We haven’t known him for very long, but we’re already pretty much in love with Joseph Morgan (Klaus). Instead of just coasting on the whole “hot-guy-with-an-accent” thing he has going on, Joseph rises above in oh so many ways. So on this, the day of his 30th birthday, we offer this tribute to his amazingness with 10 things we love about him.
.
10. He’s a hot guy… with an accent. Are we shallow? Yes. But with someone this good looking, we don’t really care. Besides, we don’t love him just for his blue-green eyes and Welsh accent…
.
9. Let me call you sweetheart. Since we’re kind of Klaus obsessed at the moment, we truly adore the way Joseph stays in character via Twitter: “And for those of you who don’t like surprises… Too bad sweethearts ;)” Chilling, much?
.
8. He’s not leaving us high and dry. Since we’ve nothing but a TVD-less summer to look forward to, we need something to fill our time with. Luckily, we’ll get to glimpse more of J.Morgan when he appears in this upcoming flick Immortals. Hopefully, shirtless.

7. Speaking of shirtless… We weren’t positive we’d see Klaus in the Season 2 finale of The Vampire Diaries. Boy, were we wrong. We saw more of the evil vamp than ever before… because he was totally bare chested in his first scene. Thanks, Joseph, for not being too shy for that one.

6. He’s gives good insight. Wetpaint was lucky enough to score an interview with Mr. Morgan, and he did not disappoint. Yes, his accent was sexy, but his thoughtful commentary on Klaus as a character was even better. “I feel like, as someone so old, he has kind of a childlike enthusiasm when it comes to certain things, even some things that are very painful for other people,” he told us.
