Paul Wesley Joins ‘The Late Bloomer’

Paul Wesley Lands A New Role!

The Vampire Diaries handsome Paul Wesley plays the sexy and sensitive Salvatore, Stefan, in the CW’s hit supernatural series. The talented TVD stars booked a new role on the upcoming comedy film, The Late Bloomer. According to The Wrap, Paul joins Brittany Snow and Blake Cooper as the latest additions to the cast, which stars; Johnny Simmons, Jane Lynch, Maria Bello and JK Simmons.  Paul is slated to co-star in the film, which marks Kevin Pollak’s directorial debut, but no details on his role have been released yet/

Simmons plays Dr. Peter Newmans, a sex therapist who works in an office headed by Caroline (Jane Lynch). He’s got two well-meaning wingmen in Luke (“SNL’s” Beck Bennett) and Rich (“Silicon Valley’s” Kumail Nanjiani) and his young friend Josh (Cooper). His suffocating parents James (Oscar winner JK Simmons) and Brenda (Maria Bello) bemoan his lack of a girlfriend. There’s a perfect candidate in the girl next door (Snow) but she’s dating a quintessential alpha male.

After Pete is knocked out in a pick-up basketball game, ER doctors discover a tumor and after it’s removed, he experiences what would normally be years of puberty in a matter of weeks. Against those odds, can Pete master his raging manhood and get the girl?

“The Late Bloomer” is based on the life story of noted journalist and author Ken Baker, who battled with a skull base tumor that wreaked havoc on his hormonal system and prevented him from entirely going through puberty until age 27. Baker’s experience inspired his non-fiction book “Man Made: A Memoir of My Body.”
