    *chuckles* I actually find it rather hilarious when, let's say, there are two actors who are working in close and regular proximity with one another - *co-stars*, and all that - and who may each be far from home on a location shoot, and thus naturally hang out together as friends, spend their free time just doin' fun stuff, grabbing a bite to eat or what have you....well, at any rate, just how amusing I do consider it, then, that something so perfectly logical and reasonable (they're both far from their usual homes, on location, so why *not* hang out together, because what *else* is one going to do thousands upon thousands of miles out there? I mean, *obviously* it makes much more sense and can keep away feelings of loneliness in any case, to hang out with a friend or co-worker you've developed a close rapport with in the intervening time.... That's *all* it is anyway, though, and equally to the point I also know we've all done much the same sort o' thing....for example, yes, lunched with a friend, gone out for a bit o' shopping, what have you....*without* it ever automatically portending "anything more" than that, either) is taken by others to supposedly indicate....something else, e.g. something more....even when there is, of course, absolutely nothing to lend any real credence or proof of that. Besides, I seem to recall an old, old saying from the days of yore....something about what happens....when people *assume* things.... ;) Durr.... :) *distinctly amused expression*

    I agree, from a mans perspective she is an attractive woman. Many times these actors\actress's do end up hooking up and I find it funny when people are so infactuated (even stalker like)that they can't handle the fact that they have no chance in the world of hooking up with a good actor like Hayden. I mean the guy is human and has every right to explore different women, even if some super fans are obviously jealous.

    Yeah that's true. In reference to Dawn's above comment, it could go either way. They aren't necessarily dating because they hung out together, but they aren't necessarily not either. A good deal of people meet their significant others through work. Hey, I met my husband in our career field before we both got out.

    I know, right? :) *chuckling* And isn't that just like the proverbial million-Republic-credit question, too, right there - namely, the fact that for whatever inane and, in my purview, also rather senseless reason at that, it's like there's this bizarre emphasis on....well, for lack of a better way of putting it, I suppose, who is doing the horizontal mambo with whom, and when and where and for how long into the bargain. I'm not quite sure precisely how or why it is that *that* became such a strange and twisted little priority for some folks, or for that matter how it actually became anyone else's business in the slightest, either way.... *mild, puzzled expression* Even more to the point, well, for the very life of me I do fail to understand, much less ever subscribe to, that mentality which seems to say that just because two people are working together, filming in close quarters for an extended period of time for instance, that must automatically and inarguably, without question and forevermore always mean that they're - shacking up. Um, no, not quite so much, actually.... ;) :D

    And I also do feel rather at a loss to fathom where it's supposedly written that just because two people, let's say (in among many, many others, by the way, 'cause these things are rather a huge group affair anyway) are each away from their homes and off filming together in some far-distant locales for weeks and weeks, if not months at a time, that it thus is automatically presumed, *assumed* more like, that they simply *must* be an item....even when there's really *not* a whole heckuva lot of actual, factual, confirmable proof of that anyway - jumping to erroneous and baseless conclusion, after all, does not proof positive make by *any* means - and it's basically just so-called "spies" and "sources" (and *gah*, if I see one more gossip or rumour item relying on that little, if that's as much as they have yet they're still purporting it as proven and true, then *yeeesh*....I swear I could very well scream, you realize.... *rueful chuckle*) anyway, and they're ree-hee-*heally* jumping the gun in the worst possible way....and that's about all there is to it, in my experience. I mean, honestly, with all the "ZOMG they must be together!!!!11!!" carrying on like that, it's like no one's ever heard of the whole....*friend* thing....and just hanging out with them for its own sake, with nothing more to it than that. Also, *professionalism*.... Meep, though, says I, in any case. :) :D

    HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN: A BRAT, BUT ONLY ONSCREEN
    BY MICAH TOUB
    From The Globe and Mail, March 17, 2007

    "I don't want this article to be about how 'Hayden Christensen made me wait around in this trailer all day,' " says Hayden Christensen as he asks me if I wouldn't mind waiting around in his trailer.

