'Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev wants to play 'punk or drug addict'

Nina Dobrev has expressed an interest in making movies.

The Vampire Diaries star revealed that she'd be open to playing more edgy roles in the future.

"I want to become a different person, and that's what working in film allows," Dobrev told Nylon.

"I want to be a punk or a sweetheart or a drug addict!" she added. "There are so many things to explore."

The actress went on to admit that she is often irritated by the industry's perception of her.

"Sometimes they'll be like, 'She's not plain enough', or, 'She's not edgy enough'. That frustrates me," Dobrev confessed. "I feel like a blank canvas, and I wish people would be a little more open-minded."

Dobrev recently shot down rumours that she had rejected a proposal from her Vampire Diaries co-star and boyfriend Ian Somerhalder.

The 23-year-old insisted earlier this month that she would never agree to take part in a reality TV series.
