Rising teen actor Hudson Meek, known for his role in 'Baby Driver,' has tragically passed away at 16 from injuries sustained in a fall from a moving vehicle.
Hudson Meek, a rising teen actor best known for his role as 'Young Baby' in the 2017 Atlanta-filmed blockbuster Baby Driver, has tragically passed away at the age of 16. Meek died on Saturday from injuries sustained after falling from a moving vehicle in his hometown of Vestavia Hills, Alabama, according to multiple sources.
The Jefferson County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that he suffered blunt force injuries in the incident, which occurred last Thursday on the 1900 block of Canyon Road. The circumstances surrounding the accident remain under investigation by the Vestavia Hills Police Department. Meek’s family shared the heartbreaking news on his Instagram account, writing, 'Our hearts are broken to share that Hudson Meek went home to be with Jesus tonight.' Hudson Meek was a graduate of Vestavia Hills High School and had a blossoming career in the entertainment industry. In Baby Driver, filmed and set in Atlanta, he portrayed the younger version of Ansel Elgort’s main character in the Edgar Wright-directed action film. His talents extended to appearances in NBC's Found, the MacGyver reboot, and voice acting roles. Alongside his brother, Tucker Meek, he also appeared in the 2014 Lifetime movie The Santa Con. Meek’s obituary highlighted his passion for acting and his love for working on set, saying, 'He absolutely loved spending time on set and having the chance to learn the names and stories of every member of the cast and crew.' Several of his projects are set to be released in 2025. Pervis Talent Agency, which represented Meek, paid tribute on Instagram: 'Hudson was an extraordinary young talent, whose dedication, passion, and promise shone brightly within our industry. Over the past 10 years, he contributed so much to the spirit of our agency, and his loss leaves a void that will be deeply felt by all of us.
