Anakin Skywalker actor Hayden Christensen has revealed the strangest fan encounter he’s ever had.
Speaking on stage at L.A. Comic Con, as reported by The Nerd Wire, the Star Wars veteran said that years ago, a burglar recognized him during a robbery at his home, apologized, then gave his stuff back.
Christensen was upstairs when he heard the door open, and when he found the burglar, he was holding his belongings. “I’m like, is this a delivery guy?” Christensen was quoted as saying. “And I look and I’m like, this is all my stuff.”
Remarkably, Christensen then offered to buy the man who broke into his house a train ticket home. No, a Jedi mind trick hadn’t caused the burglar to have a surprise change of heart. He just happened to be a fan who decided on a quick U-turn.
Christensen said that the apologetic burglar was struggling for money and was trying to buy a ticket home. And in an act of kindness that Master Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi would have been proud of, Christensen gave the burglar some clothes and shoes to help him in job interviews, then offered to drive him to the train station himself and buy his ticket home the next day.
The burglar failed to show up, however. Perhaps he feared a turn to the Dark side of the Force if he returned to the scene of the crime.
