For context, The Vampire Diaries star's last acting role was in the 2019 series V-Wars. He and wife Nikki Reed moved to a farm outside LA together, and Ian himself said in November that he left Hollywood "to raise my kids, build my companies, and get these films launched."

The couple have two children, including a son born in June. Nikki's last acting credit was also V-Wars.

Indeed, Ian recently executive-produced the soil health documentary Common Ground alongside other famous faces like Laura Dern and Jason Momoa. At a recent screening of the documentary, he spoke with E! News about the shift in his career.

"I love making films. I just did it for so long. We had an amazing run," he said, looking at his wife. "The community and the family that is a set... But this is our 2.0 version, about to be 3.0 version."
