Ponds are really awesome. There is a channel called bamabass and he showed the whole process of making a pond and yes it does indeed attract and help the wildlife in the area. It's very calming to see and connect to the beauty of nature (:
8:27 I love that Lucas supported Hayden’s want to be in the suit even when he doubted himself about it! AND… Better yet, George gave an awesome lore reason for Hayden to have trouble moving in the suit!
george sounds like very cool in acknowledging his actors wishes/suggestions. this about the suit, Windu´s purple saber, Han Solo´s "I love you" line are examples of this
I'm convinced that the people that give Hayden a lot of love today are actually the ones that always loved him. It's just that we've grown and got a voice while the voices of the haters got more quiet over time. It's probably the result of a generational change. I'm sorry that it took that long but I guess better late than never
The way Hayden’s eyes had a shocking glare before the helmet goes over his face will always be one of the most iconic scenes in the prequel era. Truly a master in his craft and so glad he’s gaining the recognition he deserved.
He's one of if not the best villains in cinema. Both Heath Ledger and Hayden Christensen auditioned for Vader, but Hayden got Vader / Anakin and Heath got Joker.
Mostly due to dumb internet criticism, not lucas script. He wrote and directed The original in the same way and the critics back then hated them too. @@Angel_Auraa
It's so cool to see how much more confident he's getting in these settings. For the longest time you could see he was holding back, very awkward in interviews and just trying to say what he thought people wanted to hear. He's seen how much genuine love there is for him today and he's putting himself out there a lot more now and I absolutely love it.
He signed with a new talent agency last year, very excited to see where his career goes beyond Star Wars. This was such a fun video, love the intro with him Force opening the laptop haha.
I hope he makes movies other than the star wars franchise now. Only americans watch it meanwhile he has a huge international fanbase outside of america and star wars :/
I absolutely love that the whole "making the lightsaber sounds" thing seems to be a universal thing amongst Star Wars actors. Ewan, Hayden, Ray Stevenson; it's fantastic.
Such a humble and down to earth guy. Met him in Chicago at celebration... Definitely had to tell him that Revenge of the Sith will always be my favorite Star Wars film. He's highly underrated and I can't think of anyone else playing the greatest character in Star Wars.
The pond answer is true. I delivered water to the farm so he can test the pumps. He was VERY happy! It wasn't a finished project, but I definitely "put a smile on a lot of faces" that day!
Love the guy he had to endured a decade of mocking and hate but he remains a totally chill guy who finally getting some love. Adorable how he answers with a 3000 words essays to everything.
George Lucas having a custom made Vader suit for Hayden because Hayden wanted it shows how cool Lucas really is. That must have taken a lot of time, money, and resources to get it done.
okay so he is born in 1981 and i was born in 1989, so when he starred in the 2 star wars movies, I was fangirling over him so hard! I loved his performance, I loved him in Jumper and remember (in 2008) trying to figure out how to watch other movies he was in (this is pre-streaming services and things being on youtube or easily accessible online xD) It fills my heart with so much happiness, I get this big smile and wanna almost cry when I see him now. When I saw the video of how overwhlemedly happy he was when people were cheering for him at a star wars event recently, the emotion in his eyes.... I cried! I HATED how badly people hated him in his role of Anakin, but the people who loved you as kids, we have voices now, and we will scream as loud as we can, we love you Hayden!
@@angusng816 I just wanna see Natalie and Hayden since their characters are such an iconic couple in the Star Wars Franchise and its been years since we last saw them together.
2:37 Jumper 2 would be AWESOME. Such an underrated movie. Also, learning he makes ponds is simultaneously the most surprising thing I've learned about him, and the least at the same time.
I want to thank GQ for bringing Hayden answering questions that everyone would like to ask but no one ever does because they always decide to ask the same questions they always do in interviews with him. I loved it, and I could tell that Hayden also had fun answering these questions. ❤ We want more interviews like this with him
Ep 4-5, Ep 1-3, then Ep 6. Best order. It lets you start where to story stared for everyone then Once the "Reaveal" happens, you jump back to see how we got there, then return to the OT and finish ep 6.
Hayden said that he enjoyed the Sequels, Kylo Ren is his favorite Sequel character. He didn't mention Sequels here because everyone knows that Sequels are always the last trilogy in a chronological order or release. But it's always a debate which trilogy to watch first - OT or Prequels.
I don't think he said THAT!! Even if he did, it was probably for PR and Disney made him do it!! No reasonable fan like him can like Sequels lol@@claraxani9388
@@claraxani9388 Hayden is under contract; he's not allowed to say bad things about Disney products. And I don't ever recall him saying that Crylo was "his favorite".
Amazing guy! Wish he was on the screen more, deserves it! the tears on his face when he met the crowd after returning with Kenobi.... amazing love for him
Hayden sounds like a really down to earth, chill kinda guy. I really liked this interview, it was nice to learn a little bit about what he's been up to lately.
Life as a House is very underrated in my opinion. Not the greatest thing by any means, but it tugs at the heart strings for sure when thinking of the fractured relationship of a father and son, and the mending of it before the end. Other than Episode 3, my favorite film of Hayden's.
It made me so happy to see Hayden reprise his Star Wars role. Like or dislike the prequels, he did such a great job. His new performances made it look like he never lost a step playing that character. Hope your days are filled with joy and happiness Hayden!
The crush I had on him 20+ years ago is all coming back to me now. Life As A House is SUCH a great underrated movie. Kristen Scott-Thomas plays his mom and Kevin Kline is his dad.
Being around to witness the redemption of the Prequel Trilogy and Hayden Christensen's portrayal of the character in my lifetime has been a huge pleasure.
Every minute more that I see about Hayden makes me like him even more. And I was never a hater of his character or acting, as I grew up with the prequels and loved all of them.
Broken Glass was highly underrated. The nervousness, the angst, the lying as naturally as breathing of Stephen Glass was captured perfectly by Hayden Christensen.
First off so happy Hayden is finally gettin the love he deserves, True king and deserves it Also 4:29 My friend recently told me he found somethin online about Star Wars Viewing and its now his primary way to show people who havent seen the series before and he goes Ep 4, Ep 5, Ep 1, Ep 2, Ep 3, Ep 6 and that got me cause it keeps the reveal hidden and then makes ya go into Return of the Jedi with all of what happened lol never thought of that before
Bro is so powerful, he commented on an archived Reddit post
They don't call him "The Chosen One" for nothing.

