When was corey feldman born

And that's exactly what he did. I could go on and on about it, but the bottom line is that I was a huge fan of Dennis Miller's when I took that project on, I was very excited about the opportunity to work with him, and it was really my first lesson in learning that it's sometimes best to leave people on the screen. When you get to meet them and get to know them and find out who they really are, it's very disheartening.

Dennis Miller was definitely my slap in the face to that cold, hard reality. The other thing was that when he went out there to promote the film, he didn't even do good by the promotion. He literally went on the late-night talk shows and said, "Don't go see this film, because it sucks! But the movie itself I actually really enjoyed.

There were a lot of great actors, which definitely gave it the support that Dennis was lacking. And the film overall, the writing, the direction Gilbert Adler did a great job directing it. I thought it was very funny. I love the Tales From The Crypt franchise because, again, it's the comedy-horror thing which I think works so well. I really enjoyed doing the episodic version, the television series.

And I think I would've had a lot more fun doing that film if anybody else was playing the lead role. Dick is like a father to me. Originally they wanted me to play one of the poker players at the table, but I don't know, it was apparently something to do with Mel Gibson.

He didn't think I had the right look for that part. So Dick wanted to still throw me in there, even though Mel apparently didn't agree, so whatever. Mel didn't really want me for the role that Dick wanted me for, and Mel wasn't, like, directing it or anything - I'm not even sure if he was a producer or anything on it - but I do know that they gave him an incredible amount of power, and he made me come in and audition for it, and then he didn't give me the job.

Oh, well, turnabout is fair play. Karma and all that. That's why you noticed the, uh, extreme difference in what you were watching. Because when I agreed to do that movie, I agreed to do a movie called Happy Campers, which was kind of a romantic comedy, but it was a comedy-drama as well.

A regular comedy but with some hard-hitting, serious moments. It would've actually been a pretty good movie on its own merits.

But unbeknownst to us on the set, as we were in the process of making the film, the producers decided to go out and make a deal with HBO to run it as a first-run feature, and they said that the only way that they would want to do that was if it was a franchise movie.

So they said, "Well, what kind of franchises do you have available? We can call it a Meatballs movie! As I'm sure you would be aware from looking over my career, a third sequel to a movie that I was never involved with originally is not really something that I would jump into.

So I never signed up to do Meatballs 4, nor would I have signed up to do Meatballs 4. I was completely swindled on that one I was just fresh out of rehab, which is part of the reason I got swindled on it.

It was also because I didn't have all my business savvy yet. I was still a kid, and I was still trying to figure out how to be a man in the business world and be responsible and take care of my own business, vs. But being newly sober, it was very frustrating to try and assimilate what exactly was expected of me as a sober individual on a movie set. It was a new experience. At some point during the filming of Lucas , Corey Haim explained an adult male convinced him it was perfectly normal for older men and younger boys in the business to have sexual relations, that it was 'what all guys do.

So they walked off to a secluded area between two trailers during a lunch break for the cast and crew, and Corey Haim, innocent and ambitious as he was, allowed himself to be sodomized. They informed me of the loss of my brother, Corey Haim.

Haim's attempt to return to television in the mismatched-roommate series Roomies , alongside Burt Young, lasted all of eight episodes in A hit with fans and critics, the film launched Haim into the realm of teen heartthrob, along with his new friend Feldman, with whom he would go on to star in seven separate features.

In , Haim joined Feldman for the teen comedy License to Drive, before starring the horror film Watchers. That same year, in response to speculations about his heavy drug use, Haim released a video documentary about his life entitled Corey Haim: Me, Myself, and I. The film portrayed a squeaky-clean Haim engaging in wholesome, family-friendly activities and speculating about his future aspirations.

Haim continued to star in films like Prayer of the Rollerboys and Dream Machine , but his fame waned as the decade progressed, and, after another spell in rehab, he was placed on prescription drugs. This led to a more serious addiction to Valium—Haim later said he was taking upwards of 85 pills per day—and a serious weight gain. The actor claimed he weighed nearly pounds at one point, and reportedly also suffered a stroke.

Debuting in , the reality show featured the longtime friends and co-stars discussing their problems and checkered pasts with a therapist, and attempting to revive their shattered friendship.

The Two Coreys aired for 19 episodes before its cancellation in On March 10, , Haim was found unresponsive in an Oakwood, California, apartment. The focus is placed on the effect, not the cause. We are going to have to learn how to make room for imperfect victims, and to understand that the key to their stories lies in their imperfections. Few are more imperfect than Feldman. It was easy to believe the accusations against Weinstein when they were coming from such impeccable sources as Ashley Judd and Angelina Jolie.

Things are a little more complicated when abuse allegations are coming from a former child star who does wacky things on TV. Really, you need only to look at Feldman and Haim to know that something, somewhere, went extremely wrong. But that requires you to look at them and not turn queasily away. Meanwhile, Feldman is desperately trying to find a way to release his self-funded documentary about the abuse he suffered. There really are no guaranteed paths in life. He mentions another recent article that cast doubt on his credibility.

Why would they do that? He sounds like a child who, once again, has been let down by the adults around him. Hadley Freeman. It must drive you crazy with frustration, I say.
