STAR WARS - CHRISTENSEN TURNED DOWN PACINO FILM FOR STAR WARS

The second STAR WARS trilogy cost HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN the chance to work with his acting hero AL PACINO.
The Canadian actor reveals he had to turn down multiple roles during his five-year stint as Anakin Skywalker, but the chance to team up with Pacino was a particularly tough opportunity to dismiss.
He says, "That really bummed me out."
And Christensen admits he had mixed emotions when his time in movie mogul George Lucas' world was over.
He adds, "It was definitely bittersweet. I definitely enjoyed the sense of career freedom when they (films) were over."
