From Michael J. to Justin Biebs: a brief history of Canadian teen heartthrobs Hayden Christiansen Raised in Thornhill, Christiansen got his break when George Lucas cast him over such big names as Leonardo DiCaprio and Ryan Phillippe as a young Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequel series (2002, 2005). Christiansen suffers from the sort of modelesque bone structure and piercing blue eyes that might relegate a lesser performer to the small screen, but he's more than a handsome Lucas muse.
