Joseph talks to Varon mag


Joseph Morgan on joining Twitter and finding fake Twitter profiles in his name: “I decided to open a Twitter account, and since I had no followers I texted Nina [Dobrev], who plays Catherine and Elena on the show, and said, ‘Would you mind just putting a tweet out saying this is actually me?’ There were already a couple of impersonators on there pretending to be me… I followed one of these guys for, like, a week and he’d write stuff like, ‘Going to set, really nervous,’ and so on. So that’s part of the reason I joined. And also, his grammar was so bad that I thought I’d do something about this representation of me. Overnight I had 22,000 followers just because of Nina’s tweet and the anticipation of this character.” . (Follow Joseph and JustJared.com on Twitter @JosephMorgan @JaredEng and @JustJared!)
Joseph Morgan on who he drew inspiration from for Klaus on The Vampire Diaries: “Tom Cruise’s Lestat in Interview With The Vampire. Especially for when we were doing the period stuff. It’s the idea that you don’t want to be alone in a room with this guy because he can kiss you or kill you, and it all means the same to him. For the sociopathic nature of the character, I drew on Hannibal Lecter. That kind of playfulness…”
Joseph Morgan on being in Immortals with John Hurt: “We did a table reading before we started filming. John Hurt started reading in his amazing voice and it was like, you know… ‘Many moons ago…’ And I just sort of died inside. It was so amazing.”
On Immortals, out November 11: “I play a character called Lysander, who’s a rival to Henry Cavill’s character, Theseus. When King Hyperion starts attacking our town, we have to escape. There’s a scene in which the Minotaur uses a huge mullet to smash in my genitals and destroy my hopes of reproducing. So this seven foot guy with a huge real mullet is told, ‘Just stop it right before it hits him. Swing it like it’s gonna hit really hard, though’.”

FIRST LOOK: JOSEPH MORGAN'S 'VAMPIRE' GLAM


FIRST LOOK: JOSEPH MORGAN'S 'VAMPIRE' GLAM

Jarett Wiesel
Two weeks from today, The Vampire Diaries season three will be unleashed upon the world -- and in an attempt to help make the next 14 days pass a wee bit easier, I'm pleased to present the first look at Joseph Morgan's glammed up gallery shot!
Rocking an extremely slick suit, the Brit looks every inch the ravishing ravager who turned Mystic Falls upside down in season two, turning both the actor and the character into indispensable fan favorites!
And according to creator Kevin Williamson, Klaus is just getting started since he tells TheInsider.com fans should prepare themselves to meet more Originals in the months to come! "I love the mythology behind the family of Originals. I like that there are eight members -- the husband, the matriarch, someone cheated and a hybrid was born. Klaus is the bastard child of this entire family that we haven't met yet, so as long as the show continues to thrive, every single one of them will show up!"
For more Vampire Diaries action, click any of the links above ... or just continue to stare at Joseph's handsome mug until the September 15 premiere. It's ok. I'm not judging.
