Hayden Christensen will probably always be associated with Darth Vader, whom he first embodied around 20 years ago. His memories of the character go back even further.
Actor Hayden Christensen says he scared his sister with the infamous voice of “Star Wars” villain Darth Vader when he was a boy. “The image of Darth Vader is very well known,” said the 42-year-old in an interview with his colleague Diego Luna (43) at the industry magazine “Variety”.
“I remember as a kid, before I saw the films, I had a connection to this character and was very taken with his physical presence and his voice. I remember scaring my little sister, just , because I tried to imitate Darth Vader’s voice – and it worked.”
The Canadian-born actor played the Jedi Anakin Skywalker in “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones” in 2002 and in “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” in 2005, who turns to the dark side after a chain of events . Almost 20 years later, he reprized his role as the iconic villain for the miniseries Obi-Wan Kenobi.
