Ian Somerhalder Instagram – On this day exactly 10 YEARS AGO. New Orleans Louisiana. Co-Grand Marshall of Endymion with my dear old buddy Norman Reedus aka @bigbaldhead Coming from a poor family in Louisiana it was always a dream to ride at the top of one of these parades. To celebrate with family and have the keys to the great city of New Orleans. Wow… 10 years already. These memories will last a lifetime… thank you all for cheering me on that day, thanks to my family and friends for rallying and thank you to the great city of New Orleans in the great state of Louisiana for giving this family a weekend of a lifetime. With love and gratitude,
