PSA: Barnett from Love Is Blind was an extra in The Vampire Diaries and we are shook.
Viewers of the hit Netflix dating show will remember Matt Barnett as the handsome engineer who swept Amber Pike off her feet, eventually making her his wife - but no one had any idea he lives a secret life as a TV extra.

Yes, eagle-eyed fans of supernatural teen drama The Vampire Diaries spotted the 27-year-old in the background of one of the show's scenes. What is this madness?!
The moment comes during Season 7 episode 12, Postcards From The Edge, during a scene in a bar in which Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) picks on Julian (Todd Lasance).
Barnett can be spotted looking up from his drink in shock shortly after Damon kills one of Julian's men by slicing off his head. Honestly, A star acting from our Barnett.

Naturally, fans of both shows went wild after spotting the link, taking to social media to share the news.
"I'm rewatching vampire diaries and I swear this is Barnett from Love is Blind!!," one wrote excitedly.
"just discovered that barnett from love is blind was an extra in vampire diaries omg," said another.
"Someone explain to me why/how Barnett from @LoveisBlindShow is on Vampire Diaries?," wondered a third.

"So Barnett from Love is Blind never mentioned that he scened on Vampires Diaries," commented another.
Yeah, on that point, why *did* Barnett never mention he was in the show? Not that he needed any more help getting the ladies...
Fans will remember the hunk from Georgia was a hit with the female contestants in the pods - proving a bit of a player, too.
Barnett told Jessica Batten he was ready to propose before unceremoniously changing his mind the next day and going for Amber instead.

In the end, Barnett and Amber got married and they're still together until this day!
We wonder if Barnett is still finding the time to do extra work now he's a married man? We need to know more!
