Why Hollywood Won't Cast Hayden Christensen

Hayden Christensen began his career as an actor at just 13 years of age. He started appearing on various Canadian TV shows before making the leap to American TV in the late '90s. He started gaining attention for his performance in the 2001 drama film Life as a House.
This led to the career-changing role as Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader, in the Star Wars prequel trilogy films -- Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
However, since his starring role as Darth Vader, Christensen’s career began to wane and we haven’t seen much of him lately. Here’s why Hollywood won’t cast him anymore.

    I think most people didn't understand something: Hayden Christensen was SUPPOSED to play Anakin an awkward way. He was basically a monk who lived in strict celibacy for 10 years and now feels love for the first time in his live. Of course he's awkward.

    Tbh hes closer to a real, awkward person than most actors portray awkward people. Critics just couldn't handle the performance because it literally was so perfectly awkward. Next level acting by HC.

    Narratively an awkward Anakin doesn't really fit into his arc to becoming Darth Vader. But let's assume that was the case, most of his lines are flat and convey little emotion, that's what people found awkward.

    Anakin still looks like a more believable in-universe Star Wars character than the parodies that Episode VII gave us. "You got a cute boyfriend?" "WHO'S IN CHARGE NOW PHASMA?!" "LET GO OF MY HAND!" Ugh.

    NxD i swear to God! its already confirmed by Star Wars, he’s coming back for SURE. i promise you. its eight years after the events of Mustafar or 11 years before A new hope, i think its both cs there’s a lot of different events going on at once, i think we might see a young Ben Kenobi (obi wan) (Ewan Mcgregor !!) fight Darth Maul (darth maul for star wars 1) , cause everyone knows he never died, he just got his legs cut off. and he re built them with robotic spider legs. Here, add my snap for more details! rgonzalez2017 trust me, look it up if you wanna see for your self. The new show is called Kenobi, there’s already a trailer with almost 6 million views. Trust me, we’re gonna see sum classic characters come back. its been exactly 15 years since the “Revenge of The Sith.” you’re welcome guys for the news!! 😁I PROMISE YOU, ITS CONFIRMED. all of it! there’s even darth maul IN THE trailer!! i forgot if there’s anakin in it too, but this is gonna be about Darth Vader in his early years, so again, in the new show, in the star wars universe , its taking place 8 years after Star Wars 3. Or 11 years after A New Hope. or Both, im hoping its both. so anyways, enjoy the new trailer man. and do your research, cause this is all ik so far. but in real life its 15 years later if you got confused. but in the star wars world its 8 years later. but please: do your research on where Kenobi is taking place. 🙏🏼

    Rotten Tomatoes is made up of about 90% incompetent reviewers who probably base their reviews on pre-release screeners, and 10% of credible film reviewers. I actually don't listen to film critics anymore. They, like most people, bring their own personal baggage to their reviews. If I want to see a movie, I will see it regardless of what anyone says. Best to decide for yourself.

Also, he had good chemistry with Ewan's Obi Wan. The fact that SW ruined his career sucks on so many levels.

    The prequels actually had really good casting, Haden was perfect for the part. It was really terrible directing that made their performances go bad. Don't believe me? Well think about this: During the prequels George Lucas got SAMUEL L. JACKSON to speak in monotone. *LUCAS GOT A GUY FAMOUS FOR HIS CHARISMATIC SHOUTING TO SPEAK IN BLAND MONOTONE*. And Haden seemed like such a nice guy.

Anakin was an awkward kid who was in love and sappy and totally into Padme that after 10 years of abstinence, couldn't possibly know how to smooth talk his crush of 10 years. Of course, that's just a good way to look at it, It STILL wasn't good dialogue but it didn't come out of nowhere, Anakin was trying to relate :D

    @Volt• 42 years ago All because lucas is an amazing story/book writer but not so much a scripting genius. He can flesh out a story beautifully but he can't fill the small gaps with little details effectively. He could have just had hayden say "I hate sand. It reminds me of the slavers" or something along the lines of the bad of tattooine. It's also the reason why a large amount of people like or accept the prequels, because he built, albeit a compressed/sped up, plot line that explained fairly well how the empire came into power in the first place while still linking in lore that's referred to in the books. If the prequels were 4 movies instead of 3 I believe people would love them much more however Lucas also wanted to keep the "Trilogy Aesthetic" which just made the jumps in the timeline just feel weird and a little to rushed.

    Thank God for sequels. Because of them, Hayden is finally getting much deserved love. His portrayal of Anakin in RotS was brilliant, considering what character he had to play, tortured soul just not sure what to do next while having no one to turn to for help/advice.

    agree. I grew up with the prequel trilogy and they got me interested in the original trilogy. I think people who grew up with the original trilogy hate the prequels the most because they are so totally different. but the sword fights in episode I agains darth maul and the final fight between anakin and obi wan are fuckin epic. the original trilogy sucks in this respective. I loved seeing anakin evole into dart vader and how he was betrayed by the emperor. and how much obi wan cared for anakin and what he must had going through after anakins betrayal- pure epicness