    He had been called back to the set of Jumper, the film he was shooting in Toronto last November, and he knew that I'd been promised more time than the half-hour we'd been talking. As he threw on his character's green hoodie and started for the door, he turned around to offer me another option: If I didn't mind hanging out for awhile, I could follow him to the set. Then, at every break, he'd come over to continue the interview. He was concerned that my schedule wouldn't allow for this, that I'd take revenge by depicting him as a prima donna.

    After I agree to the arrangement, Christensen flies out the door, promising that his assistant will be back momentarily to get me. Left alone, I have some time to look around the space where Christensen eats lunch and hangs out between takes. It's a remarkably low-rent motor home, with stained beige carpeting, just enough room for the six-foot-one actor, and a bathroom that's like a port-a-potty, only more cramped -- nothing like the pimped-out star-mobile that I'd expect a talent like him to demand.

    Christensen could easily have become a conceited superstar by now. At 20, he was nominated for a Golden Globe for his supporting performance as a drug-addicted brat in Life as a House. At 21, his face was projected on thousands of movie screens around the world as Jedi bad boy Anakin Skywalker in the first of the two Star Wars prequels in which he starred. And now, at 25, he can turn down multimillion-dollar contracts to play roles that actually interest him instead. He's the lust object of a planet-wide mass of giggling teenage girls; and he's acted opposite some of Hollywood's hottest young ladies. He's even been caught by paparazzi on the receiving end of model-turned-actress Sienna Miller's lips.

    And yet, despite all this, Christensen is still just the down-to-earth kid he was before all this happened, when his only dream was to get a tennis scholarship to university and figure out what he wanted to study. The kid from Markham, Ont., who became a huge celebrity almost overnight, still hangs out with his high school buddies, says the only place he calls "home" is the house he grew up in, and tells me that the most extravagant purchases he's made with his Hollywood millions are a car for his mom and a farm in Ontario where his parents, older brother Tove, and sisters, Hejsa and Kaylen, can spend time together. Hayden Christensen, it seems, is capable of acting like a self-absorbed, bratty young man only when he's cast as one in a movie.

    It's been almost two years since we last saw Christensen on the big screen, having his legs lopped off by Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber, and Darth Vader's mask screwed on top of his blood-covered face. Some may have been skeptical that Christensen -- or his acting career -- would ever return from that black plastic prison. Critics and fans were hard on the Star Wars prequels, and especially hard on Christensen's performance. But in 2007, the actor is back. Including Factory Girl, which was released in early February and co-stars Miller, he appears in four films over the span of 12 months, each quite unlike the other.

    George Hickenlooper, the director of Factory Girl, hadn't even seen Star Wars. Hickenlooper's first impression of the young actor, who he says reminds him of a cross between James Dean and Marlon Brando, comes from Shattered Glass, the 2003 indie film that Christensen starred in between shooting the prequels with Lucas. Hickenlooper called Christensen's performance as discredited journalist Stephen Glass "multilayered and multidimensional," adding that perhaps the actor shines more when he's "working with a director who appreciates actors

    Thanks for sharing Alley. I read that somewhere and that was really good. It's so sweet that he actually bought his siblings a house and his mom a new car. Down to earth + handsome + family values = our Hayden [face_love]

    I'm so glad Hollywood didn't go to his head and turn him into a little diva. His costars have nothing but good things to say about him.

    Oh, *oh* my goodness, can I just say for the record that I am *so* loving the latest succulent batch of pics from the "Jumper" set - in particular, actually, I'm of course *quite* enamoured with that neato little brushed-down hairstyle, cropped close and short, that my darling Den is sporting as he's out and about there....*I*, for one, think it most definitely suits him - *any* and all hairstyles he's ever borne do, then, in point of fact....be they the longer, soft, eminently strokeable and wonderfully play-with-able curls and the silky neck-tickling and brow-brushing, teasing tendrils and simply magnificent curlies, or indeed, ye-es - even also if it's a look rather shorter and almost sharper still upon him, actually, and for sure and certain more closely-cropped than might otheriwse be the case....but still very much adorably soft and fairly demanding to be at length played with, too, I don't doubt....and so honestly, then, from where I'm standing, whatever style he may be goin' for at the time, whatever look is called for with one movie role or another, still it looks *darn* fine on him, that's what....because really, now, simply *all* things do upon him, my beautiful boy, my handsome splendiferous lad, my utmost desirable Den. :D [face_love] Mmmmmmmmm, quite....

