these are 2 sites ill be on most of the time...hehe anyways here's hiz short info! life-Christensen was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the son of Alie (née Nelson), a speechwriter for the heads of large companies, and David Christensen, a software program writer and communications executive. His father is of Danish and English descent and his mother has Swedish and Italian ancestry.Christensen has an elder brother and sister, Tove and Hejsa, and a younger sister, Kaylen.Raised outside Toronto in Thornhill, Ontario, Christensen attended E.J. Sand Public School, Baythorn Public School and Unionville High School in Unionville, Ontario, Canada. He was an athlete in high school, playing hockey competitively and tennis on a provincial level.He spent summers in Long Island with his maternal grandmother, Rose Schwartz,and attended the Actors Studio in New York as well as the Arts York program for drama at his high school. He was "discovered" when his older sister Hejsa, a former trampoline champion, was shopping around for an agent after he landed a role in a Pringles potato chips commercial.
1993–2000-Christensen's first acting role was on the television series Family Passions, which aired on Canadian television in September 1993, when he was 12.The following year he acquired a minor role in John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness.From 1995 through 1999, he appeared in several movies and television shows, including Harrison Bergeron, Forever Knight, Goosebumps, The Virgin Suicides, and Are You Afraid of the Dark?He acquired wider notice while starring in Fox's Family Network television series Higher Ground in 2000, portraying a teen who was sexually molested by his stepmother, and then turned to drugs in his despair.
2001–2005-While Christensen's critically acclaimed portrayal of a misunderstood teenager in Life as a House (2001) earned him Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations as well as the National Board of Review's award for Breakthrough Performance of the Year,the performance didn't receive widespread public notice.For his part in the movie, Christensen lost 25 pounds through a special diet.He eventually gained the weight back during the filming for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
His role as Anakin Skywalker (who was previously played by David Prowse, James Earl Jones (voice), Sebastian Shaw and Jake Lloyd) in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) made him a star.Although his performance was met with mixed reviews by critics (earning him the Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor in both Episodes II and III)he became very popular among audiences, being named in both People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People and Teen People's 25 Hottest Stars under 25.He went on to receive good reviews for 2003's Shattered Glass, which tells the true story of journalist Stephen Glass, who was discovered fabricating stories as a writer for The New Republic.Peter Travers of Rolling Stone writes "Hayden Christensen is sensational as Glass, finding the wonder boy and the weasel in a disturbed kid flying high on a fame he hasn't earned."
Stock footage of Christensen was used in the controversial 2004 DVD release of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, where he was inserted in place of the actor Sebastian Shaw.This version is now considered the canonical version in the Star Wars universe. Christensen insists this was done without his knowledge, an act that is confirmed by Lucasfilm itself in the featurette "Return of the Jedi: What has changed?" as seen on the official website to commemorate the 2006 DVDs.
2006–presentBetween 2006 and 2007, he starred in Awake, with Jessica Alba, which tells the story of a man who remains awake but paralyzed during heart surgery,and in Factory Girl, opposite Sienna Miller and Guy Pearce.Christensen next starred with Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Bell and Rachel Bilson in the film Jumper, the story of a young man who discovers he has the ability to teleport; the film was released on February 14, 2008.Bilson and Christensen co-starred again in the same segment of the film New York, I Love You. Christensen also appeared opposite Mischa Barton in Virgin Territory, which was released directly-to-DVD in North America in August of 2008. The film, based on The Decameron, is about a group of people who escape the Black Plague epidemic by hiding out in a Tuscan Villa in Italy.Christensen was slated to appear in an adaptation of William Gibson's seminal cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer, set for a 2009 release, but has since been removed from the IMDB cast list.In September of 2008 it was announced that Christensen and Paul Walker signed onto the crime drama Takers set for a 2010 release. He will play a young detective alongside Matt Dillon. Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey will be the fourth film in which Christensen will co-star again with Samuel L. Jackson.
Personal lifeChristensen currently resides in Uxbridge, north of Toronto, Canada. When not working, Hayden enjoys spending quality time with his family, hanging out with his friends, and exploring other hobbies such as the blues, jazz and piano. Christensen has been "romantically linked" with co-stars Natalie Portman and Sienna Miller. In March 2007, Christensen began dating actress Rachel Bilson, after meeting on the set of Jumper. The couple got engaged in December 2008, over the holidays.
