How the actors of the TV series “The Vampire Diaries” have changed, after 15 years (11 photos)

The Vampire Diaries is the perfect TV series for teenage girls. After all, it has everything you need: romance, drama, cute quiet ladies, pretty vampires and dashing plot twists. The series was released at the right time (in 2009), since the first season was launched the next year after the film "Twilight", which literally drove teenagers crazy. Although... why just teenagers? Still, no one except them admits that they enjoyed watching all the seasons. And the series came out 15 years ago. Therefore, all 15-year-old schoolgirls have already turned thirty. I wonder if the vampires and other characters in the series have aged? Let's find out.
