Former child actor Todd Bridges has been shunned by his "Diff'Rent Strokes" co-star Gary Coleman in recent years - but he's refusing to take the snub personally as the diminutive star is "very mad at the world."

Bridges admits he has been concerned for his former colleague after Coleman suffered a string of health problems, most recently being hospitalized in Los Angeles following a suspected seizure.

The actor reveals he has reached out to Coleman, but his former friend didn't want to speak to him.

He tells Larry King, "Gary Coleman, you know, I really love Gary. But he is suffering from just the whole thing of physical, you know - health-wise, he's not great. And he's very mad at the world. And I understand that."

"I tried talking to him. But he doesn't want to communicate very much with us."

Gary could learn alot from Todd. I saw him on tv today. He's just frank and honest about what happened to him. He's turned his life around. I hope someday Gary can do that too.

I agree. Todd has turned his life around and uses his past experiences for good (i.e. helping troubled youth). Gary could learn a lot from his TV brother!!
