Hayden Christensen Says 'Star Wars' Breakout Led Him Away from Acting
FUSE TV - Hayden Christensen Says 'Star Wars' Breakout Led Him Away from Acting
It's weird to get the gig as the Man Who Would Become Darth Vader as an inexperienced Canadian 19-year-old. Hayden Christensen, now 34, could tell you all about it, having assumed the role of Anakin Skywalker in George Lucas' Star Wars prequels beginning with 2002's Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The L.A. Times, in a new piece on young stars handling fame, says the actor had " never set foot on a major film set" before Star Wars.
"I guess I felt like I had this great thing in Star Wars that provided all these opportunities and gave me a career, but it all kind of felt a little too handed to me," Christensen says in the interview. "I didn't want to go through life feeling like I was just riding a wave."
