Jake Lloyd in "The Phantom Menace": The backlash this kid got over playing young Anakin Skywalker was heartless


Why did the media attack a 9 year boy instead of the director or the writer? I remember how awful the press was as well the crazy Star Wars fans and Jake Lloyd never recovered from that. He never acted again, he's had emotional issues ever since which led to schizophrenia and being placed in a psychiatric facility. After what he was put through by trolls, are we surprised?I mean, Ahmed Best said he considered suicide over Jar Jar Binks so imagine how a 9 year old child actor might have felt when everybody was attacking him and making fun of him? Even those morons from the Razzie Awards nominated him for Worst Supporting Actor.I don't even think Lloyd was bad, he gave a solid performance. The problem lied in the writing. via /r/movies http://bit.ly/2JMraZR