    But, oh, yes, at any rate - truth be told, then, I really *am* very much in love with his curious and striking little look in these new pics as well....just a certain *something* about it, in other words, very much greatly appeals - and of course, well, it's on *him* pure and simple, so naturally that means I'll love it and think it's simply bee-*yew*-ti-ful for that....just, you know....because. ;) And I suppose, too, that part o' the reason it does admittedly look a wee bit different is that it's not been quite fully styled for shooting....no product in it just yet, could be....though either way to me it *is* quite lovely, and certainly seems to suit him well enough as it is....to *my* rapturous, adoring, devoted, keen, hungry and ever-eager, desiring eyes, at any rate, that is very much the case.

    Although, actually, what it does also remind me of is....that certain similar look that George Clooney also sported some years back during those first few seasons of "ER"....the Caesar cut, I believe it's known as, and mmmmmmmm, yep - it can certainly be *quite* fetchingly flattering, for all that, and certainly it seems to do great things for a strong and handsome profile anyway....as *Hayden*, for one, is herein very much demonstrating, proving quite well, thank you very much. And for sure and certain, too, you could say that - it's really never looked quite so becoming or fittngly, strikingly handsome as it clearly does on *him* :) Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, yes, what a purrrrrrfect man is he, all right....my darling, wholly and utterly delectable Den.... ;) [face_love]

    Well, now, of *course* they do - and indeed, yes, of *course* Hayden's still each and every inch a truly, deeply *nice* guy and wonderful, sweet, caring, adorably shy and self-effacing and *very* much grateful, generous and deeply appreciative person into the bargain, just an all-round truly *decent* fellow and no mistake....what, don't tell me you expected anything different? *Especially* of him? :) I mean, honestly, how else could he ever possibly still be but precisely the same good and decent, sweet and generous and entirely wonderful-natured guy he in fact *always* has been, all along....because pure and simple, after all, that *is* just who he is and what he's all about, it's how he's grown up, for starters too, and just the sort of wonderful character and beautiful nature he does in fact have....hence, the only way he could *ever* possibly be, my darling beloved wonderful Den, and clearly that will never, *never* change. :)
    And, hey, he's also always said it himself, that it's so important to him to stay grounded and "true to himself" and where he comes from, what he's all about....which, thus, is why he *does* stick close to home when at all possible, and keeps his friends and family right by his side, basically - because he intrinsically *knows* what matters most, what actually counts for something and really does last in this world, and of course it's what he has right there, what keeps him solid, grounded, functioning as a person and in general what, I'd well wager, basically also helps preserve wit and sanity itself if *ever* he has to venture into Hollywoodland....which, it's pretty clear, he doesn't exactly enjoy doing, and methinks given his druthers he'd rather be elsewhere, actually practicing his craft and, you know, *creating* - instead of having to put up with the all-too-frequent insanity and mayhem that is Hollywood, it surely does seem. :)
    I mean, honestly, just *look* at what all too frequently that whole scene does seem about....for good or ill, after all, that's what happens o'er there in Hollywood, and goodness only knows the place is unique and at once wonderfully creative and yet insanely frenzied, for all that....and yet, still, the thing of it is, I find, that when you just get that certain feel for the place, when you see how so often it seems just about glad-handing and incessant partying and so forth, and basically just fame for fame's own sake, well....considering *that*, it's obviously *no* wonder whatsoever that Hayden really wants little to do with it, and in fact that he only dives into Hollywoodland for a darn good reason. But really, though, considering the sort of person *he* is, well, I can't imagine anything more like anathema marantha to him than how that whole scene can so often seem....*Hayden*, after all, is clearly a shy and quiet, decent and undemanding guy, without any sort of pretense or artifice....
    He is, then, clearly just who he *is*, at the very heart of it....and that, of course, in the purest sense, is all that he could ever likely be, and that's a *darn* fine thing by my reckoning, and for sure and certain it's also *great* testament to his character and nature besides....that he *is*, then, simply so sweet and shy, without artifice or false front and really having no use for interpersonal drama or fame-mongering or anything of the sort....and hence, then, yes, he's clearly *not* one for that whole "ZOMG it's Hollywood! Teh parties!!!!1!!1" scene, if you know what I mean.... (*does take a moment to scrub her brain out with bleach at the referenced net-speak, because *ugh* and double ugh, right? :) ) And, of course, far as I'm concerned, the fact that he's not one much inclined for it, and clearly has other, better, rather more personally meaningful priori

