I recall an interview where he was sort of trying to distance himself from his performances in 80s movies. He wasn't bad-mouthing them, he just wanted to be taken seriously as an adult. I also seem to remember him calling License to Drive a bit lame in another interview - but I could be wrong.
I don't know.
I did love some of his old movies though.
License to Drive was good.
Dream a Little Dream. Loved that one.
Lost Boys. Great movie.
But Corey just may possibly be a mental defective. I don't say this out of hate either. I like him and his work, I really do. I also read his book.
I'm rambling. LOL.
I hung out with Corey Feldman and friends a few times in 2003 or 2004. He had just gotten married to that sexy bitch from The Two Coreys. Anyway Corey Feldman was a strange guy. Always broke, never paid for anything , skipping out on tabs and limo tips, asked to borrow money and designer jackets. He was at that time a big leech. Never got the impression he and Haim was close.
I liked him as an actor in the 80s. It was a bit sad to meet and hang out with him.
Interesting.
shareHe was a troubled star that battled addictions.
From a successful child actor to an unattractive failed actor in his early adult years.
The transition was hard on him, so was the lack of solid opportunities that paid well. He achieved success early and so many before him did not manage to make the jump to adult actor. I remember he claimed to work for free during the late 90s just to be able “to stay relevant”
Its not unlikely that he was discarded due to all the sexual abuse. They didn’t want him around.
Child stars often lack proper social skills. He's always come across as weird. I suspect that's the bigger problem.
shareActors always like to move on to bigger and better things. They don’t want to talk about the same movies forever. Sadly for the 80s stars, parts got fewer and fewer when they got into the dreaded 90s.
The 90s was a bad time for most of the young actors who established themselves in the 80s. The lucky ones were still able to get decent parts, but most were forced into D-movies. It was sad, considering they actually had talent.
