Pacey Witter & Damon Salvatore Bumped Into Each Other & Redefined Squad Goals

Did Julie Plec set this up? Regardless, when two of your favorite WB/CW stars randomly meet on the streets of New York City with their ladies and it's captured on camera, you know it's a good day. During a romantic stroll through the streets of East Village, Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed just casually bumped into Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger -- wait, what?! Yes, you read that right. On Oct. 12, the current CW stud had a quick chat with the old WB stud and their leading ladies, and the pictures make us really want some sort of collaboration on screen. Pacey and Damon spinoff anyone?

Nikki, 27, and her 36-year-old hubby have been showing off their cute PDA this week in NYC, heading to Broadway, walking right through Times Square and even taking on the crowds at Comic-Con. But this run-in was probably one of our favorites. The couple stopped to chat with Josh, who’s in town promoting season two of The Affair, and his leading lady, Diane, who of course is supporting him.

HollywoodLife.com was actually with Josh and Diane later on that evening at Paley Fest’s event for The Affair, where we chatted with Josh about his role as Cole, a man who’s wife just left him for another man.[jwplatform 0wkH3t2p]

6 Degrees Of Separation

After seeing Pacey and Damon Josh and Ian meet on the sidewalks of New York, we had to try and figure out a six degrees of separation between the two, besides the fact they both starred on The CW. Luckily, it wasn’t too hard for me: The Rules of Attraction. Ian of course played along side James Van Der Beek, who naturally played Josh’s BFF on Dawson’s Creek. There’s also Bianca Lawson who was in both TVD and Dawson’s. And then there’s Sarah Michelle Gellar who was also a famed WB vampire and is friends with Ian and starred alongside Josh in Cruel Intentions. Honestly, I could go all day.

And we can’t of course forget the most obvious here being that Josh and Diane were very close friends with Ian and his ex, Nina Dobrev. But anyways. Let’s fawn over these pics the rest of the day, shall we?
