Nathan was born on June 25, 1979, in London when his father was filming the sci-fi film "The Empire Strikes Back," where he starred alongside Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford. He was born in the wee hours of the morning when Mark had filmed his falling-from-the-cloud city scene.

The photo shows Nathan's head spurring out of cylindrical equipment, which actor Kenny Baker usually occupied. In the post, his father wrote:

"My son Nathan was born in London while I was filming 'Empire Strikes Back.' Nathan had the 'Return of The Jedi' set as his personal playground!"

Nathan Hamill's Ex Accused Mark Hamill of Pressuring Her to Terminate Her Pregnancy

In 2016, Maegan Chen, a former erotic actress, claimed she was pregnant with Nathan Hamill's baby and wanted to confirm paternity and collect child support. However, Chen stated that Hamill's family failed to cooperate and pressured her to have an abortion.

Chen claimed Mark told her not to bring a child nobody wants into the world and that his son wasn't ready to be a father. According to Chen, she met Nathan in 2015 through Tinder, and the two kicked it off immediately. They met in Los Angeles on their first date and hung out in a bar on New Year's Eve.

After dating for three months, Chen discovered she was pregnant. However, when Chen told Nathan she was expecting a baby, he insisted she should get an abortion and that the two would stop hanging out together if she didn't.

She then said she met Mark and his family in London, and his wife, Marilou, set up an appointment with a specialist to discuss pregnancy termination.

Chen claimed that at first, she thought the appointment was about her getting an ultrasound of the baby but was shocked to find out it was a referral for an abortion. Despite Chen's claims, the Hamill family never addressed the accusations.
