Jake Lloyd, who starred as the rebellious, podracing soon-to-be-padawan Anakin Skywalker in “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,” has opened up about his struggle with schizophrenia that, in part, caused him to step away from acting shortly after the “Star Wars” prequel released in 1999.

Jake Lloyd, who rose to fame as Anakin Skywalker in 1999's Star Wars: Episode 1 — The Phantom Menace, is opening up about his mental health struggles.

Over the last decade, Jake has also publicly struggled with his mental health, which has resulted in several arrests for charges like alleged assault and reckless driving. In 2015, his mother Lisa Lloyd revealed that he'd been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and last year he was hospitalized for 18 months after experiencing a "psychotic break."
