Quaden Bayles, Young Boy With Dwarfism Bullied in 2020, Lands Role in Two George Miller Movies

A young boy who was bullied online in 2020 is landing some major deals.

Quaden Bayles, the 11-year-old Australian child who made headlines in 2020 after being taunted by classmates for his dwarfism due to a genetic condition called achondroplasia, has landed two roles in movies directed by Mad Max director George Miller.

If you don’t recall, Quaden‘s mother posted a video that went viral, showing him in tears after he was bullied by schoolmates, which garnered the support of many celebrities, including George.

Quaden Bayles' Family Turns Down Crowd-Funded Trip to Disney - Find Out Where the Money Is Going!

Quaden Bayles‘ family is doing something wonderful with the funds raised to support the young Australian boy after footage surfaced of him being bullied at school for his dwarfism.

Over $470,000 was donated to the family after the video went viral of Quaden crying after a bullying attack, which gained celebrity and media attention.

However, instead of accepting the money as a kind gesture to take Quaden and the family to Disneyland, his family revealed what they’re doing with the money instead.

“We want the money to go to community organisations that really need it. As much as we want to go to Disneyland, I think our community would far off benefit from that,” his aunt, Mundanara Bayles, told NITV.

They’ll be giving to two charities: Dwarfism Awareness Australia, and the Balunu Healing Foundation.

The family revealed they were in discussions with comedian Brad Williams, who started the GoFundMe and stated that “any excess money” from the Disneyland trip would be donated to anti-bullying and anti-abuse charities.

Quaden recently got the opportunity to do something really cool with the help of some famous friends. Find out what he did!
