Max, who was unmasked on the &#8216;Today Show&#8217; this morning, has a congenital heart defect that forced him to get a pacemaker at an early age. But that hasn&#8217;t stopped him from pursuing his dreams in Hollywood. He&#8217;s already appeared on &#8216;The Young and the Restless,&#8217; starred in a handful of regional commercials, and bears an uncanny resemblance to Meg Ryan. The kid&#8217;s such a natural, he doesn&#8217;t even need to prepare for his roles. Even after having donned Vader&#8217;s mask and cape, Max has yet to actually see &#8216;Star Wars.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-782\" title=\"darthkid\" src=\"http:\/\/outofmymind.scanlen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/darthkid-1297102408-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"http:\/\/outofmymind.scanlen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/darthkid-1297102408-300x191.jpg 300w, http:\/\/outofmymind.scanlen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/darthkid-1297102408.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VW decided to advertise the 2012 VW Passat during the last Superbowl event.
