“So he was wasting away. He just looked drained, he was just depleted, he wasn’t getting the nutrients,” says Will who added that Jaden even “had dark circles under his eyes and there was even a little grayness to his skin,” Will explained. “We got really nervous. But you’re definitely looking better now.”

Jaden made it clear that he's a vegetarian now, but at the time he was only eating one meal a day, which is something his mother, Jada could relate to saying that she’d rather not eat due to feeling “uncomfortable.”
