Ian Somerhalder Reveals ‘Controversial’ Reason He QUIT Hollywood After The Vampire Diaries
Ian Somerhalder reveals the real reason he quit Hollywood and became a sustainable farmer and business owner. The 47-year-old tells the ‘Haley on the Go’ podcast, the final straw came with the cancelation of his Netflix series, ‘V Wars’, which he claims he spent millions of dollars and countless hours doing reshoots, which he says helped boost the show’s success. Despite his work, Netflix quietly canceled the show after one season.

I miss seeing Ian somerhalder
HYPOCRISY Hes, WEALTHY NOW,HIS NETFLIX SHOW SUCKED,,BLOODLINE WAS GREAT!AND NETFLIX STILL CANCELED THE SHOW,ITS SHOW BUZ,,BUT EASY FOR YOU TO BE OPIONATED NOW,BECAUSE YOU HAVE MONEY 😅
Ian made the right call 👏🏾
He was smart, love the show he got the money & gone
I loved V Wars.
VD was a hit because it had a fan base and he was hot. Sometimes that is not enough. His acting is subpar. He is a TV actor so he makes a lot of money with every episode and got a huge pay rise. Sometimes you need to work hard to make something work but you also need to be really good at it.
This man looks. Will always be the center of attention. Not his fault. Being born handsome. Made his decision. 😊
He'll be back when he runs out of money for his farm.
Oh gosh i thought this was a skit between the wig (?) and the hat.
IAN, if you can't make it doing tv shows. Damn, look at the rest of us plebs who are at the MERCY of USA corporations everyday with layoff threats and we need healthcare insurance in USA to survive!
The show sucked, it's a shame he didn't try again as that's what actors have to do to succeed. I'll miss his pretty face.
Thats great. Nobody dozens of millions to live happily.
He did the best thing for himself and family. Hollyweird is a dangerous, predatory place.
Netflix cancels almost everyone
There are people who are less well off that get their stuff cancelled
All Y’all with the nasty and rude comments need to get over yourselves. Don’t place blame on Ian just cause Ian has wealth, it’s good that he has left the cesspool that Hollyweird(love this word by the way @chris60-r1t) has become. Good for you Ian!!
👏🏽
Hollywood dark side
Good decision to get out of hollywood. ❤
Never heard of that show. When was that???
Wise move!
Ian literally did the absolute right thing for him and his beautiful family. I love this man so much on TVD and Lost ❤
Good for him. I have experienced very similar situations in doing what i want to do in this life. It's better to have "optionality" than be under someone's thumb, in all things.
Always do what's best for you Hollywood is a monster and walking away is brave. Side note, he's still gorgeous 🤩
I fell in love with him in Young Americans, thats when I realised I was gay LOL
Looks like he was not movie material, he has the looks 100%, he sounds difficult to work with, there are good and bad shows, you can not have all
I think he should try doing some stage plays/theater
He was great in Rules of Attraction.
Bye 👋😂
Wasn't he on some other showed after
That sucks that he had to go through all that, I personally think he would’ve made a great Tony Stark/Iron Man in a new MCU.
I love that show and it made me sad it never came back
Burger King is hiring🇺🇲🇺🇲
I love Ian and Nicky. My two favorite vampires. 😊
He looks younger now 😳
Nikki reed! Crossover with twilight haha
Netflix cancels every good show and always gives the shit shows 6-7 seasons for some reason.
