For those who don’t know, Jake Lloyd was the OG Anakin Skywalker in Phantom Menace. After filming, he was picked on and harassed at school by his classmates who would also repeatedly make lightsaber sounds around him on top of the countless TV interviews he had to do (up to 60 a day). He hit his 20s and was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was arrested twice, 1st for attacking his mom, 2nd was for reckless driving. Now he’s trying to lay low and live out his days in peace as he tries to improve his mental health and be a better person. Long story short: he was overwhelmed at a young age, mental health tanked, got arrested, got out, now wants to be left alone.

Never understood the Jake Lloyd hate, thought he portrayed young ani very well. Better than most child actors in this day and age. Plus he was a kid, wtf was wrong with people back then

It’s crazy Jake was bullied in school for playing the role of Anakin. It had to be out of pure jealousy. May those bullies feel their karma one day

Jake Lloyd, quien interpretó al joven Anakin Skywalker en Star Wars: Episodio I - La amenaza fantasma, padece esquizofrenia y anosognosia (una condición que dificulta que la persona sea consciente de su propia enfermedad).
Detalles de su situación de salud:
• Diagnóstico: Le diagnosticaron esquizofrenia en 2008, cuando tenía 19 años. Su madre, Lisa Lloyd, ha explicado que se trata de una condición con antecedentes genéticos en la familia.
• Retiro de la actuación: Abandonó el cine en 2001, influenciado por dificultades personales, acoso escolar (bullying) y el inicio de sus problemas de salud mental.
• Tratamiento actual: Tras sufrir un brote psicótico en 2023, estuvo internado 18 meses en un centro de salud mental. Actualmente se encuentra en un centro de rehabilitación recibiendo tratamiento y rodeado del apoyo de su familia y seguidores.
