Hayden Christensen teleports around the world in the new sci-fi movie "Jumper." He spoke to Ramin Setoodeh.

Is it true that you own a farm?
I bought it for my family. It's just north of Toronto, and I spend some time there.

Do you do any chores?
You can't really classify it as a chore after you're 16 years old.

But do you milk the cows?
I don't have any cows to milk yet. Eventually. But I do a lot of the work myself.

Like?
Like fixing up the farmhouse. There's a few hayfields on the property that we had to cut.

How do you cut a hayfield?
There's a tractor that does the cutting. I can't actually take credit for the driving of the tractor, because at the time I didn't know how to do it. I brought in a farmer who did. But I got myself a tractor now, so next year I'll be all over it.

Do you need a tractor license?
Good question. Not as far as I know. But I could be wrong. I know you need a license to drive a dump truck.

How do you know that?
Because I have one and I don't have a license. That was a slight oversight on my part.

Why do you have a dump truck?
Because I have a farm.

Do you go around collecting the neighbors ' trash?
I'm using it more for relocating dirt on my property.
