Former child star Bug Hall<\/strong> broke his silence about choosing poverty \u2014 and Catholic extremism \u2014 after an arrest for huffing air duster.<\/p>\n Hall, 40, who appeared in the 1994 movie Little Rascals<\/em> as Alfalfa, spoke to Daily Mail<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday, January 28, about leaving Hollywood behind to move his wife and their five kids to a small area near Arkansas. Hall said that he now identifies as a \u201cradical Catholic extremist\u201d<\/a> who opted to give up the money he made as an actor for \u201ca vow of poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf there\u2019s a financial need that comes up, I\u2019ll go take some work or do an odd job, for cash to fulfill that need,\u201d he explained about donating all of his savings and giving up most of his material items to \u201cmaintain a life as free of any need for an income as possible\u201d as part of his religious commitment.<\/p>\n Page Six<\/em> confirmed that Hall and his family currently live in a campervan with a water well and a generator. He told Daily Mail about plans to go fully off-the-grid by building a home with its own hydro-electrical dam, plumbing and electrical systems.<\/p>\n Hall and his wife, Jill de Groff<\/strong>, are homeschooling their kids with plans to \u201cstrongly discourage them\u201d from attending a mostly \u201cnonsense\u201d school or attending college when they become of age.<\/p>\n The former actor\u2019s younger brother, Gemini Barnet<\/strong>t, their mother, Twila, and his stepfather, Mark, have joined Hall in the move to Arkansas, where they recently bought plots of land as well.<\/p>\n Hall also addressed his decision to give up his career after an arrest in 2020<\/a> for allegedly huffing air duster cans. He claimed he was taken into police custody in Texas for misdemeanor possession but didn\u2019t face any charges.<\/p>\n After being sober for 15 years before the arrest, the incident became a wakeup call for Hall about not committing to a life of \u201cmanipulation, of other people, in how I speak to them, in the stuff that I make or produce \u2026 including myself, as an addict.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
