Rachel Bilson Explains Why Daughter Briar Hasn't Seen Dad Hayden Christensen in 'Star Wars' Yet

Rachel Bilson is dishing on being a celebrity mom.

In a new episode of the Betches Moms podcast, the 39-year-old The O.C. actress revealed that six-year-old daughter Briar, whom she shares with ex Hayden Christensen, doesn’t really “how famous” are parents are.

“I think she knows that her mom — and her dad’s an actor too —” so she kind of knows that we are in that world,” Rachel shared. “But she’s not aware of that level. She definitely doesn’t know how famous her dad is or the character he played was.”

Rachel then added that Briar knows that the 39-year-old actor was in Star Wars, but “has no idea what that even means, because she hasn’t seen anything.” If you don’t know, Hayden played Anakin Skywalker in Episodes II and III of the Star Wars series.

Rachel then explained why Briar hasn’t watched her dad in any of the Star Wars movies yet.

“I’d like to keep it that way. Thank God, because he kills children [in the movies], so let’s keep that from her until she’s like 80,” Rachel said with a laugh.

If you missed it, back in 2019 Hayden brought Briar to visit the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park. Check out the pics!

Rami Malek Once Asked Rachel Bilson To Take Down A Photo Of Them Because Of This

Rachel Bilson is opening up about the time that Rami Malek asked her to take down a photo she posted from their high school days.

During her appearance on Dax Shepard‘s Arm Chair Expert podcast, the 39-year-old former O.C. star revealed that she and Rami were close in high school.

“Rami was a good friend of mine,” she told Dax. “We were [in] the same crew. We did the Crucible together senior year, we were the leads in it together—all these things.”

As Rami rose to mega fame following his role in Bohemian Rhapsody, Rachel posted a throwback pic on her Instagram of the two in high school.

In the pic, the two were in New York City and looking pretty excited about being there. She jokingly captioned it, “Hey @ramimalek where’d you get that gold chain? #tbt #oscarworthy #dontforgetthelittlepeople.”

“I had posted a throwback of us from our senior trip to New York. We’re super nerdy…just the dorkiest picture of the both of us. But I throw it up, ’cause it’s funny and I think it’s so important to be able to make fun of yourself,” Rachel recalled about the photo.

However, it doesn’t seem Rami was a fan of her posting it, and he DMed her to take it down.
