Star Wars actor Jake Lloyd recovering in mental health facility after psychotic break, mother says
Lloyd played young Anakin Skywalker in 1999's "Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace."
It's been 25 years since Jake Lloyd played the young Anakin Skywalker in the first Star Wars prequel, 1999's Episode I — The Phantom Menace. Since then, he's stepped away from acting and has been dealing with his mental health, his mother explained in a recent interview.
According to Lisa Lloyd, Jake is about 10 months into an 18-month stay at a mental health rehabilitation facility after suffering what she called "a full-blown psychotic break."
Lloyd says her son was having a bad day when he was driving home from McDonald's in March 2023. “He said he wanted to turn the car off. And he turned the car off in the middle of the three lanes, and we were in the middle lane,” Lloyd told Scripps News. “There was a lot of yelling and screaming.”“The police got there, and they asked Jake some questions,” she continued. “He was talking to them, but none of it made sense. It was all word salad.”
Jake was taken to a hospital instead of jail and several months later he was transferred to an inpatient program at a mental health rehab facility.
Lloyd explained that her son's troubles began in high school when he struggled with defining reality and a doctor suggested he might have bipolar disorder. Jake was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, with the neurological condition anosognosia complicating efforts at treatment.
“When they finally told him, it totally threw him off into an even worse depression,” Lloyd said. “It was really hard.”
