Genetic lottery winner Hayden Christensen takes the May 2007 cover of enRoute, Air Canada’s monthly inflight magazine.

On discovering his face was plastered all over junk food packaging: “I remember the first time I went into a convenience store after Star Wars II came out. I walked in and saw my face on a bag of chips. Then I realized my face was on every bag of chips in the store and on every pop bottle. I had to turn around and leave. I didn't even buy the thing I'd gone in to get. It startled me.”

On not being man enough as a teen: “I was a hockey player and then a tennis player. I was embarrassed about the acting. I felt it wasn't jock enough.”

On his recent farm acquisition:  “I recently acquired a farm north of Toronto and I just bought a big excavator and a dump truck and a bobcat a€“ construction toys. I plan to start building soon. I can't wait to go out there and move dirt and get my hands dirty.”

On dealing with fame’s pressures: “Lifestyle has a lot to do with how often you end up in the tabloids. Daniel Day-Lewis went to Italy and became a cobbler. I went out and bought construction equipment.”

On not being worried about his career:  “I take it job by job, and I enjoy my time between projects. I want to still be acting 10 years from now, but then again I don't know... We'll see how the farming works out.”
