Jake Lloyd, known for his role as Anakin Skywalker in the 1999 film ‘Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,’ hid himself in the spotlight soon after the movie’s release.

Axar.az reports that recently, his mother, Lisa Lloyd, provided an update on her son’s well-being, addressing long-standing rumours within the Star Wars community.

In an interview with Scripps News, Lisa revealed that Jake was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2008. He experienced challenges with distinguishing between realities, often seeing people with “black eyes” and claiming to have conversations with Jon Stewart, the host of The Daily Show. Plus, Jake was found to have anosognosia, a neurological condition that leads to a denial of one’s symptoms.
