There’s a lot of Homoerotic Fan Art Featuring Ewan McGregor & Hayden Christensen

Ewan McGregor recently revealed that he receives a lot homoerotic art from Star Wars fans, most of it featuring himself and co-star Hayden Christensen.

In an interview with GQ about his career, McGregor said that some fans have even sent him mail depicting a romantic relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin.

“There’s a lot of homoerotic Obi-Wan/Hayden fan art that gets sent to me now and again,” he said. “I don’t know how it finds me. It’s always a bit of an eyeopener.”

McGregor continued: “You open the envelope, you think you’re going to have to sign something, and you’re like, ‘Fucking hell!'”

McGregor and Christensen have previously said in interview roundtables attended by Insider that it was the fans’ love for their characters that persuaded them to come back for “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”

The pair originally starred in the “Star Wars” prequel trilogy in the early 2000s, which wasn’t received well by critics at the time. However, in recent years, fans who were children at the time the movies came out have expressed their love for them.

“”So it’s a really nice feeling for me that that’s the case, that I have a sense now that there’s this warmth for those films,” McGregor said during the roundtable. “It absolutely is part of the reason I wanted to come back and play him again.”

Christensen said: “I feel like I’m coming back now because of the fan base and because there is all of this incredible support now and love for the character.”

New episodes of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” premiere every Wednesday on Disney+.
