Ian Somerhalder gained immense popularity after the release of the TV series Lost (2004) and The Vampire Diaries (2009). In a new interview with People magazine, the Hollywood star explained why he decided to take a career break.
The actor has not acted since the series Vampire Wars premiered in 2019. He began working for a pet food company and also served as an executive producer on documentaries such as Kiss the Ground and Common Ground.
“I remember discussing it with my management and I said, ‘This is the only thing I’m really good at, which is supporting my family, but I’m leaving.’ I could go and do anything at a peak like this, but these partnerships were much more important to me,” the artist explained.
Ian said he was very grateful for his career but that his family remained his top priority: “I would rather do that than spend two months in a city away from my family filming a TV show,” Somerhalder said.
Recall that Ian Somerhalder is married to Twilight star Nikki Reed. The couple legalized their relationship in 2015. The couple has two children. The youngest child was born last summer.
