I feel sorry for him, but he seems to be pretty zen about the whole experience of growing up as little Ani.

[Captain Untouchable]

Are you sure he's zen? Looks to me like he's rocking slowly backwards and forwards like a crazy person...

[Lilaena De'Ville]

...You may be right... :ohno

[Dasquian Belargic]

He does look kinda crazy, but can you blame him?

I have to laugh at him saying an MMORPG is a little beyond his nerd level... :lol

[Ilias Nytrau]

I... uh... share a birthday with Jake Lloyd. But it was mine first. :lol

Double-post? Say no more!

I saw him and I believe his dad a few years ago by chance in a LA restaurant while passing through the city. Jake looked like he wanted to shrink into himself and disappear like a rabbit knowing it was about to be stew and I wouldn't blame him. His dad was being an absolute cutting and domineering jerk and asshole, making enough of a ruckus that they were drawing much attention from the tables around them, including the one I was sitting at.

If that was a regular thing in their relationship, then I wouldn't doubt that Jake was feeling the weight of judgment on him amongst family as well as by the public.... not healthy. :/

I want to hug the guy...

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Poor guy. He looks broken to me :(

[Rutabaga]

You know, I can't help but feel a little sorry for Jake Lloyd. He became such a punchline, and a scapegoat for all of TPM's flaws. And none of it was his fault. He was just a kid trying to do his best.

I hope he finishes school and has a good life. :)
