On the cover: Nina Dobrev for Flare


Nina Dobrev takes the February 2011 cover of Flare Magazine.

I didn't love the cover when I first saw it, and I still think her pose is stiff and awkward. But I think the concept of her lying on a vibrant bed of flowers had potential if nothing else.

Dobrev, 22, quickly rose from a role on Degrassi to starring in the CW's hit the Vampire Diaries.

“I don’t see myself any differently than I did a few years ago,” she tells the mag. “Aside from the fact that I’ve moved over nine times and I’m now a bloodsucker. It’s been a step by step process and I’ve had the luxury of adjusting to every different phase.”

Lucky girl! I'm sure a ton of young Canadian actresses would love to be in her shoes.
