Hayden Christensen Didn’t Want To Just Ride a Wave
Hayden Christensen got famous quickly after starring in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith in the 2000s. But despite his easy ascension to fame, he hasn’t appeared in much else since then. In an interview, he revealed that after Star Wars, he “bought some farmland and largely retreated from Hollywood.”
Hayden explained: “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. I didn’t want to go through life feeling like I was just riding a wave.” He has appeared in a few roles since, but they are few and far between. Since 2014 he’s been busy raising his daughter.
