Hayden Christensen

Best known for his roles in awesome flicks like Jumper and Star Wars, Hayden Christensen is on the brink of becoming a household name — and already a bedroom pin up. And if (rumoured) girlfriend Rachel Bilson is a reliable source, he’s a pretty nice guy too.

Hayden was discovered when his older sister Hejsa, a former trampoline champion, was shopping around for an agent. No one was home to baby sit him so he went along with her and ended up scoring himself an agent.

He grew up in Canada with his mum, dad and three siblings, and still to this day goes home to spend quality time on his farm. Although he didn't have his father's approval going into the acting business, Hayden landed his first gig in a commercial for Pringles when he was eight years old.

When he was thirteen he began his starring roles in several dramatic television shows, but his big break came with the TV show Higher Ground. But it was his big screen presence that caught our eye. Who can forget him as Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars? He also starred in Factory Girl opposite Sienna Miller, Awake opposite Jessica Alba and Jumper opposite Rachel Bilson. Talk about a good run of leading ladies!
