Jonathan Lipnicki discusses being bullied: “I’m not a victim, I’m a survivor.”
Remember the adorable, precocious kid from Jerry McGuire, The Little Vampire and Stuart Little?


This is what he looks like now.
Hello puberty!
After killing it as a child star, Lipnicki took a few years off from Hollywood, but is now opening up about his anxiety and depression, something the actor has been fighting his entire life.
“I’m sharing a little of my experience. It gives me anxiety being this open, but being bullied is a universal problem,” he wrote in a caption on instagram. “I am not a victim, but rather empowered because I was able to turn to my art.”
In an interview with Too Fab, the actor referred to this time as “the lowest point in his life.”
“I didnât go a day without being called some form of gay slur, or a hateful slur pretty much every day of middle school.”
He’s since received treatment for his conditions, which has energized him enough to get back into acting.
“Iâm out to prove anyone wrong thatâs ever doubted me,” he said. “I love work and I love the art of it. But Iâd be lying if I said I didnât want to go and say, âLook at me now. Iâm happy. Iâm creating my art and you canât stop me.”
You can catch Lipnicki in his upcoming film Pitching Tents, which is out later this month.
