PHOTOS BY MICHAEL SCHWARTZ WORDS BY MARISA MELTZERNina Dobrev is not what you think.
Yes, you may recognize her from Degrassi (or alongside fellow cast member Drake in his “I’m Upset” video), The Vampire Diaries, or The Perks of Being a Wallflower. She’s highly recognizable—maybe you too are one of her 17.6 million Instagram followers. Lately she’s showing off a different side of herself: one that’s deeply invested in #TimesUp, has a dry sense of humor, has scene-stealing roles in independent films, and has Broadway dreams.

"I've always loved a challenge—if it scares me, that's an indication I should do it. "
