Almost immediately after the move, Jayden Lieberer began acting in commercials. A year later, he, without any prior acting training,got his first role in a Hollywood film. He appeared in the romantic comedy "Shattered Heart", where he played the main character as a child.

The film was released only three years later, in 2015. In 2013, Jayden appeared in the short film Sorrow.

First successes

In 2014, the young actor got the lead role in the comedy "Saint Vincent", for Jayden Lieberer the film was a real breakthrough. He appeared on the screen along with such stars as Bill Murray, Naomi Watts, Melissa McCarthy and Terrence Howard. The picture was positively received by critics and collected more than fifty million dollars at the box office.

As a result, the film was nominated for the prestigious Golden Globe Award in the category "Best Film: Comedy or Musical", and Jaden himself was nominated for several lesser-known awards as the best young actor of the year. At the end of the award season, the aspiring actor received awards from film critics associations from Las Vegas and the city of Phoenix.

Follow-up projects

The following year, the actor appeared in the romantic comedy Aloha. Written and directed by acclaimed Oscar-winning cinematographer Cameron Crowe, the cast included the likes of Bradley Cooper, Bill Murray, Emma Stone, Alec Baldwin, John Krasinski, Rachel McAdams and more.

As a result, the project was a financial and creative failure and was crushed by critics. In 2015, Jayden also voicedone of the characters in the popular animated series "American Dad" and received a regular role in the successful series "Masters of Sex". He played the son of the main characters throughout the third and fourth seasons, appearing in a total of eleven episodes of what many critics call one of the best television dramas of the twenty-first century.

In 2016, several films with Jaden Lieberer were released at once. He starred in the independent tragicomedy Confirmation, where he played the son of Clive Owen's character. The film was released in limited release, in just a few theaters in the United States, as well as on digital platforms. Critics almost unanimously agreed that the project was a success.

Also, Jayden appeared in one of the main roles in the sci-fi drama star of American independent cinema, the director of the films "Mud" and "Loving" Jeff Nichols "Midnight Special". The picture participated in the main competition of the Berlin Film Festival and received positive reviews from critics.

International success

The most important project in the biography of Jayden Lieberer at the moment, of course, was the horror film based on Stephen King's "It". The actor played the main role in the film, which, with a rather modest budget, became one of the highest-grossing films of the year, collecting seven hundred million dollars at the worldwide box office. "It" became a phenomenon in popular culture and made young performersleading roles by real stars. Photos of Jaden Lieberer began to appear in glossy magazines, and he also began to receive many offers and new roles.

Also in 2017, Jayden played one of the main roles in the film "The Book of Henry" from the director of "Jurassic World" Colin Trevorrow. After the release of the trailer, the picture was considered one of the most interesting releases of the year, but after the release, the film was crushed by film critics. The audience was also not enthusiastic about the picture, with a budget of ten million dollars, its fees amounted to just under five. However, the acting work, and in particular the game of Liberer, was praised by many critics. The film's main problem was the illogical script.

Future projects

At the moment, several projects with the participation of the actor are at the production stage. Jayden will play the title role in Real Life Teen Wolf, opposite Chloe Sevigna and John Turturro. The actor will also appear in the horror film "The Lodge" along with Riley Keough and Richard Armitage.

Besides this, Jaden Lieberer will appear in the second part of the film "It", but his screen time is unlikely to be great, because the action of the picture will concentrate on the already grown-up heroes. But Jayden's fee will grow, because according to rumors, for the first film he received only one hundred thousand dollars, for the second part the actor will be paid a quarter of a million. The actor will also play a major role inindependent drama "Low Tide".

The career of a fifteen-year-old actor is amazing. By the age of fifteen, he was able to work with such notable directors as Cameron Crowe, Jeff Nichols and Ted Melfi, as well as receive critical acclaim. There is every reason to believe that he will continue to continue to choose projects just as well and become one of the main stars of Hollywood.
