Star Wars franchise actor Jake Lloyd has been largely off the radar for years amid his continued struggles with mental illness, and now the former child star’s family has offered a positive update on what’s been happening with him lately.
At the age of nine, Lloyd then became a household name when he appeared as the young version of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, a role which he would later reprise for Star Wars video games.
Lloyd may be several years removed from the Hollywood spotlight, but for many Star Wars fans, he’ll always have a special place as the young Anakin Skywalker.
Jake will continue to make progress with the love and support you continue to show.”