Facts.
reality is he didn't deserve recognition for the prequels, but he didn't deserve all the hate either.
Such a calm voice. Could listen to him all day.
Same!! And his 10 million dollars smile. I wanted to game and listen to him, but I ended up just watching him talk. He really is handsome.
Even though he is older than me I find myself with the same relaxed demeanor to what he showed here
Preferrable snuggling in bed or on a couch. That would be heaven.
Yep. That's humility. He exudes confidence and humility. He's probably kind to waiters and stage crews too.
Hayden Christensen's current rise of popularity warms my heart
it feels like this is building to a career revival like what we saw with Keanu Reeves and the John Wick movies or Brendan Fraser with The Whale
Mine too! They only hated him cause he was cute! I swear that’s what it was. 😂

I like how Canadian he is without being in your face Canadian. I didn't know he had a farm...I've driven through that area so many times too.
The pond thing is so gentle and kind
Do you mean the way he described it? 😊
It's impossible to have enough ponds.
It's literally the side quest era for him and that's awesome. It's also the opposite of sand 👀
Ponds are really awesome. There is a channel called bamabass and he showed the whole process of making a pond and yes it does indeed attract and help the wildlife in the area. It's very calming to see and connect to the beauty of nature (:

He's one of if not the best villains in cinema. Both Heath Ledger and Hayden Christensen auditioned for Vader, but Hayden got Vader / Anakin and Heath got Joker.

Facts
George Lucas having a custom made Vader suit for Hayden because Hayden wanted it shows how cool Lucas really is. That must have taken a lot of time, money, and resources to get it done.
What better way to spend the billions of dollars he made off Star Wars than making people happy.
Actually super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Lucas has alwahs struck me as that fun uncle at family parties just happy to oblige the kids while having the coolest job in the world
He also changed star wars canon to use other colored lightsabers outside of red, blue and green because Samuel Jackson wanted a purple light saber.
It would have been insane to see the original darth vader in rots tho
Dude looks like he's a genuinely kind and composed person. All the best to him.