    Aaaaaaahhhhhh, indeed yes, in every sense this film is clearly going to rock, big-time, and as I'm sure has been said before but goodness only knows it bears repeating, 'cause again, just as true now as ever it's been ;) - well, yes, even just the whole premise of it, like the most general gist of the storyline, it's just incredibly fascinating and of course there's great room for drama in there, *fabulous* fodder for conflict, tension, interpersonal dynamicsa nd goodness only knows what else. :) I mean, honestly, here's this young man, his character in the film....comes from a troubled home in one form or another, discovers he possesses this gift for teleportation, then decides he can use it to all the better track down and enact some seriously deserved payback and vengeance against one who's personally wronged him and caused grief and harm in his life....*then*, what's more, he soon enough discovers that he's actually not the only one who can do this, and so I imagine that soon enough he's even teaming up with others who have this extreme and unusual gift - and why wouldn't they be stickin' close together, I'm thinking, especially considering the further fact that apparently....he also ends up tailed by a whole slew of government agents or covert agencies, I'm presuming all of whom want their hands on 'im to, I don't know....let's say either use his teleporting gifts for their own purposes, to force him to do their bidding - who knows, right?

    Or, well, hrm - for that matter I suppose even that they could just be out to, meep, kill him and have done with it....because anyone who can basically teleport all over the world and back again, without any constraint or border restriction - anyone who enjoys *that* sort of unlimited if invigorating freedom, in other words, and who isn't held back by government or anything else, much less the bounds of physical time and space apparently ;) - we-ell, then, yes, come to think of it maybe they *would* be out to track him down, even....eeeek, no!....take him out.... *shivers vehemently* ....though on the other hand, to be fair - well, now, methinks that it may prove a little easier said than *done* to be solidly tracking down someone who has this demonstrated penchant for zipping halfway 'round the world, from the furore of modern Tokyo to the sun, surf and warmth of Baja, all the way to the bitter-cold snow and ice of a glacier in Siberia, and back again. *Much* easier to maybe just *think* about trying to pin him down than it ever would be to actually *do* it, then, clearly.... ;) And besides, too, if Den's intriguing character David does in fact manage to make it that tough for everyone who I can only presume must surely be after him, if he really makes it that hard for them to do....then, yes, so much the better, right?

    Phew, though, suffice it to say - what a ride it's looking to be, then, and no mistake - even just the whole inherent idea of it, being able to personally teleport like that just unto yourself, no assistance required - you just want to go somewheres else, be it halfway across town or a full three continents and oceans away, and then bam, you're there in a heartbeat....and what, perhaps might you do with a unique gift like that, where might you go....heck, what *wouldn't* one do, right? ....and, oh, here also it's not even released yet!....next year, though, for sure and certain - we must be patient enough for it, that's all....or at least, as I personally do find to be the case....we must at least *try* to fake it, anyway. ;) Hee!

    So I finally found my issue of Star that I had been looking for. It's about a month old by now, however, that's more or less irrelivent. So, as I finally fond it, here's the little blurb they had on 'Den.


    Hayden Christensen, 25, looks sexy with his on screen lovers, but he has a kissing secret: an enduring battle with halitosis! ?It?s a problem,? red-faced Hayden once admitted to a young girl at a club who swooned when she met him. But maybe he?s solved it, as his Factory Girl co-star Sienna Miller like making out with him so much on screen, she dated him, too!

