How long has Hayden been going out with Rachel?
Was it a scenerio where they met on a set of the movie and instantly clicked? Or, was it a case of them knowing each other before the filming of Jumper and they became romantically involved over time?
I was just wondering, thats all.
Some think its unbelievable that Rachel would go out with Hayden, because they don't understand why someone who's into the Hollywood lifestyle as Rachel would go for someone who's quiet and laid back as Hayden. Its silly, I know, but its true.

Mmmmmmm, yes, and true words of wisdom as they surely are, right there, very profound....kudos, and I wholeheartedly agree. And certainly, too, we do know that he's at least a couple more films in the proverbial pipeline over the next year or two...."Beast of Bataan" will likely hit sometime in 2009, I'm naturally presuming they're still in pre-prod for that one, and that too is a project which he obviously felt quite strongly about and which called to him in a very meaningful way, appealed to his innate creativity obviously but which also would no doubt prove a refreshing and enlivening sort of challenge in its own right, a role in one way or another quite unlike anything else he's ever done....very much *new*, somehow, and that too is something he clearly appreciates with each and every role he assumes, every one a challenge and a curiosity, something plenty satisfying and gratifying unto itself, for sure. And, oh, of course we've certainly also the sequel to "Jumper" to greatly look forward to, probably around 2010-ish - so obviously a wee bit of a ways off yet, but at the same time it almost means that we *do* have something to continually, happily look forward to and await with our usual eager, great anticipation....and that, too, in my experience very much counts.

Yet whatever more roles he may taken on, then, be it one or two a year or maybe just one every couple years, obviously the main thing for him is that the story appeals, and he's drawn to the characters involved, and it's something provokes, interests and compels enough....he chooses carefully, thoughtfully and *very* wisely and perceptively besides, and for that too do I only respect and admire, adore and appreciate him naturally *all* the more, oh....and it certainly seems to put him miles and miles, leagues and furlongs above and beyond other actors who might not be nearly so careful, so discerning, so smart about it....yet because *he* is, though....that is his greatest advantage, I feel!


Dawn. (who to this day still loves so much to hear him talk about his own ideas on the nature of the universe, the fabric of reality as he's obviously so keen to learn and read and muse about it, to the point where I suppose 'tis quite possible that he could even make a cracking good theoretical physicist, let's say if ever that appealed to him....and, of course, I'd naturally wholeheartedly and sincerely agree with *his* take on things first and foremost, because, well....I already very much *do*.... Whee!)

We-ell, now, admittedly I'm not sure as to whether or not they've necessarily had the chance to meet, as of yet, though I suppose 'tis entirely possible - and even if maybe they haven't yet, then I'm sure that somewheres along the line they very likely will, eh? - although, mmmmmm, yes, I must say too that I *do* quite like it and of course sincerely agree as well, that you did hearken to the fact that there *is* quite the distinct and striking resemblance between them....and there are certain moments, a few scenes in particular where that's more than just a "mere" resemblance, too, and it's basically just knocked me right out of my chair when I realized it and I was doing *all* sorts of hasty and impulsive, overexcited pausing, playing and re-playing and freeze-framing as a result, let me tell you....ahem.

Still, though, what I personally have found a bit confounding and more than a mite vexing admittedly, is what happens when I keep trying to explain as much to certain friends of mine....I point out to them the obvious resemblance 'twixt Luke and Anakin because, well, *obviously*-!....but then for some reason known only to them evidently, they feel like they have to point out to me that, durr, but Mark Hamill and Hayden Christensen aren't related, are they? *raises eyebrow* Oh, good grief, honestly....I mean, yes, I do loves my friends, but some days I do worry about their sanity and state of mind, much less even whether they're listening to me at all. *snerk*

And of course 'tis the times like that where I'm thinking they really couldn't be missing the whole entire *point* any worse if even they tried.... Still, though, there certainly are those moments in particular when it seems at least by my reckoning like the familial resemblance 'twixt Anakin and Luke, and I always remark on it by pointing out the eyes, the nose and the angle of the jawline, the body language too, especially....it's very much the same in both of them, which in turn just goes to show how very, very much Luke is his father's son in only the best and most beautiful, most true of ways....which, again, also very much the point, and no doubt only still more reason why it was such a master-stroke of genius and good fortune in turn, for sure - for Hayden to assume the role of Anakin, because in the look, the attitude, the carriage, the facial and the bone structure, the similarity is there to hearken back to....the resonance is very much there, as it has to be for the sake of the story....and so much the better for it, too! Because it *works*, then....because it's right, and it rings *true*, then.


