Hump Day Eye Candy





Genetic lottery winner Hayden Christensen takes the May 2007 cover of enRoute, Air Canada’s monthly inflight magazine.

On discovering his face was plastered all over junk food packaging: “I remember the first time I went into a convenience store after Star Wars II came out. I walked in and saw my face on a bag of chips. Then I realized my face was on every bag of chips in the store and on every pop bottle. I had to turn around and leave. I didn’t even buy the thing I’d gone in to get. It startled me.”

On not being man enough as a teen: “I was a hockey player and then a tennis player. I was embarrassed about the acting. I felt it wasn’t jock enough.”

On his recent farm acquisition: “I recently acquired a farm north of Toronto and I just bought a big excavator and a dump truck and a bobcat – construction toys. I plan to start building soon. I can’t wait to go out there and move dirt and get my hands dirty.”

On dealing with fame’s pressures: “Lifestyle has a lot to do with how often you end up in the tabloids. Daniel Day-Lewis went to Italy and became a cobbler. I went out and bought construction equipment.”

On not being worried about his career: “I take it job by job, and I enjoy my time between projects. I want to still be acting 10 years from now, but then again I don’t know… We’ll see how the farming works out.”

HOT!