    Hrmmmmmm, so, I did just find myself thinking anew....about, well, the obviously great and wide-ranging variety and scope of roles that our Den has taken on so far, the quite endlessly fascinating range of personas he's had to adopt and people whose skins he's basically had to jump right into, whose identities and especial quirks he's had to assume and to breathe real life into; and there's no question, after all, that each and every one so far has afforded him a unique challenge of his talents and prowess as an actor and creative person in general, the chanc to really stretch himself in every sense - toperhaps perceive his own so-called boundaries, and then exceed them, and basically just only further expand his horizons as a performer and a consummate professional, too, it seems to me.... After all, looking at just who it is he's taken on so far - a Hero and Jedi, natch, and a sycophantic, sociopathic liar and passive-aggressive master manipulator, a wounded teen, a dimension-jumping troubled lad....
    Or, indeed yes, certainly there's also - the abused and hostile young soul who at the core of it is so intensely vulnerable and so desperately needing, who really is only emotionally and psychologically hypersensitive and raw, too, deep down inside....or, for that matter, there's also, yes - of *course* the folk-singing troubadour rocker who wins the heart and affections of a troubled but vibrant young gal, only to lose her in the end but who basically *did* still have quite the profound effect on her life for it....or, mmmmmmmm yes, what about the champion poker player, the youngest ever to win at it and no doubt brazen and confident and just completely, wonderfully sure of himself and his winning talents for it, and won't *that* just be something to see, oh aye, indeed-!....or, for that matter, of course there's also....we-ell, you know, a certain young storytelling Florentine lad after all, on the run and hightailing it through the Italian countryside, wooing and winning fair maiden's heart....
    And also, I'm sure, no doubt having some rather saucy and sprightly little adventures therein to boot.... ;) *tee hee* And of course, ye-es, there's certainly also something, rather a *lot* of somethings in fact, to be said for - well, for instance, even a certain heart-patient role where he finds himself so terrifyingly paralyzed, mute and helpless and basically little more than a prisoner suffering within his own mind and body, unable to move or utter even the tiniest sound, and forced there to escape into the depeest recesses of his own mind just to endure the unendurable....that too, then, *all* of it really, each and every single one of his roles thus far and also forthcoming, it's clear - they really *are* quite the far-ranging and uniquely varied set of particular challenges to him and his skill sets as an actor, then, and no mistake....and I strongly suspect he rather likes it that way, too. ;) :D The thing of it is, after all, that each and every single role affords him something new....
    And so he can, after all, I'm sure learn that much more and find himself uniquely tested and stimulated, thought-and-talent-provoked from each and every role he does take on like that - because for sure and certain they're just all really *not* like the others, then, if you know what I mean....each one is its own distinct and specal challenge, each one is satisfying and fulfilling for different reasons from all the others, but they're all perfectly merited and *totally* more than worthwhile, hugely satisfying really, for that....and because with each and every one he takes on, I'm sure, he also no doubt feels so strongly that he's only further challenging himself, deepening and broadening his horizons and expertise as an actor and creative soul....and that's no small thing, you know....no small thing at all. :) And full and *total* kudos go to him on that, also, as I see it....for always, always trying something new and distinctive and interesting to *him* first and foremost....
    And really, now, that *is* what matters by far, anyway

    Awesome article on Hayden Christensen. This guy is truly a greater person. Since RotS, I've really become a fan of the guy and it looks like his career is taking off. The movie referenced in the article, Awake, with Jessica Alba, was given a testing screening with audiences and people were raving about Hayden's performance in the movie. The producer thinks Hayden may have a shot at an oscar, and that is why the film was moved back to late 2007 which is when most oscar hopefuls are released.

    Glad to see this upped, I missed this thread. Yeah, Hayden does seem like a great and real person, taking on real roles to expand himself rather than following where the money goes. I always gain a little more respect for an actor who takes the lower budget interesting films than just the big stereotypical ones that command the large salaries on name recognition.

    Don't know if that article about the halitosis is correct but hey, the guy has to have some flaws! He's just so damn beautiful and nice. Besides, that was Star magazine. I'm not sure how much of that is truth (probably little), half truth, or made up...

    But it's interesting to read.

