Hayden Christensen (April 19, 1981) turned 27 0n Saturday. Blue eyes, blonde hair, 6' 1 1/2" hottie. I fell on love with Hayden during his critically acclaimed portrayal of a misunderstood teenager in Life as a House (2001). He earned Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations as well as the National Board of Review's award for Breakthrough Performance of the Year, the performance didn't receive widespread public notice. For his part in the movie, Christensen lost 25 pounds through a special diet. He eventually gained the weight back during the filming for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

His role as Anakin Skywalker (who was previously played by Sebastian Shaw and Jake Lloyd) in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) made him a star. Although his performance was met with mixed reviews by critics (even earning him the Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor in both Episodes II and III), he became very popular among audiences, being named in both People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People and Teen People's 25 Hottest Stars under 25. He went on to receive good reviews for 2003's Shattered Glass, which tells the true story of journalist Stephen Glass, who was discovered fabricating stories as a writer for The New Republic.

Competed with his sister Hejsa Christensen (the captain), brother Tove Christensen and a family friend in Eco-Challenge Fiji Islands (2003). The Eco-Challenge consists of a 500-kilometer (300 miles) race that included the tasks of hiking, swimming, kayaking and mountain biking their way through the Fiji archipelago. Only 23 out of 81 teams finished this race. Christensen was one of the youngest competitors in the race.

His London theatre co-star Jake Gyllenhaal said Hayden's armpits stank so much that after touching him, the smell remained on Jake's skin for days.

He fractured his hand during the filming of a rather violent scene in LIFE AS A HEOUSE in which his character hits a wall. Afterwards he had to go to hospital and that scene was cut out of the movie.



Joseph "Joey" Lawrence (born April 20, 1976) is an American actor. He became successful through the TV show Gimme A Break and followed that up with the TV series Blossom in the 1990s, in which he played the character Joey Russo, a dim-witted young man who frequently uttered the phrase "WHOA!" At that time he used his nickname Joey. In the wake of his acting success, he started a recording career, releasing two albums during the 1990s. In later years he went back to using his given name Joseph. Most recently he competed in the 2006 season of Dancing With the Stars competition, but was eliminated from the competition on November 9, 2006.

 I'm trying to decide if I like the bald Joey or the Joey with hair.
