9. Jake Lloyd
When Jake Lloyd landed the role of the young Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequel, he was just eight years old. When Lloyd got older, he stated in an interview that he didn’t think director George Lucas met the public’s expectations with the movie, saying that many angry fans, including some of his classmates, were disappointed with the film. Lloyd revealed that he was bullied by other child stars on set, who would make the noise of the light saber each time they saw him. He admitted that things got too overwhelming on set, so he eventually quit the movie. Although it’s not one of his fondest memories, his portrayal of Anakin is still the role he’s best known for.
