Who would have thought that Vampire Diaries heartthrob Ian Somerhalder would trade the glitz and glamour of Hollywood for a simpler life on a farm? Well, that's exactly what he did, and he couldn't be happier about it!

In a recent interview, the 45-year-old actor revealed that he has no regrets about leaving his acting career behind. “I had an amazing run in the industry,” Somerhalder told E! News. “But now, it's time for a new chapter, our 2.0 version, soon to be 3.0!”

And he's not alone in this journey. His wife, the lovely Twilight actress Nikki Reed, joins him on their farm adventure. Together, they have embraced a lifestyle that's all about simplicity, nature, and making a positive impact on the planet.

When you see the way nature operates, it's hard not to feel a deep sense of compassion. Nikki Reed beautifully expressed this during a Common Ground screening, stating, “Watching children grow their own food and understand where it comes from is truly a beautiful thing.”

Four years ago, the couple bid farewell to the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, and since then, they have embraced a slower pace of life. Their new lifestyle has brought them so much joy and a profound sense of fulfillment.

But Ian Somerhalder's journey doesn't end there. He has taken his passion for farming and environmental activism to the big screen. In recent film projects like “Kiss the Ground” and “Common Ground,” he highlights the importance of sustainable farming and soil conservation in the fight against climate change.

Common Ground features a star-studded cast, with Laura Dern, Woody Harrelson, Jason Momoa, Rosario Dawson, and others lending their voices to this powerful documentary. It's a project that Ian Somerhalder considers a “love letter to our children,” driven by his desire to secure a better future for the generations to come.

As a parent, Somerhalder knows the importance of taking action and leaving a positive legacy. He wants to be able to look his kids in the eye and say, “We did something. We secured our future.”
