00:00If you were hoping for a Vampire Diaries reunion with Ian Somerhalder, too bad!
00:07Because he's busy for the rest of his life doing this!
00:11Okay, hugging horses does seem better than drinking blood.
00:15But will we ever see Ian on TV again?
00:18He's done.
00:19So he, in 2019, he moved out of L.A. with his wife, Nikki Reed.
00:25They have two young kids.
00:26He didn't want to be involved in Hollywood anymore.
00:29He lives on, like, a farm.
00:30With dirt and animals and bathtubs to wash the dirt off the animals.
00:35Unless those tubs are for people.
00:37Oh boy!
00:39Yowie!
00:40Wowie!
00:41We need to move to a farmstead!
00:42They both were huge.
00:44Nikki Reed was so famous on Twilight and he was famous on the Vampire Diaries.
00:48And then they just disappeared.
00:50There's something so admirable about somebody who can give up a lifestyle where they're that successful at
00:57and then just choose the values they want in life.
01:01But doesn't Ian miss Hollywood just a little?
01:03When you film a movie or, like, even, like, a Hallmark movie, it takes, like, 20 days to film.
01:08So, like, just go do your movie and then go back to your farm.
01:10But what if he doesn't want to do that?
01:12Because then you're looking for the next movie and you've got agents and all this.
01:16To Siobhan's point, he could easily be a Hallmark star.
01:18Make one Christmas movie a year, he would be so famous.
01:21A vampire Christmas?
01:23Yes!
01:24A big-time city girl moves back home and falls in love with the small-town vampire.
01:29But will he bite her underneath the mistletoe on Christmas?
01:32Find out this December.
01:34So, congrats on ditching Hollywood for the farm, you two!
01:38E-I-E-I, no more acting!