Dawn. (who strongly suspects that maybe she just needs rather less cynical and jaded friends, that's probably the thing, hrmmmm....)

*chuckles* Okay, well, can I just say how very, verrrrrry much I'm currently loving and greatly enjoying the mental image that's inspired in me, and I'm sitting here chortling like an hyena right at my desk, let me tell you - definitely makes me think that it surely would be one of those truly cah-*lassic* moments, something too, *too* supremely good to ever pass up or miss out on, I reckon. Aaaahhhh, but still, though, mentioning Jake Lloyd, and maybe at least insofar as it pertains even to Hayden, well....and of course, since the whole issue of the understandable familial resemblance 'twixt Luke and Anakin themselves did naturally come up, well....one thing I actually noticed, and which completely floored me at the time, in fact - it was at CIV, when I was patiently waiting in line for Jake's autograph, and the first thing to strike me was the realization that, to quote Padme directly....my *goodness*, he'd grown!....but then what really gave me such a start and actually provoked such a strange and delicious shiver in me, really had me feeling all nicely warm and fuzzy inside and in right good Haydenly fashion, for all that - was to take note of the fact that....Jake actually does have something of a resemblance to *Hayden*, too, if you look!

And it's not even just in being all grown-up and hence obviously much taller, to be sure, though I don't doubt as that helps to at least some extent....but, again, I suspect it was in the line, the angle of the nose, the shape of his face, his browline and forehead, in his eyes where I really noticed it and thus where it completely floored me....I looked at him and basically couldn't *stop* irresistibly glancing back time and time again, because I kept having these little Haydenly flashes even just to see 'im....the resemblance, however subtle, was *definitely* there, and of course it too was only further convincing proof, far as I was concerned, just how very, very truly and deeply *right* and apt a job they'd actually done, in casting Jake, then Hayden, natch....and thus how perfectly they do seem to complement each other, how in a sense the familial resemblance really is there. I don't know if Jake oft gets people remarking on that definite similarity to Hayden's look in some ways, but I'd also tell 'im right here and now that he couldn't ask for a better or brighter or higher compliment in *all* the world, and thus he'd be mighty-well advised to take full advantage of it in any case.

Mmmmmmmmm, yes, maybe you know you have a wonderfully one-track mind, and clearly wouldn't have it any other way besides, when....you perchance end up spotting a sign, even in passing, for something like a lavendar farm, an actual, factual, full-blown and true-to-life lavendar farm (I kid you not, I saw something like this only yesterday in the midst of the lo-oooong trip out and back again to take part in a parade costume appearance....and oh, incidentally, to have little kids recognizing me as Anakin, pointing at me and saying as much, I'm still loving that and it's a serious power trip and now I only want more, aye, so much *more*.... ) - and so even just the mere mention of it, even just glimpsing the little highway sign in passing, makes you think right straightaways, first and foremost, of *Hayden* o' course....and it's like this proverbial lightbulb-flashing moment of pure inspiration where instinctively, immediately, he just comes right to mind and there's no denying the fact that the clear association is there anyway, as I reckon it....and likely always will be now, a fact with which I'm *totally* fine, to be sure - to be forever associating Hayden with the luscious, rich, heady and intoxicating, positively and wonderfully decadent and sublimely sensuous scent of lavendar....for him to be even pretty well intertwined with it, after a fashion....aaaaahhhh, delicious, truly.

And, after all, he *has* been saying it himself so 'tis likely only to be expected anyway, to have that natural free association, I should think....he's the one who expressed the interest, the curiosity about farming lavendar one day, even though it may admittedly be a bit of a challenging work-intensive crop (nothing at all wrong with working up a sweat in general, though, and *especially* so if he's the one working it, mmmmmm, lovely....) - a fact which does rather surprise me, I suppose, since we actually have the stuff growing rampant and pretty well gloriously wild around here - no work needed, it seems like it just happens, honestly. And, well, hey....unless I'm greatly misremembering here, I could swear that at one point he also mentioned something about a certain *fetish* for lavendar, he might've even used that word directly, in which case, oh....now I'm *really* craving it and downright lusting for it, actually, and even just for the sake of the Haydenly association pure and simple. To think of one, then, is to irresistibly and delightfully be reminded of the other right straightaways....the sensuousness, the intoxicating allure, the lively spice, the deep richness, the pure romantic-ness besides....and, hrmmmm, I suppose the lavendar itself might not be too half-bad either. *pert, audacious giggle*

We-ell, now, I would imagine as those could probably be provided somehow....admittedly I do all my Haydenly pic-ogling by way of dh.net, natch, and have spent many a heavenly-happy and totally blissed-out hour upon hour doing so to the point of just total and ecstatically-swooning, giddy distraction, let me tell you, and oh....at this point I'm sure my computer monitor will just always bear the signs of my impulsive and frenzied, wanton snogging, which does seem to happen more often than not where Hayden is directly and most personally and exquisitely concerned, to be sure....never a more effective way for me to lose my head completely, I'm guessing, and happy indeed I am for that too.

