filmdrunk.uproxx.com — 10 years ago, Jake Lloyd played Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode I. He’s now 20 years old. An Australian Sci Fi blog recently caught up with him during a trip down under. The resulting interview is a study in maintaining a cheerful exterior while reliving deeply scarring childhood events.

@GeorgeWKush, or, it indicates how poor your memory is, McGregor was in all three prequels as a major character.

When you show people sympathy, it shows that you're human. How many people do you know that have met him? I doubt that many.And, no, they probably weren't saying that when he was just ten. They were probably saying it when he was older, in middle/high school, where kids are brutal. Most of it was probably something rehashed from something they heard somewhere else, but that doesn't mean they didn't still use it against the kid. It's clear he's been bullied about it. Don't be high and mighty here. You've never been in his place.

That's called assault as a kid he would of got away with it to a point even then he would of been kicked out of school permanently. If he did any of that in "High School" and "College" he would be kicked out or in prison.

Just leave the kid/man (I suppose he's not a kid anymore) alone. I thought he did a great job at that age and It's not his fault the movie wasn't popular. Personally, I thought the 4th, 5th and 6th movies were a rip off, I thought the first one was way better. I don't blame him for complaining, I am very good with children and they can do things without thinking. I'm sure kids harrassed him and I'm sure he didn't help himself by trying to sell autographs for $20. Just leave him alone.
