Career

Hayden Christensen began his acting career in the early 90s with a role in a German-Canadian series called Family Passions. His first film role came next year with John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness, and he followed up with roles in films like Harrison Bergeron and The Virgin Suicides and in TV series like Goosebumps, Forever Knight, and Are You Afraid of the Dark?

In the year 2000, Christensen became more widely known to a global audience after appearing in the series Higher Ground. The series had Christensen playing a teen who had been sexually molested by his mother, leading to his character's drug addiction. He then earned even more acclaim after appearing in the film Life as a House in a role that won him several award nominations. That being said, the film was something of a sleeper hit. Next year, Christensen appeared in a London theater production of This is Our Youth alongside Anna Paquin and Jake Gyllenhaal.

After the Star Wars franchise had been resurrected with Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Christensen announced that he would play the adult version of Anakin Skywalker in Episodes II and III. The role came to define his entire career, although many fans and critics disliked his performances. Episode II is generally considered to be one of Lucas' worst Star Wars movies, while Episode III is viewed as one of the best. Both films performed incredibly well at the box office.

The 3,000-square-foot home lies nestled in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley in California. The property features a swimming pool, spa, and koi pond. Following their separation, Bilson and Christensen sold the house in 2017 for $3.8 million.

Hayden later started living in the home full-time, and whether or not he actually acquired it from his brother or not, the property was put on the market in 2012 for $2.495 million. Both of the brothers could have been sharing the property, and they might have split the profits from the sale of the home.

In 2007, Hayden Christensen purchased a farm just outside of Toronto, allegedly on a whim. He later turned it into a full-time hobby, taking the time to learn about agriculture, livestock, and farming machinery. Some attribute Hayden's obsession with farming to his absence from acting during certain periods in his career.
