“Vampire Diaries” star Ian Somerhalder does not regret stepping away from the Hollywood spotlight for a simpler life on a farm. 

Somerhalder, 45, recently shared that he does not miss acting at all, as he left his career in Hollywood behind. 

“I love what I did for a really long time. I love making films, I just did it for so long. We had an amazing run,” Somerhalder told E! News. “But this is our 2.0 version — about to be 3.0 version.”
