Title: He can't handle the truth.

Hayden assumes 'Darth Vader' attitude with fan (http://tonight.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=3033401&fSectionId=354&fSetId=251)
December 13, 2005

Hayden Christensen allegedly chased after a fan who heckled him for "ruining" the 'Star Wars' movies.

The handsome actor, who played Anakin Skywalker in two of the three sci-fi prequels, had been leaving his trailer on the set of new movie 'Awake' when the disgruntled 'fan' approached him.

Christensen - who stars with Jessica Alba in the new film - stopped to chat to the man who, according to onlookers, then shouted in his face: "You ruined the 'Star Wars' movies!" before starting to walk off.

According to a report in America's New York Post newspaper, an annoyed Christensen "chased the guy down the street and scared him away" before returning to the set fuming.

A spokesperson for the Weinstein Co, which is producing 'Awake', has declined to comment on the alleged incident.

I don't think he realizes how worthless big Star Wars fans are.

EDIT: Of course, I would have told him to "Cry Some More, newb."

How can anyone blame Hayden for ruining the films ?

Really ?

That's insane.  Hey, when your cast has no direction, I'm gonna go ahead and blame, well, the Director.  Call me crazy.

Despite the movies sucking an unimaginable amount of ass. Hayden Christensen was no doubt, by far, the weakest link. I prefered Natalie Portman over that whiny shitty little weasel. Someone should have gotten him in the face with a full bottle of mobile bukakke. That would have been newsworthy.

Natalie Portman was worse than Hayden in 3, Hayden worse in 2, but Lucas overall, of course.

Lucas admits that he isn't an actor's director himself...So there you go. He's a producer, a technician, and a "filmmaker" in the cinematic sense, but not a director in the dramatic sense.

On the flipside, some of the most brilliant broadway stage directors can help communicate drama to an audience like no one else, even in the most drab of sets and conditions, but yet, they could never do some of the things Lucas does. So he does have some worth, in my opinion.

I don't see how a single actor could ever be held responsible for an entire project. Unless it's some Eric Bogosian-esque one man show, then it just doesn't work that way. You need a modicum of skill, confidence, and self sufficiency, of course, and most importantly, you need awareness and the ability to listen.....But ultimately, you're only as good as what you're instructed to do and which buttons have been pushed. Lucas doesn't know how to do that. He's not a "people person", and he doesn't know how to communicate to or manipulate them like good directors do.

Give me some time, I am working on it ...

Well, at least he's making quality flicks now.

I haven't seen the FF movie yet but just the commercials make me want to curl up in a ball and tightly clutch John Byrne's FF mags.

Hayden bears a lot of responsibility for fucking up the prequels, but you can't really blame him any more than you can blame a retard for not being good in school. Hayden was just putting food on the table. I blame Lucas, and the casting agent. It's Tatooine 90210!

Lucas needs the mobile bukkake. You don't blame the retard for setting fire to the house when the Dad gives him a can of gas and a box of matches and walks out of the room to CGI-up some womminz.

HC was a fool.  The proper response was "I'm sorry you feel that way.  Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go do a sex scene with Jessica Alba."  No true Star Wars fan has any reply to that.

The only reply I can imagine them having would be to drool and stare vacantly.

Upon thinking about it, I might do about the same.

Yeah, but this is one of those astronomically cool and funny things you think of AFTER.  At the time, the best you can manage is 'ohh, fuck off.'

But good one none the less.

It goes to show how little I know of the acting profession, I suppose, that having a romantic, sexual, or just about any sort of scene with Jessica Alba would be about all I could thinnk about.  I'd probably give that response to widows at funerals.  I suppose that real actors get over that sort of thing, rather like my buddy who quit working at the strip club when he realized he'd had a 15 minute conversation with a naked woman, and hadn't noticed she was naked.

I haven't done any love scenes like I *think* you have in mind (specifically ones with umm....Jessica Alba...), but all I can say is, in what little experience I do have, the first thing you want to do in that situation is listen and respect everyone's instructions and not act like dumbass! Even accidentally.

Secondly, it's just acting. Actors "don't get over" this sort of thing....Because it isn't anything (not to say it's always impersonal, because it's not that either). Maybe the first several times of awkward situations you may care about, but not for long. If you attend an acting workshop or school, you're going to be doing all kinds of scenes with the opposite sex all the time, AND with different females in the same day. At least some of these girls are going to be just as hot as Jessica Alba. At some point in your mind you're going to want to think about your scenes and not much else though. If you're lucky enough to work years down the line, then you're most likely as professional as can be by then.

Now maybe I'd talk different if I was actually on a job getting to play a scene with Jessica Alba's breasts in my face....But I don't think so. Maybe for a second or two.

I'd probably be more happy that I had the job (regardless of Alba), to tell the truth. That I was being paid to do a silly thing called "acting". And that's probably the first thing I'd rub in a Star Wars geek's face (But I would chase him down just like Christiansen did as well, I think).
