Hayden Christensen | Farmer

Hayden Christensen shocked the universe (Yes! You heard that right) when he was just 19 years old as George Lucas cast him in Star Wars where his famous portrayal of the mature Anakin Skywalker skyrocketed him to fame. Born in April 1981 in Vancouver, Canada. Christensen had his first acting stint in 1993. The 12-year-old actor played a supporting role in a show entitled Family Passions. In the subsequent years, his career reached greater heights for starring in Star Wars, which gave him two awards along with several nominations to his credit.

However, in an interview with the LA Times, Hayden said: “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. I didn’t want to go through life feeling like I was just riding a wave.” Episode II: Attack of the Clones got worldwide attention all too fast which left the actor feeling like a fraud. He then left and went to live on a farm.
