Hayden Christensen Knows You'll Still Wonder if He's Gay
The Details article (accompanying the Steven Klein photos I posted yesterday) on Hayden Christensen is now online:
"And there are drawbacks [to fame], like people you don’t know starting to wonder whom you’re sleeping with—though Christensen’s been relatively lucky in this regard, mostly sidestepping invasive scrutiny. He’s been linked in the press, routinely and predictably, with whatever costar he’s currently filming with (Natalie Portman in Revenge of the Sith [he denies having dated her], Rachel Bilson in Jumpers), in the kinds of couplings that always carry a whiff of P.R. brimstone—and just as reliably dissolve shortly after opening weekend. He’s also, just as predictably, been the subject of speculation that he’s gay. He’s said on the record that he’s not. He’s also said he doesn’t mind people’s thinking he is. He knows they’ll talk either way."

The only thing I wonder about Hayden Christensen is why on earth anyone gives a damn about him at all.

Hmmm, I wonder what Hayden's ex-boyfriend Trevor Blumas will have to say about this?

He probably wont think anything, since the whole thing is garbarge. The Trevor thing was a cooked up by some lunatic who ended up committing suicide.

and Roscoe, to answer your question, because he's not a shallow Hollywood snob, and he is gorgeous. Why does anyone care about you? ever think about that?

I hate it when I see Hayden's name pop up on Towleroad.
My friends here know why!
:)

Does Hayden Christiansen also know I still wonder if he can act?
I was all set to see Jumper but now I'm apprehensive because I found out he's in it.

Love me some Hayden.
He's so beautiful!

He is so dull. He has no charisma onscreen (I just saw "Jumper" - believe me). Why people are so fascinated with him is a mystery to me - he's just another bland, pretty face. Jamie Bell, his "Jumper" co-star, has much more going on and is much sexier!

Goodness, Tattletale, get a grip. I don't see my picture being plastered all over the place in a vain effort to get some kind of interest generated in me by fanning some "is he or isn't he" gay rumors. I couldn't care less about Hayden Christensen because he is a pathetically bad actor, who manages to turn every line into a simpering snivel.

Hottie. Need more shirtless pics.

He does nothing for me. Bland. Dull. Unimpressive on all accounts. He has been awful in everything I've seen him in. I don't hate him, but he manages to leave no real impression. Why does he get work?
There was that Kevin Kline movie where he was blowing guys for money--THAT was his most believable role...

I've got a nice grip, thanks ;) you need to get a grip -- he DOES NOT CARE to generate interest in that sort of thing, he likes staying out of the limelight . He puts up with the questions because he's too nice a guy to tell people to f**k off. He has plenty of interest going for him with out having to "generate" it, you just don't know where to look. He's a really cool person because he doesn't give a crap what haters think. He takes chances, does roles he enjoys and is his own person. More than I can say for the Hollywood people

I Heart Hayden

Have to disagree with the naysayers. Hayden is gorgeous! And I happen to think his acting is a reflection of whatever script he's given. In 'Life' he was remarkable, in 'Star Wars' not so much. But he's cute in anything.'
Just wish he'd get rid of the cigs. They're not pretty no matter who's sucking them.

Tattletale, is that you Hayden? Defensive much?
Posted by: Jimmy | Feb 19, 2008 7:13:36 PM
I have to say I've only seen him in three films, his first Star Wars film which sucked, didn't bother with the last one. Life is a House, which I thought was pretty good, and I hate Kevin Kline. And Shattered Glass, which I thought was excellent.
It's funny how people bitch about Holly Wood stars who get all "I'm not gay" in every issue and all I hear from this guy is it doesn't bother me, when they don't stop asking. I wonder if Cruise or John Revolta would ever do that?

"ecause he's not a shallow Hollywood snob,"
Define "shallow"? Is'nt that when all a guy cares about is the dress size of someone he's dating?

Ditto to Roscoe's comment. He just makes me bored looking at him.
