From being the most prominent child star of the 1970s to now appearing quite worn, his latest look has sparked concerns among fans

Many people aspire to carve out a niche for themselves under the Hollywood spotlight, but few realize that dream. Ricky Schroder, who gained fame as a child actor, became a household name at a young age. However, recent images of him have raised concerns among fans.

Born on April 13, 1970, in Staten Island, New York, Ricky began his acting journey in the late 1970s with the film The Champ, a role that earned him a Golden Globe and opened doors to more opportunities. He became well-known for his role in the beloved sitcom Silver Spoons, which ran from 1982 to 1987, further solidifying his reputation as a talented young actor.

Throughout his career, Ricky has appeared in various popular shows, including NYPD BlueScrubs, and Strong Medicine. He also ventured into directing and producing, notably earning the Best Director Award at the San Diego International Film Festival for his 2004 project, Black Cloud.

Despite his professional success, Ricky faced challenges in his personal life. In 1992, he was arrested following allegations of domestic violence made by his girlfriend, Andrea Bernard. The couple later reconciled, married, and had four children: Holden, Luke, Cambrie, and Faith, but their marriage ended in 2016.

After the divorce, Ricky struggled with personal issues, including partying, and faced estrangement from his eldest daughter. He was arrested again for domestic violence, though the case was ultimately dismissed.

In recent years, Ricky has distanced himself from the public eye, opting to live on his farm. He occasionally connects with fans through social media, sharing glimpses of his life and home.

One recent video sparked considerable attention, with viewers commenting on his noticeable change in appearance. Clad in typical farmer attire, he reminisced about his youth and spoke about his uncle’s military influence while urging fans to stay vigilant against corruption in the federal system.

However, many comments focused less on his message and more on his looks, with some expressing concern over his “rough” appearance. “What happened to Ricky Schroder?” one viewer questioned, while others echoed similar sentiments.

Conversely, some fans defended him, attributing his rugged look to his hard work as a farmer. “He’s living an honest life”, one commenter praised. It’s heartening to see Ricky Schroder embrace life on his own terms.

Terminally ill man warned others not to make the same mistake he had made

Liam had bravely shared his story to warn others not to make the same mistake that he did. Check in comments.

There are times when despite feeling unwell, we refuse to visit a doctor hoping that the pain would eventually go away on its own. The sad reality is that if we don’t seek medical help when we first feel the symptoms of an illness, it may be too late when we do it.

A 31-year-old man from Middlesborough, UK, who was battling terminal cancer advocated about the importance of regular check-ups and visiting a doctor on time.

Liam Griffiths believed that he could have been able to beat the cancer had he turned to a medical professional sooner.

Despite his efforts to beat the illness, Liam was delivered the devastating news it was fatal.

Namely, he was suffering from peritoneal cancer, a form of cancer that affects the lining of the abdomen.

In an interview, Liam revealed that he started experiencing stomach swelling, chronic constipation, cramps and vomiting in March of 2023. Although his symptoms seemed to be severe, he didn’t visit a doctor because he was self-employed and didn’t want to lose out on wages.

He hoped the symptoms would go away, but they only worsened and became even more severe which forced him to seek medical help. Once at the hospital, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, but a month later he got a call from the doctor and was informed that he was in fact misdiagnosed and that he had cancer.

He started treatments right away, but sadly, his cancer was resistant to the chemotherapy.

Despite the gravity of his situation, this young man found the time and strength to send a message to every person out there, and that message is not to delay the doctor’s visit in case you feel something’s wrong with your body.

“I want to push this message because if just one or two people go to the hospital and get checked because of my mistake and my story, that would be amazing,” he said. “They found my cancer at stage three advanced – but if I had just gone to see the doctors earlier, maybe they could have caught it. I was self-employed, and I needed the money, so I just kept powering through. I did what I thought a man needed to do – I was manning up.”

Not losing hope despite the dull prognosis, Liam’s friend, Eve Bannatyne, started a fundraiser which helped raise over £18,000 in donations for Liam’s private treatment because his chemotherapy on the NHS no longer worked.

“I remember I asked what my life span would look like and my doctor said he doesn’t want to give me a timeframe of when my life could end, because he doesn’t want me to focus my whole life around it,” Liam told Metro.

“I agreed and just decided I wanted to get home, fulfil some wishes and just live my life while I can.”

Sadly, Liam passed away on February 1, 2024.

The memorial service for him was led by Rev John Hearn. Liam’s dad spoke of his son and said, “Liam was a beautiful, funny, caring, big softie. As a kid he was very loving towards his mam and dad. There was always a cuddle. He also had his cheeky side.”

Liam’s life story serves as a reminder that we should always prioritize our health, even if that means losing out on wages or rescheduling certain commitments and duties.

We are so very sorry for this brave man’s passing. May he rest in peace.
