Jake Lloyd (Anakin Skywalker Arrested)

Jake Lloyd (Anakin Skywalker Arrested)
Dude, this guy is one angry man. It's like he read the text book for f'ed up child stars. Geez, the man is pissed about life in general. 


Folks, I'm not making this up.
From Daily Beast.com, ((The star of ‘The Phantom Menace’ was arrested after getting into a high-speed chase with cops and crashing into a tree. But there’s more to the story of Jake Lloyd than meets the eye. ))
I suppose being in a so-so Star Wars movie will do that to you. I'm guessing this high speed chase didn't involve pod-racers. And, the cops should known that he's the best racer in the galaxy. Like a true Sith, he resisted arrest and failed to stop for police.
And, that Jedi skill is started to fade because he crashed his car into a tree around the 100 MPH mark. Great, Jake, you can't even be a criminal let alone an actor.
From the Daily Beast, ((his time working on the Star Wars films led to bullying in school that he described as a “living hell” exacerbated by having to do upwards of 60 interviews a day. “I’ve learned to hate it when the cameras are pointed at me,” ))
I see this a lot with actors involved in shows and movies at a young age. Some seem to weather the storm and still work out to be good adult actors. I think you can come back from a shit storm like Ep 1 and come out smelling like a rose. I don't think Jake should have even been an actor to begin with and would have been happier being a normal child. Plus, Lucas made a huge mistake casting him as the main focus of the Prequel. I think Lucas' ego told him he could draw out a good performance from a bad actor. He was wrong.
Now, we have this angry little man that will be a danger to everyone around him.
If he's not careful, Jake could become another Brian Bonsall (Family Ties, Worf's son) or he could be the next Gary Coleman.
And, that stupid Three Musketeers mustache is helping you.
