Ian Somerhalder is ticklish!
Ian Somerhalder (actor, Damon Salvatore in "The Vampire Diaries") is mega ticklish! He's been asked if and where he is ticklish on a couple of occasions early in his career, and has also admitted to considering being tickled on his feet a torture:
Ticklish? Yes

On Ian's old website, he used to do a regular Friday Q&A with fans, The Friday Five - A Mini Interview Every Week, where he answered 5 questions each week. Here's one of the questions, asked on March 12, 2004:
4. Where are your ticklish spots?
That’s really fucking personal! Kidding…feet and ribs. Ssshhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone though…

Ian was asked in an on-line chat, “Are you ticklish?” He responded, “
Yep, I am very sensitive…all over.”
Here's some more information taken from a French fan blog:
Ian mesure 1,75m et est très chatouilleux des pieds !
Ian is 1, 75m and is very ticklish on his feet !

Here's a French interview with Ian, which was posted in an online magazine, Le Monde, if I am not mistaken, but has since been archived in a couple of Ian Somerhalder fan blogs:
-La dernière fois que vous avez failli mourir ... de rire?
-En me voyant et en m'écoutant dans un épisode de " LOST " doublé en espagnol. Hilarant!
-Mis à part se retrouver seul au monde, quelle serait la pire des tortures pour vous?
-Se faire chatouiller les pieds! Encore plus hard: se faire lécher les pieds!
-C'est du vécu?
-Fatalement! Mais je ne vous dirai pas dans quelles circonstances...
(in translation)
Q: The last time you almost died... laughing?
Ian: On seeing me and hearing me in an episode of "Lost" doubled in Spanish. Hilarious!
Q: Apart from being alone in the world, what would be the worst torture for you?
Ian: I can't handle my feet being tickled! Or even worse: being licked
Q: Is that from an experience?
Ian: A fatal one! But I will not say under what circumstances ...

(I'm guessing he's too ticklish to have his feet worshiped?)
Here's a fun little Ian Fun Fact from an Italian fan site. In Ian's Biography, one of the facts is:
Soffre in modo incredibile il solletico
(in translation)
He is incredibly ticklish

Ian was also threatened to be tickled for information by Kelly Ripa during an appearance on "Regis & Kelly":

Kelly: Is it a flashback they're having you?
Ian: I... can't...
Kelly: You can't reveal? What if I tickle you?
Ian (grins):
Tickle me? Really?
Kelly: I... I will resort to it!
Ian: I can be persuaded, Kelly!
(I wish she actually tickled him, but, o well!)
During an appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon", at the end of the show Ian, Jimmy and Rosie O'Donnell were playing DJ Hero (or whatever it's called). When Ian was playing Rosie started fondling him and when she touched his ribs he sort of jumped and squirmed and giggled, looking super ticklish! He kept saying "Rosie, you're messing me up!"

Yeah, that was a sweet little jump Rosie got out of Ian when she touched his ribs! LOL!
Ian is so hot on "The Vampire Diaries" -- he's appeared shirtless several times already, as has the equally hot Paul Wesley.
Great to know how ticklish Ian really is! Thanks!

Update: Ian Somerhalder used to answer fan questions on Formspring and was asked about his ticklishness:
Hey, Ian, great job on "The Vampire Diaries"! You're a better Damon, then the Damon in the book!
🙂 And my question is silly:
I read you're very ticklish and was wondering is that true and, if so, do you have ticklish feet?

Thank you so much. Glad I can be of comparison. Ha, well in certain places 😉

Update 2: Ian Somerhalder has ticklish armpits, too, and gets tickled by Paul Wesley during a convention:

Paul tries to lift Ian's arm and make him smile, and when Ian keeps a straight face he tickles his armpit/under arm for 1-2 sec and Ian starts laughing!! He really is extremely ticklish everywhere!!

Paul tickles Ian in the armpit! xD
These two together are too strong!
AHAHAHAHAH

Update 3: In addition to having ticklish armpits, Ian seems to be very ticklish on his belly/sides as proved by the pic of last year's Comic Con reunion on Lost, where Maggie Grace tickled him during a cast photoshoot! If he always reacts like that, imagine HOW ticklish his feet mus be!
