Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels, has revealed why he left Hollywood after achieving global fame.

He left Hollywood to live on a farm.

In a candid interview, the 90 Minutes in Heaven star admitted that he felt like a ‘fraud’ whose success and fame were ‘a little too handed’ to him.

“I guess I felt like I had this great thing in Star Wars that provided all these opportunities and gave me a career, but it all kind of felt a little too handed to me,” the actor said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times while promoting his first film in five years, 90 Minutes in Heaven. “I didn’t want to go through life feeling like I was just riding a wave.”

90 Minutes in Heaven was released in September to critical acclaim, but he insists he is content to maintain a low profile.

“You can’t take years off and not have it affect your career,” he said. “But I don’t know – in a weird, sort of destructive way there was something appealing about that to me.

“There was something in the back of my head that was like, ‘If this time away is gonna be damaging to my career, then so be it. If I can come back afterwards and claw my way back in then maybe I’ll feel like I earned it.”

While we’re confident Christensen won’t have to “claw” his way back into the film industry, it’s encouraging to learn that even the most famous of us sometimes feel like a fraud. We all need time away from the chaos of everyday life to figure out who we are and what we want, and our favorite celebrities are no exception.

In 90 Minutes In Heaven, which also stars Kate Bosworth, Christensen plays a guy who is declared dead following a car accident, only to resurrect an hour and a half later, claiming to have seen the afterlife.
