Star Wars and Shattered Glass actor Hayden Christensen got the most welcomed surprise during an appearance at the Calgary Expo on Saturday.
Christensen, who earned global notoriety for his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the Star Wars prequels, is from Canada and has been a Toronto Maple Leafs fan for quite some time.
As the Leafs made history by advancing in the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in nearly 20 years, a fan shouted out the result to Christensen while he was on stage doing a Q-&-A.
Sporting a Maple Leafs cap, he promptly stood up and looked absolutely delighted as he cheered for the news.

Toronto hasn’t advanced in a playoff series since 2004, back when Christensen was still actively playing Anakin Skywalker.
As you can imagine, Maple Leafs fans are jubilant for their historic series victory, and Christensen joins his fellow Canadians in celebrating the massive achievement.
