The Transformation Of Nina Dobrev From Childhood To 33 Years Old

Publish date: 2024-05-08

Having tackled teen dramas, supernatural romance, action movies, and sitcoms, Nina Dobrev made yet another career pivot in 2021, starring in the Netflix Christmas rom-com "Love Hard." In the film, Dobrev played a woman who traveled to meet up with a man she had a crush on from the internet — only to discover that she'd been catfished.

Dobrev was excited about getting a chance to appear in a romantic comedy. "I love rom-coms," she told Shondaland. "I especially loved ours because it's unique and doesn't take the rom-com genre seriously, and turns it on its head, which was really fun to do." Fans seemed to agree; according to Film Updates, the movie topped the Netflix charts worldwide!

Her co-stars on the film included "Silicon Valley" actor Jimmy O. Yang and "Never Have I Ever" lead Darren Barnet, who had nothing but good things to say about working with the "Vampire Diaries" alum. The role required some improvising, and Barnet said Dobrev was able to give as good as she got. "Nina was always a very worthy opponent, when it came to, if I gave an ad-lib and sometimes tried to stump her, she came right back and it made for some great scenes," he told Collider. "Some of those ad-libs made the cut, so our director and everyone else thought it worked out. She was really great."
