Nina Dobrev Is Far Too Picky
Nina Dobrev’s big break came when she starred as Mia Jones in Degrassi: The Next Generation back in 2006. But she’s most famous for her role as Elena Gilbert on the teen fantasy drama, The Vampire Diaries. She left the show in 2015 and starred in the comedy film The Final Girls, which was a critical success. Unfortunately for her, it was short-lived.
Nina’s admitted herself that her standards are too high: “The things I want to do aren’t necessarily the things that are expected of me,” she said upon leaving The Vampire Diaries. “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, and that has meant being really picky.” But exciting mainstream roles just haven’t been coming her way.
