Former child actor Jake Lloyd, known for his role as Anakin Skywalker in 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace,' has been receiving treatment at a mental health facility for the past 10 months, as revealed by his mother. The decision for Jake to enter an inpatient program came after he experienced a psychotic break in March 2023.
According to his mother, Lisa Lloyd, the incident occurred while she was driving Jake home from a McDonald's run. Jake expressed a desire to turn off the car, which led to a disruptive situation in the middle of traffic lanes, prompting other drivers to contact emergency services. Lisa described Jake's communication with the police as nonsensical, indicating a state of confusion and disorientation.
