Quaden Bayles celebrates 12th birthday!
Bullied child turned Hollywood superstar Quaden Bayles has celebrated his birthday in style.
Quaden’s mother Yarraka Bayles shared multiple selfies with her 12-year-old son smiling widely as he celebrates his birthday.
“Can’t believe my baby boy is 12y.o and off to high school next month,” she wrote.
Quaden first took the world by storm after his mum shared a video of him crying and wanting to die because of vicious bullies.
The video, which was viewed more than three million times, shows Quaden saying: “I just want to stab myself in the heart... I want someone to kill me.”
The heartbreaking video went viral and soon enough Quaden was receiving support from all over the world.
US comedian Brad Williams, who also has dwarfism, set up an online fundraiser to “send a wonderful kid to Disneyland”.
However, the family rejected the offer and instead said they wanted to donate the money to charities to help tackle bullying and suicide.
Quaden then once again came under the spotlight with many accusing him of lying about his age, saying he was in fact an 18-year-old.
The accusation was squashed immediately by his mum who called on people to be educated before making mean comments.
“Can you please educate your children, your families, your friends because all it takes is one more instance... and you wonder why kids are killing themselves,” she said.
Quaden is now living a dream life, and is set to appear in the latest instalment of The Mad Max franchise, Furiosa.
He also took over the red carpet for Three Thousand Years of Longing wearing a smart navy-blue Calvin Klein suit and white sneakers.
He now has an agent and is listed on Chic Talent's website as an actor.
