Jesse Spencer The New Anakin Skywalker?Wednesday 29 September 1999 By eBroadcast Staff and agencies.
Every blonde teenage star in Hollywood has been suggested for the role of Anakin Skywalker in the next two Star Wars movies, but the hottest tip is coming from Australian shores.
It seems Australian Jesse Spencer (above-left, from the nightly Australian soap, Neighbours) is currently in talks with director George lucas to take on the role for at least the next installment.
Other stars previously suggested for the role have included Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Aussie Heath Ledger.
The rumour fits in well with the location of the shoot (Sydney, Australia) the age of the actor, and well - the blonde hair. The accent will need work though.
