Movie
Kid, 12, Who Got Bullied By His Classmates Will Now Star In A Major Blockbuster With Chris Hemsworth
From an upset boy to a proud star.
Quaden Bayles was a sobbing mess 3 years ago in a viral video his mom uploaded. The poor boy was crying and begging for his classmates to stop making fun of him his mom turned it into a moment to raise awareness for others to pay extra attention to preventing bullying at school.
Today, Quaden is a proud boy who’s been given a role in a major blockbuster and the 12-year-old is set to star alongside Chris Hemsworth! There really can’t be an any better way to prove the haters wrong than showing that he’s loved by many!
Quaden Bayles is an indigenous Australian boy born with dwarfism (achondroplasia).
The world learned of his plea when his mother shared a video in 2020 where he was sobbing and disturbed after he was bullied by his classmates because of his appearance. With the video going viral, celebrities were giving him attention, one of them being Hugh Jackman who told him, “No matter what, you’ve got a friend in me. Quaden, you are stronger than you know, mate.”
He was soon signed up for “Mad Max” franchise and was given a role in the next movie, “Furiosa.” He was cast alongside A-listers from Hollywood, including the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
And of course, Chris Hemsworth too, as Dr. Dementus.
The movie is set to premiere on May 2024 and Quaden shared a post on his excitement for the movie. But before “Furiosa,” did you know that he’s had another role in another hit by George Miller?
Yes, he was in “Three Thousand Years of Longing” which aired this year! On the premiere, it really seemed that he’d found his passion in acting and was looking foward to do more. And with such passion, Miller cast him again for the latest installment in the “Mad Max” series.
Miller had also praised the boy and called him a “very film savvy and skilled” actor.
He continued, “Like everyone else, I saw the footage that his mother put up. I was incredibly moved by it.”
We’re excited to see even more future endeavors by this young man!
