Actor Pilot Bunch was in an orphanage as a young child in Kazakhstan, where he was barely touched before being adopted by an Atlanta family. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, I have a sensory processing disorder,\u201d said Bunch, promoting his role as John Cena\u2019s older son in the new Netflix comedy \u201cLittle Brother.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m constantly seeking that attention I didn\u2019t get as an infant.\u201d <\/p>\n

Acting fulfills part of that need, he said, on top of hobbies like skating and breakdancing. He recalled that power while playing Scar in a stage rendition of \u201cThe Lion King\u201d as a third grader at Woodward Academy in College Park. <\/p>\n<\/article>\n
