1. According to his "official" bio, he was born in Toronto, but moved out to Hollywood to act. In reality, he finished high school early and ran away from home and his disapproving drunk of a father, to follow his dream of acting.
2. According to his own testimony and all accounts, he's straighter than a ruler. He's had several very public relationships with girls -- very notably: Natalie Portman, which was on-and-off during their time together in the Star Wars films; Sarah Chalke, also known as Elliot Reid on Scrubs; Leslie Levine, a costume designer in Hollywood; Abigail Rosenthal, a dancer in Spamalot on Broadway; Delilah Cohen, a Harvard law student; Eva Ginsberg, an undergrad at NYC's School of Visual Arts; Mischa Barton, his costar in Virgin Territory; Sierra Boggess, actress behind Ariel in the Broadway adaptation of The Little Mermaid; and, reportedly, Adela Segal, an aspiring screenwriter working as a waitress in Hollywood. All of the relationships eventually fizzled, some ending better than others, and he's been accused of having a fetish for Jewish girls (which isn't an unfair accusation, seeing as six of his exes are Jewish).
3. Although there have been aspersions cast on his sexuality, sometimes in reputable-ish gossip publications, such as Star, most people really do believe that he's straight. He tries to make himself believe it too, figuring that, if he's with enough girls, he'll eventually find "the right one," which is to say, "one with a nice personality, and who he won't need to think about Harrison Ford, Johnny Depp, Samuel L. Jackson, or Fionn O'Reilly while fucking."
4. Had an incredibly religious upbringing. Since running away from home, he's managed to shed most of it and is a fairly liberally-minded person -- aside from being rather homophobic. It's not something he really advertises, and, as far as most of the world is concerned, he's perfectly tolerant of homosexuality and has a stance of, "I don't want to have sex with a dude, but you can" ... but he's definitely internalized the belief that homosexuality is wrong. He's all for gay marriage and stuff, and he's got gay friends, but, seriously, he doesn't react that well to having gay accusations leveled at him, and he really, really doesn't want to hear about your gay buttsex.
5. Totally overcompensates for his homosexuality by working on his body. He takes physical fitness very seriously and, though he does drink (sometimes a bit too much, which hasn't caught up with him in a gay way yet, but probably will, in time), he doesn't smoke, has a very fastidious diet, and almost never breaks his work out schedule. In high school, he played soccer, football, baseball, and basketball, swam, and ran track; now, he has a balanced mix of good diet, daily runs, cardio, swimming, strength training, and playing pick-up games of his favorite sports with friends. See? He can't be gay. He's too much of an all American sports boy. And he totally doesn't listen to Broadway showtunes because he's gay. He just has respect for the theater. And he didn't want to be Anakin Skywalker because he spent his youth secretly masturbating to pictures of Han Solo, not at all.
