A few years back, a heart-wrenching video had gone viral on social media featuring a young Australian boy named Quaden Bayles, who was seen sobbing after a difficult day at school. Viciously bullied for his dwarfism, Bayles was heard asking for “rope” to end his life after being bullied at school.
Years later, after the distressing footage of Quaden Bayles broke people’s hearts, the youngster found a new lease on life with a role in the highly anticipated film Furiosa. However, as he basks in the glory of his newfound success, trolls spread false information, attempting to dampen his spirit. But worry not, the internet has got Bayles’ back against the lowlives.
Bullied Kid Quaden Bayles Finds His Breakthrough in Furiosa
A few years back in 2020, a gut-wrenching video went viral, where a young Aussie kid named Quaden Bayles was seen in tears after getting bullied at school for his dwarfism. His mother, Yarraka Bayles, had posted the video, begging others to educate their children, after showing how her young son was crying in anguish and asking for a rope to end his life.
As the footage was shared with the hope that it might educate others about cruelty and discrimination, it eventually reached millions of people and broke several hearts in the process. The video thus received a huge amount of support, including from celebrities like Hugh Jackman, Mark Hamill, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
However, the biggest support seemingly came from Mad Max creator George Miller, who initially cast Quaden Bayles in Three Thousand Years of Longing in 2022, and later offered a role in his latest installment Furiosa. The news hit social media after Yarraka Bayles took to her Facebook page on Thursday to share a photograph of her 13-year-old son posing alongside Anya Taylor-Joy on the set of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
With Trolls Spreading Misinformation, Netizens Back Quaden Bayles
Quaden Bayles’ journey from being bullied to landing a role in a major film like Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is nothing short of inspiring. His courage and resilience in overcoming the pain of being bullied have thus captured the hearts of many after his heartbreaking video from 2020. But despite this success, trolls have attempted to bring him down, spreading false rumors and mocking his appearance.
As the report came from Quaden Bayles’ mother about his Hollywood casting, trolls resurfaced from the darkest corners of the internet, spreading hatred and false information in an attempt to break his spirit, once again. However, this time, the online community has refused to let the trolls win. Therefore, rallying behind Bayles in a heartwarming display of support, netizens protect the youngster from further bullying.
