This is the TRAGIC story of Jake Lloyd aka Young Anakin #morbid #shorts

[MrAchsas]

Poor kid... Shame on all the people that bullied him

[oblivionseddie]

No. When you find out what they do to kids in Hollywood it’s wasn’t him.... its not schizophrenia either.

[rasmushedberg]

“ He was involved in a high speed car chase with police” Considering that he won that pod race, im sure that wouldn’t be hard for him

I met the actor who played Chewbacca at a convention. He has to walk with two canes because his knees are ruined due to his height.

Poor young Ani
He didn’t deserve that treatment

[spartanknight]

The last one was sad. As SW Fans blamed Jake for how bad the movie was. So things may have been different if Jake wasn't in the movie. However it will still happen to some other kid.

I actually met Jake Loyde at a star wars convention and got his autograph. He was really nice.

With that kid the story is so sad he was never able to make friends because he was bullied from elementary-high school because he was anakin and he had to go to up to 10 interviews a day so even if he made friends he couldn’t hang out with them and he quit acting because he was so tied to the role of anakin so nobody hired him so he started to hate his mom for getting him the role and eventually developed schizophrenia and one day he assaulted his mom and went like 120 down the highway Star wars without a doubt ruined his life and it’s really sad

People turning the actor who played young Anakin into actual Darth Vader

Some people aren't crazy. Part of their spirit is crushed by what they have gone through.

[matthewweng]

People online were merciless to that kid... the internet is a haven for haters and old men screaming at the clouds.

[BigMoney]

That’s so heartbreaking him destroying all his memorabilia. I bet he had amazing items that he should have kept forever. But kids had to ruin it for him, people are terrible

[coltonadkins]

The industry is ruthless. Not a place for kids.

"He was involved in a high speed car chase with police"

*NOW THIS IS PODRACING*

[connrized]

They made Jake Lloyd do back-to-back interviews after Ep1 for weeks. On top of the bullying for his role, no wonder that poor man literally went insane.

[williethomas]

That's really sad about Jake Lloyd. He was a kid doing a job. He did it quite honorably. This was at the beginning of the internet taking over everything. We have since learned the people who yell the loudest are usually not the majority.
Wishing that still young man the best.

[donniebuster]

Mark Hamill has vehemently denied that the car wreck was that bad and it's just turned into an urban legend.

[cainmathewson]

My aunt was actually his pediatric psychiatrist In Indianapolis. She never said much about what they talked about tho. Just that the film really took a toll on his psyche

[Olive-oilien]

It’s such a shame what happened to that kid. I hope he’s doing better now.

[TheNightWatcher]

It’s so frustrating when fans attack the actors just for being in a movie they don’t like.
