Ian Somerhalder Azzaro Pour Homme, Photos, a Sneaky Fan Video of the Shoot, Plus Ian Somerhalder Teen Model
Ian Somerhalder and Ana Beatriz Barros on the set of the Azzaro Pour Homme campaign shoot.
Well if this isn't a perfect opportunity to post a bunch of photos of Ian Somerhalder and call it work, it must not be Wednesday. The Vampire Diaries actor's newest role is the face of a sexy men's fragrance. Let's look at some photos related to the Ian Somerhalder Azzaro Pour Homme campaign with model Ana Beatriz Barros, as well as some from his early years as a model (you know he started at 10 years old?). Plus, Staff dug up a sneaky fan video captured from the sidelines of the campaign's video shoot.

The Lake Como set of the Ian Somerhalder Azzaro Pour Homme campaign shoot.
The Ian Somerhalder Azzaro Pour Homme campaign was shot last July in Lake Como, Italy. It was hard to keep quiet. (Liza found this shot on Instagram taken by someone who lives next door to the shoot location. The woman mis-identified Ian as "James Patterson," then later "ROBERT Patterson," which we think is awesome.)

Try to ignore Ian's cuticle abuse on set, even though I've just pointed it out twice (my bad). Instead look to the right of his co-star Ana Beatriz Barros: that's L'Oréal Paris Elnett hairspray ($14.99 at well.ca) and what looks like a Denman bristle brush at work in the hands of hairstylist Maxime Mace. (The makeup artist for the campaign shoot was Tatsu Yamanaka.)

Some scenes got a little steamy.

Tough day at the office.
An Ian Somerhalder lip-lock for Ana Beatriz Barros on the set of the Azzaro Pour Homme shoot.
“I like the idea that the Azzaro Pour Homme fragrance has literally been around the world seducing women,” says Ian via press release. “I think that when a man wears fragrance, he instinctively knows that this is above all for the benefit of others. The intention of seduction is always there.”
Some press-release "quotes" feel... made up. These kinda don't. Right?
Ian Somerhalder teases the coming Azzaro campaign with Blue Steel via his Instagram feed.
Via Instagram, Ian says, "So cool to be the new face of #AzzaroPourHomme… wow. I think the ladies are going to dig this scent -- because one must smell delicious for the ladies :)"

The official ad image. We weren't supposed to show it to you until April 1st, but some schmucks have already broken the embargo and thrown it onto the web, which forces us to follow suit.

Ian Somerhalder thinks I stole his grey t-shirt.
"Have you seen my grey t-shirt?"
Ian Somerhalder has recovered from the loss of his grey t-shirt.
It's no grey t-shirt. But there's a cosy grey cardigan at the other side of this link. Ian's big into animal rights, clean energy, and environmental responsibility. He founded the Ian Somerhalder Foundation in 2010 to help with the issues. The Azzaro Pour Homme bottle is refillable.

Now I like a green t-shirt.

I thought about this photo for Liza's recent bath soak post. Sorry, what?
Sure, I'll have a Corona in the bath with you, Ian Somerhalder.

That. is. Stella. Tennant. In a 1995 Versace campaign with a baby-faced teen model Ian Somerhalder.
Stella Tennant and Ian Somerhalder, Vercace, 1995
He's about 16 here. And apparently smoking in ads was still allowed and considered the height of fashion. As was this jacket.
Ian Somerhalder, Versace, 1995 -- into the woods or what??
Bet the stylist or whoever tucked the dry leaves around Ian's face for this Versace campaign regrets it now. Or not.
Ian Somerhalder, tween heartthrob -- wonder if he hates this photo now?

Tiger-Beat cute. Love that shirt. Photographer: Indira Cesarine.
Ian Somerhalder test photos -- at least it looks like a test photo.

Ian Somerhalder test shoot -- definitely a test shoot.
Well, I had the Dorothy Hamill hair cut when I was a kid. Looked better on me than on Ian. Truth. Photographer, Len Irish.
Preppy and retro Ian Somerhalder -- kinda dig it.
Looking preppy for Guess. "In the fashion business, if you’re a creative director or you’re a designer, it’s a very creative business and you can drive it," Ian told CBS Watch magazine in their April 2014 issue. "As talent in the fashion world, it’s significantly more vapid."
Ian Somerhalder looking adorably geeky. ADORABLE.
Geek-squad cute, right?
Got room for a passenger on that bike, Ian Somerhalder? Of course you do.

Poor Ian Somerhalder. So handsome, and then... that hat.
I do not understand the styling in this shot.

Hellz yeah we need a close-up of that Blue Steel.
I'm not sure that's enough photos. I've put Staff on the job of scoping for additional interesting images. If she finds anything compelling, she'll upload them here. This is the one job she'll enjoy.
