Brandon “Bug” Hall cites 2020 arrest as catalyst for vow of poverty

Former child actor Brandon “Bug” Hall said in Arkansas that his 2020 arrest for alleged inhalant use prompted him to adopt a minimalist lifestyle he describes as a “vow of poverty,” Page Six reported on November 10. He launched a GoFundMe campaign in early November to raise money for household expenses as his wife expected their sixth child, according to AOL. com.

The fundraiser later surpassed $15,000, USA Today noted, and Hall said he would keep the campaign active despite criticism from some fans, also reported by USA Today. Page Six earlier highlighted that Hall has faced multiple arrests since moving away from Hollywood in 2020.
