The verdict
Born in Vancouver and raised in Markham, Ontario, Hayden Christensen will forever be Anakin Skywalker — and also forever be Canadian. After years away from Hollywood, he returned to acting in Obi-Wan Kenobi while running a farm in Ontario. Of course the Canadian Star Wars villain retreated to a farm. Of course he did.
