thank you for this! I was disappointed when y'all did Talkville episode and didn't interview him. ❤ Love him!
This was great! Loved this very much.
FINALLY!!! Paul came into your podcast!! This was great see and hear. I really hope he comes more often to talk about life. Is good to see the human Paul. 🫶🏻🙌🏼👏🏼 thank you Michael 💗
I remember the announcement that Paul was playing Kirk and Shatner's lovely heartfelt tweet about it. That is still SO weird that that happened on the plane, I can't wrap my head around the coincidence. Amazing. And amazing episode thank you Michael!
Also, Paul is a freaking phenomenal Kirk, especially in Season 2
I loved Paul in Wolf Lake ❤
Paul is such an awesome guy!! LOVE this episode!!!! Ian LOVES to talk, he would definitely be a fantastic guest!! 🙂
Great show. I enjoyed the last part more than I should have.
One of my favorite podcast EPs- Paul is the best!
Awww...look at him nursin' tht (post) quarantine lockdown stubble....
but, it looks so cute on him!
Yay I'm so happy that paul is on the show thanks Michael love him on. Star trek strange new worlds and the vampire diaries 😊
Fantastic episode!
Epic interview
I like how after interviewing Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, and Gates McFadden, you started to interview someone from the new trek era! I hope to see more Star Trek stars especially the new Trek actors on your podcast!
Paul definitely wasn't typecast in "Tell Me A Story".
Loved tht show..& its many twists by the way. ❤
Love these two guys. Fav actors from respective series
Amazing guests lately!! I'll admit, I was not 100% sold on Paul Wesley's Kirk last season but he brought his A-game in season two and won me over.
I'm here and I'm not stopping until we get a Poolhall Junkies reunion with Anson Mount!!
GREAT JOB GUYS! Paul is a pretty cool guy! Love him as Kirk! I totally didn't realize he played Lex's brother on Smallville. Good shit!
Loved this!!
I am so behind on Episode from the passed couple of months been very ill only caught up on a couple since James Gunn was on. Love Paul and a big fan of the vampire diaries, love him on Smallville. Hopefully I will be up to listen later to the Episode. Keep up the awesomeness Michael you Rock!!
Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode!
This was awesome you guys are so RELAXED
You relaxed me almost dosed off to nap n I never nap thx 😊
He's a kind, cool (and good looking) dude :) And it was good to hear anwers to things I always wondered but never googled about him :D Great episode ❤
Paul is a gem! ❤
Very very cool!
This episode is 🔥
💪👊
Your Cut to commerical left us with a cliffhanger with the pup 😅 that was perfect timing🎉
Lex and Stefan are my favorite characters from those shows ❤ loving this interview 😍
I loved this!! Michael + Paul?! Awesome episode. I hope Paul with talk about it with Ian lol. I also recommend checking out episodes with guests you don't know. I've listened to many with guests I'm not familiar with and have learned a lot and have had good reflective moments.
loved watching this!
Love listening to Paul tvd forever ❤️
Thank you Michael! You're amazing. Loved this interview. Please please please try to get Ian Somerhalder and Tom Welling in an interview together.... If not here then on Talkville.
I would never get tired listening to Paul talking about Nina, how they met 😍😍
The stuff I know PW from is : Wolf Lake, Fallen, Smallville, and The Vampire Diaries. People also have been saying he's great as Kirk.
I’ve been living in NYC for the past 20 years and I can’t see myself living anywhere else. I love that we have all 4 seasons and there is so much to do and see. Dirt and trash is a problem but it is what it is, I try to hang out in clean places
I’ve actually tried the brothers bond Bourbon and it’s actually really smooth. I’m quite impressed really
Michael, you were my favorite on Smallville as well...made me love Lex Luthor as a character... brought so much depth to the role.
