Teen Bullied Because of His Height Is Now a Hollywood Actor, Starring Chris Hemsworth, Anya Taylor Joy | Tendency

13-year-old Quaden Bayles went viral in 2020 after his mother, Yarraka Bayles, posted a heartbreaking video of the teen. The video showed Quaden sobbing, crying and asking someone to “murder” him after being bullied at school. In an effort to raise awareness about the impacts of bullying and the psychological consequences it has on children, especially those with disabilities, his mother posted the video. Later, this video attracted the attention of many Hollywood celebrities who helped and supported Quaden.

Comedian Brad Williams, moved by Quaden's situation, created a GoFundMe page with the initial intention of raising $10,000 to take Quaden and his mother to Disneyland in California as a show of support and solidarity. The campaign raised nearly $470,000, far more than she had hoped, and the family donated it to charity.

Not only that, but the music video also reached prominent figures such as Hugh Jackman and George Miller. Miller, who directed films such as Mad Max: Furry Road, played Quaden in one film. He received an additional role in Three Thousand Years of Desire, released in 2022. Now, he also plays a fierce war boy in the film Furiosa, for which he received great acclaim. In this film, he stars alongside Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor Joy.

After seeing the teenager flourish, many people were happy for him and his accomplishments. Many also praised his performance.

Here's what people had to say:

One person said: “Congratulations to you Quaden, not only for the film, but for seeing more in life than meets the eye. Never give up or give power to others.”

A second said: “Hey man, great job, I really loved your role, keep it up!”

“Amazing picture. Can't wait to see the movie. Quaden looks good,” commented a third.

A fourth said: “I hope Quaden is in more films in the future.”
