In an E! News red carpet interview for his new documentary "Common Ground," Somerhalder opened up about leaving Hollywood behind. The documentary, which was released late last year, explores the benefits of regenerative agriculture with a star-studded cast.

Ian Somerhalder among several stars who've stepped away from acting

Somerhalder isn't the only star who has ditched sets and stardom for a simpler life.

Beloved actress Cameron Diaz took a break from acting for an eight-year stretch due to lifestyle changes.

"When you’re doing something that you know and you’ve done well and you know how it works and it’s consumed your whole life for so long, it’s kind of a nice thing to kind of go, ‘You know what? Let me just step back for a second, take a look at what the whole picture looks like for me and what are the things that I could do better and be more engaged with that would make me feel more whole.’ And I did that," Diaz told CBS Mornings in July 2022.

Other stars such as Terrence Howard, Brendan Fraser and Lindsay Lohan have taken breaks from their acting work.
