Hayden Christensen quit Hollywood after Star Wars fame
Quote:
"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," he explained. "I didn't want to go through life feeling like I was just riding a wave."
Christensen's latest film, the faith-based drama 90 Minutes in Heaven, is his first in five years, and the actor says he's happy with the fact that his star dimmed since the Jumper days. "You can't take years off and not have it affect your career," he says. "But I don't know — in a weird, sort of destructive way, there was something appealing about that to me. There was something in the back of my head that was like, 'If this time away is gonna be damaging to my career, then so be it. If I can come back afterward and claw my way back in, then maybe I'll feel like I earned it"
For Life as a House:

Star Wars just makes actors look bad.
But the title seems false, cuz he had movies in:
2006
2007
2008
2009
2010
2014
