It's not often we get to hear from Hayden Christensen. Besides his recent relationship with Rachel Bilson, he seems to be laying low. That might have something to do with the fact that he spends a lot of his time in London and when he's in LA he tries to stay under the radar. Hayden recently told enRoute magazine that he's definitely trying to keep it real after being boosted to fame from the Star Wars films and if that means buying a farm and moving to Canada, so be it. Here's more:
- On his newest purchase:
“I recently acquired a farm north of Toronto,” Christensen says, “and I just bought a big excavator and a dump truck and a bobcat – construction toys. I plan to start building soon. I can’t wait to go out there and move dirt and get my hands dirty. It’s currently a hay farm, but I want it to be a working farm. I want to fill the barn with livestock. First pigs, then cattle and horses.” - On keeping a low profile:
“Lifestyle has a lot to do with how often you end up in the tabloids,” he says. “Daniel Day-Lewis went to Italy and became a cobbler. I went out and bought construction equipment.”
Luckily for us, he has three films in the can so even if he's milking cows in Canada we'll still be able to get to see more of Hayden here in the states. As for his time with Rachel, the two were spotted in Toronto shopping for home furnishings this week. There's nothing like a woman's touch to make his new farm a home!

He sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders.
1I love Rbils but I hate to say it on all the other posts it never really showed haydens face and I honestly didnt know who he was untill now! oops
2it's hard for me to imagine r bilson on a farm....
3I thought he was gay. Huh.
4Marriednotdead I love the baby pic its soooo adorable lol as for hayden I love when a guy is just simple like to do things a lil different. He seems like a very nice guy. Rachell is lucky.
5Farm, nature, yuck! He's cute, very cute but I'm not so sure about him and the Bilson.
6Those are interesting pictures!
7I love the pics he's very cute
8yeah.. he seems like a nice guy.. but Bilson is a California girl through and through.. so i agree with marriednotdead.. I can't see her destined for a life of milking cows and feeding chickens in cold Canada...
9He sounds very grounded. And he's gorgeous.
10His relationship with R. Bilson aside, it is refreshing to her a celebrity sound so simple. and he is right, although it is impossible to stay out of the papparazzi's sight totally, there are ways around avoiding constant exposure, like not lunching at the Ivy. just my 2 cents
11i love him even more! i love farms. as long as they're near a town. i can't see rbils living in the farm, but neither did i see hayden buying a farm. so. oh, and i'm glad he hasn't figuratively "bought the farm." isn't that an expression meaning someone died?
12Oh my crush on him just grew about 50 points. And now I am jealous of Rachel!
13and since roxy17 brought it up, i always wondered what was so special about The Ivy, aside from being seen. do they have good food or something? there are plenty of terrific restaurants in the world to choose from. has anyone been there?
14Fug.
15Huh, he is cuter than I thought he was. He surely would be more attractive with darker hair, because he does have nice features.
16Oh my God, Daniel Day Lewis makes shoes?? How dreamy...
17thive every time I read a post from you I burst out laughing, it might be one word but it's just soo funny. There were all the positive he's cute posts and then bam! Thive arrives. LMFAO!
18I love his face, all sexy and brooding,he just needs a new pair of sneakers...go RBils
19ya im never really got his appeal but then again first time i saw him he was wearing robe and swing around a giant glow stick.
20I love him to death. He's such a sweetie pie. I could totally picture him doing the whole farm thing XD
21Marry me?
OK not for nothing he's very cute. glad he has a good head. I'm a HUGE STAR WARS fan. This boy was such a bad actor. i dont' know if he did anything after that. But GOD help me if he hasn't gotten better since.
22popsugar...you put in the wrong tag for this post..you wrote rachel mcadams instead of rachel bilson & for a second i thought..crap, this guy is going out with rachel mcadams? when did that happen? but i see it was a confusion...phew!
23i'm kind of accepting of the adam and rachel split now. i guess hayden isn't that bad.
24They seam happy together. She's not so much into the Hollywood scene, so I can see her chillin' on a farm in Canada.
25Wow! I haven't seen studio type pics of him in a long time. He's growing up, awwwww.
26those pix are pretty neat , love him!he`s a cutie
27annamarie...I can't see her destined for a life of milking cows and feeding chickens in cold Canada..
Yeah cause we live in igloos up here and it's freezing 24/7/365.....geez.
Hayden was in a Canadian TV show before Star Wars and he was pretty good in it.
28he is a hottie. it's cute he bought a farm but even cuter he bought bobcat and skidloader... I guess personal jets are out of style. Love everything about this post minus the pigs... pig farms are smelly.
29Is he still pretending to be straight? I think he is way gay. He and Ryan Seacrest think they're fooling people ... NOT!
30He's gorgeous! Very down to earth, and a smart guy. He sounds happy being a regular guy. I'm not sure about the R-Bils thing. Can't see her on a farm. Me? I'm all for a farm-pigs included-if he comes with the deal.
31Is he splashing around in milk? Interesting shoot, he looks hot. Not so sure about the farm thing but it's great that Hayden and Rachel get a little private time in Canada without the paps following their every move.
32He's cute, but he is no Daniel Day Lewis. Not by a long shot.
33Does anyone else feel like he's slightly pretentious? I always feel like when people have to tell you how down to earth they are, that they "doth protest too much." And like - dude - if you want to keep a low profile, why are you doing this interview anyway and telling everyone about your farm?
And also - puhleeeease - he's no Daniel Day-Lewis.
34Hottie Hayden.
35this man is hot
36hmmm loved him in star wars... I did..
37The name sounds familiar but his face doesn't.
38Well, he can't really act, but..he does look gorgeous *sigh
39and is by far the most normal man in Hollywood. I really, really like him. Hope he never changes!
hmmhh well rachel is a very luck girl,hope everything between them works out....i wouldn't want rachel to be heartbrken again...
40He seems so level headed from start to finish. I hope he always stays that way.
