10 Actors Who RUINED Movies In A Single Scene

10. Hayden Christensen's Creepy Flirting - Star Wars - Episode II: Attack Of The Clones

After years of being on the receiving end of waves of criticism for his work in George Lucas' prequel trilogy, Hayden Christensen has finally found himself being largely celebrated by Star Wars fans for both his performances in those Episodes and turns in the likes of the Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka series.

However, even with all of that deserved love being fired his way after all these years, there's still one specific exchange during Attack of the Clones in particular that even the most passionate Christensen lover would struggle to defend.

Completely failing to sell the idea of Padme Amidala having no choice but to fall in love with the maverick Jedi Anakin Skywalker, the way the young actor attempted to flirt his way through Lucas' admittedly excruciating sandy dialogue on Naboo will never not be a tough watch.

This middle chapter in the prequel section of the Skywalker Saga was obviously built around establishing the cause of Darth Vader's eventual rise - that being the death of his beloved Padme one Episode later.

But this first creepy flicker of love just forces you to cringe instead of swoon and pretty much killed the central romance of Episode II and III before it had even properly started.
