Actor Hayden Christensen was more surprised than anyone when he found out that he had the opportunity to play the role of Anakin Skywalker in George Lucas바카라 beloved galactic saga, 바카라Star Wars: Attack of the Clones바카라 and 바카라Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith.바카라 Christensen wasn바카라t the top choice for the role, and now, in a recent conversation with Empire Magazine, he has revealed who was.
바카라I had heard that they바카라d met with Leonardo [DiCaprio] and a bunch of other actors,바카라 Christensen said. He further stated that he had lost all hope in playing the character. He added, 바카라That just confirmed my thought that the role would go to another actor. Through the entire auditioning process, I had told myself, from day one that I wasn바카라t going to get the part. It just wasn바카라t a possibility. And I think that probably helped me a lot, because it just freed me up in a lot of ways. And so it really came as a surprise to me when I got the part.바카라
Recalling his audition for the role at the age of 18, he admitted that it seemed 바카라too big.바카라 He even revealed that he had asked his agent if there was another role being cast because he had convinced himself that bagging the role of Anakin seemed somewhat unattainable.
Back in 2015, when the 바카라Titanic바카라 actor was asked about the time George Lucas offered him to play the iconic Jedi character, DiCaprio revealed that he turned it down, because he 바카라just didn바카라t feel ready to take that dive.바카라
Although fans have now warmed up to Hayden Christensen바카라s casting, the initial reviews for his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader were not as favourable. Recalling the time he received backlash, similar to the prequel movies, Christensen stated, 바카라The character was criticized, my performance was criticized, and that part sucked. But I also felt like I had some context that perhaps helped a little bit. When 바카라Episode I바카라 came out, there was a lot of excitement that they were making a new 바카라Star Wars,바카라 and it was going to be the back-story of Darth Vader. But I had friends that were upset that the character was starting off as this young kid. And I watched the film, and I loved it. It was everything I wanted and more. And I didn바카라t understand the disconnect between the movie that I saw, and the negativity in some of the reviews.바카라
Expressing the chance to play the character, he revealed that he 바카라felt very lucky바카라 to have the golden opportunity.