Still, though, ye-es, certainly I'd expect as there are undoubtedly at least *some* fine and fabulous and toothsomely handsome, well-and-truly entirely droolworthy pics which I'm sure would suffice here....mmmmmm, perchance something with a wee bit o' stubble or the slightest bit of stimulatingly ticklish beard-shadow and then even the merest whisper of a positively lickable moustache besides, *oh*, so roguishly dashing and with even the merest hint of adorable rough-and-tumbleness, the rakish about it, and of course never before have a beard and moustache been a more appealing or enticing either, far as I'm concerned ....like from the "Jumper" DVD promo event, over in NYC as I recall, and of course those pics had me thinking all sorts of distinctly naughty and unutterable notions right on the spot....starting, to be sure, with just what I yearned to do with even that merest shadow of a beard or the slightest bit o' stubble besides, *oh*, I'm sure I can think of *something*....ahem.

Or mmmmmm, ohhhhhh, yes, unless I greatly miss my guess....there's surely at least *something* to be had from one of that most recent bunch of "Jumper" production stills, again by way of dh.net I suppose, but yes....what else can be coherently said for it, perhaps, but....mmmmmmmm, pores....mmmmmmmm, freckles, lovely little luscious beauty spots, so subtly tiny, so understated-small....and yet, so absolutely *lickable* in their own right, one by one....by one....there, on his chin, and ooohhhh, even just the merest tiny scattering of them there along the strong curve of his cheekbone....mmmmmm, how delicious....downright - biteable, actually, it's starting to seem more and more to me. And in fact, hrmmmm, with that thought solely and first and foremost in mind.... *makes mad impulsive lunge at her computer screen* Ow!

*waves hand airily and all casual-like in good-natured agreement* Ohhhh now, hey, truth be told I don't think that seems the least bit silly to say so, namely that Hayden himself clearly *is* one rather more low-key and laid-back, altogether thankfully, wonderfully genuine and generall not someone who seems to care about making much of a fuss or otherwise being the focussed centre of all attention, by and large, because even though that's something which for whatever confounding and totally, downright unfathomably bizarre reason might actually seem to appeal to *some* people, to always have such an overt and blatant look-at-me-look-at-me fuss made about them, to always be the centre of all attention and to basically have much made *of* them then, in other words, they might actually seem to care most about the attention, the fame and the exposure like tat - rather trite and shallow on their part, too, I suppose it could be - but, oh, the thing of it here and thus the major, thankful distinction anyway....

....what actually does, then, clearly set Hayden for his part vastly, oh, leagues and fathoms and proverbial *furlongs* vastly above-and-beyond all those others who might be craving the attention and the notoriety and the publicity-seeking in general, maybe that's all they seem to care about or as much as they can apparently be "bothered"....but Hayden, ohhhh, *Hayden* on the other hand, he's just *nothing* of the sort and clearly ne'er could be either, it's just not *in* him, period, to be that sort o' preson, and thanks sincerely be for *that* one too.... (and, incidentally - probably another one o' these quintessentially Canucklehead traits of his....we do tend to be just like that, honest.... ) And certainly it just seems an only ever more commendable and noteworthy thing on his part, too, that he *is* in fact ju-uuuust exactly this way, built and made and hardwired this very fine and entirely laudable, kudos-worthy way, that's what....maybe not everyone can be, perhaps, but he very much *is*....

....and, well, hey, far as I'm concerned too maybe that only says all the best and brightes tand most positive and praiseworthy things for him in turn, then, that it really does speak to the sort of great and admirable and beautifully decent, altogether blessedly, thankfully natural and truly, deeply, wonderfully *real* sort of fine soul he actually is, then - and so if ever something could be like the barometer, the measure of him as a human being, as a *man*, well....let's just say that he'll clearly *never* be somehow found "wanting" then. If you know what I mean. For after all, now, when you do look at the actors, the consummate professionals and the true talents, artistes and creative sorts, those who actually are committed to their craft first and foremost and of *course* very much like him, well....these, then, are the ones I respect, admire and appreciate the most by far....because they're honest and genuine, and they're in it for all the right reasons. Again, just exactly like *him*, natch.
