People LOVE Nina Dobrev. Believe us, she legit has a People’s Choice Award to prove it. The beautiful Scarborough native has been in and out of the City the past couple months working on xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, in which she stars as Becky. Known best for her work as Elena Gilbert on The CW‘s The Vampire Diaries, she just came back to Toronto after a wild weekend at Coachella partying it up with the likes of Scott Eastwood and Josh Hutcherson – the former just in Toronto visiting Vin Diesel as they begin work on Furious 8.
The Cast of xXx prepared to send-off Diesel today as they filmed in Hamilton near the Port Authority. A party was thrown for him this past weekend although Co-Star Ruby Rose and Dobrev were away at Coachella. The pair also have been spending much time together during production hanging on weekends among other things, playing archery tag and also pranking one another invading the other’s trailer on-set. They even both don beanies by Puppies Make Me Happy as a symbol of their friendship. Don’t believe us? See what Rose was wearing when we met her here.
Dobrev was visited on-set by her mother and a female friend, Lane Cheek, today and they spent some quality time together following a long day on-set.
Dobrev was amazingly sweet to pose for a Selfie with me, complimenting my Samsung S7, “That camera takes amazing photos!”. Thank you, Nina! You have amazing taste.
We have met Dobrev a few times over the past few years and she always is a sweetheart. She next can be seen in Crash Pad and also Arrivals. Our sources say she also was in the running to star in Baywatch but that didn’t happen sadly.
With Diesel wrapping on xXx: The Return of Xander Cage and Ice Cube just arriving to begin work, production continues on the January 2017 Paramount Pictures release through May.