    Mmmmmmm, indeed yes, for sure and certain you've got that right - and I do think that Hayden's perspective on "the biz" and thus the many and greatly varied roles he chooses to take on, those which for one reason or another clearly do call to him, appeal to him and which in general do afford him with their own unique and distinctive challenges and fulfillments - the way he looks at it, then, and how he makes the choices he does, far as I can tell this is absolutely the most healthy, positive and fruitful perspective to have on things, the best way by far to go about it....certainly the most purely *creative* thing to be doing, at any rate, it seems to me - just to actively seek out the roles and the distinctive characters, all quite unique unto themselves and with their own quirks and curiosities, which have that "certain something" about them, that spark or that wounded or damaged quality, or even that sense of subtle darkness or angsty mysteriousness to them (because I know he's talked about that before, how he likes playing characters with that angle to 'em, being able to convey that with his performance....even the sometimes-darkness and intensity of human nature), if you will....

    Which I can only presume is what draws him to them, as well, and vice-versa actually....what no doubt really captures his attention and even his imagination, then, it very likely is the simple fact of being able to take on someone new and distinctive from one role to the next, and basically just - never playing the same character twice, always finding something new to explore with each successive part.... Each and every one, I think, being a new test of his simply *wonderful* skills, dahling, that's what - in one way or another, be it the particular genre or the character's quirks, or what's demanded of him like physically, for instance, in order to take on the role....it may not be quite like any other he's ever had before, or it may perhaps be similar but not *quite* the same, but therein lies the challenge and probably the fun of it, really. :) And that also seems to be where his priorities lie in it, what matters most to him by *far* - the *craft* of what he does, in other words, the creativity involved in assuming another character entirely, delving into their headspace and their world for a while, and being able to test his own "limits" (ha, as though *he* could ever have one anyway! :) [face_love] *sly chuckle*) in so doing....that, it seems to me, is what he cares about rather more than being in a roster of blockbuster feature films, making a zillion dollars with each one and having an $80 million box office opening weekend....

    He's all about the creative aspect, then, the intriguing and compelling storyline ideas and the curious and interesting, many-layers-complex characters....and for that I do think he's only to be greatly respected and quite admired, too....that much more, anyway, and for sure and certain it does set him only ever more favourably apart from all those who think that maybe it's the box office receipts or the budget which matter most....when, of course, they very much don't, or at least they don't necessarily have to. If anything, you know, it's more like - a side benefit, I figure....a la SW or doubtless something like "Jumper", or what have you.... ;) :D

    Oh, and hi everyone. Been away for numerous personal reasons, but hopefully will start getting into the swing o' things again. I've missed everyone, and I've definitely missed my Den (fix). [face_blush] :D

    *sighs deeply, happily, actually looking quite grateful for all that* Hrmmmmmm, well, I must say, if this is looking to be a regularly-scheduled thing and thus something that can well be counted on after all, hey, I'm *most* definitely earnestly and eagerly for that, believe you me - but 'twould seem after all that, yes, at least that one channel 'round hereabouts *is* actually running through "Higher Ground" in its entirety - albeit only that one day a week, Saturday evening, and I suppose to some extent I do find that a mite vexing....if only because, you know, I'd be *quite* well-content, thoroughly satisfied and mighty happy in any case, just to have that much-needed and rather dee-licious little brooding!intense!smoldering!pouty-lipped! Scott fix, then, really as often as I can have it....him....ahem. :) *chuckles impishly, gleefully* There is just - that certain especial something about him, then, that I find *most* definitely appeals....rather quite a few somethings, though, in fact. :D

    And, oh, actually, this week it was even one of the episodes I'd actually missed out on up until this point - been deprived of it thanks to network scheduling and unwarranted switcherooing, though, more like, and I've said it before and I'll say it again, but that's *precisely* the sort o' low-down and underhanded tactic that I'll just *never* forgive them for, that's what, whoever it is making the programming decisions at these networks - because all's I do know is that if it ends up depriving *me* of my Haydenliciousness in any way, shape or form, well....those proverbial kingdoms have fallen for *far* less personal affront and umbrage suffered than that. Grrrrrr, argh, why I oughta, indeed.... ;)
