When it came toThe Vampire Diaries, Paul Wesley, the charming actor behind Stefan Salvatore, had his fair share of unforgettable moments. But looking back, he revealed one thing he truly regretted. Despite the show’s massive success and a dedicated fanbase, Wesley felt a pang of regret about a specific scene.

As fans still binge-watch the series, Wesley’s candid confession adds a layer of depth to his character and the show itself. So, what could possibly haunt a vampire like Stefan? Let’s dive into his thoughts and find out what’s been keeping him up at night!
From Brooding Vampire to Captain Kirk: Wesley Reflects on TVD Days
Few knew whoPaul Wesleywas beforeThe Vampire Diariesput him on the map. As Stefan Salvatore, the brooding vampire with a heart, he captivated audiences for eight seasons. But after all those years, Wesley was more than ready to move on. Sure, he pocketed a hefty $30-40K per episode, but there was one thing he really hated about the gig—dancing.
In a hilarious interview,Wesley revealed his disdain for the awkward dance scenes. It was a comedy of errors, and it left him cringing. Recalling how he had to dance without music, just shuffling along in silence, he chuckled:

You just feel like an idiot… I’m a moron.
Despite not missing the vampire life, Wesley acknowledged the impact of his role, as he was always recognized as Stefan, not the countless other characters he portrayed. Even after his run onTVD, he landed a role as Captain Kirk inStar Trek: Strange New Worlds, which he eagerly embraced. He explained:
I jumped at this role because it allows me to be something other than Stefan in a big way.

While Paul Wesley had fun moments onThe Vampire Diaries, the memories of dancing like a fool stuck with him. Thankfully, he found his way to new adventures, leaving the vampire lore behind and stepping into fresh opportunities.
