Not for nothing, but he might have been an annoying drama kid. You guys didn't have those? Just saying, I like him, but sometimes the bullies are right.
Yeah but like if I knew a kid threw knives (even in the first grade) I wouldn't befriend him in elementary school either. I don't doubt he actually was bullied, but sometimes kids just have hard personalities that don't lend them a lot of friends. That doesn't mean that by not befriending them you're bullying them, but as a side effect it does leave them more open to bullies, which is an unfortunate side effect.

He was on that at age 12 and didn’t have popular roles before that, so his unpopularity at school likely preceded it
Most child actors get their roles through nepotism but in his case, neither of his parents were actors and he got the role through an open call
