A quick look at Hollywood’s celebrity line up will reveal plenty of personalities who started out as children. However, not as many, if any, boast the same kind of resume that Corey Feldman boasted as a 3-year-old.
Born to famous parents, as he later confessed, he never really had a childhood. He was launched very early in his career in Hollywood by the decision of his parents. He later admitted in an interview that it was neither his nor her decision.
However, he would go on to have a stellar career as a teenager, bringing us iconic ’80s films like The Goonies, Gremlins and cult classic, The Lost Boys starring Corey Haim.
Corey Feldman Facts
Corey was born and raised in Reseda, Los Angeles, California on July 16, 1971. Feldman’s parents also had a celebrity portfolio. Her father, Bob Feldman, was an artist and music producer. His mother Sheilda Feldman, in addition to acting as a cocktail waitress, was also a former Playboy Bunny. He had four siblings: two sisters and two brothers, Mindy, Eden, Devin and Brittnie.
His early acting career started when he got his first professional acting career, a McDonald’s commercial, at the age of 3. After that, her life became a hub of frenetic activity. He’s appeared in over 100 commercials and 50 TV series, including Micky and Mindy, One Day at a Time and Eight Is Enough.
He made his film debut in the 70s and had cameo appearances in films such as The Fox and the Hound and Time After Time. The 1980s were a memorable time for Corey Feldman, at the start of his career. Most memorable was in 1987 when he starred in the movie The Lost Boys with Corey Haim. After the success of this 1987 classic, they became best friends and worked on a series of films together. Feldman and Haim formed something of a duo force and began to be known as ‘The Two Coreys’. Corey’s ’80s roles also brought us movies like 1984’s Friday the 13th: The Last Chapter and 1986 ‘s Stand By Me.
However, being on screen wasn’t Corey Feldman’s only skill. He was the voice of Donatello in the 1990s live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Unfortunately, as is often the case with many teenage celebrities, Corey fell into a life of drugs and sexual abuse, according to his memoir, Coreyography. His struggle with drugs was very public and documented. As he struggled to regain control of his life and sanity and revive his increasingly menacing career, he took on small film roles and eventually took up music. His first album was called Amour est parti.
He regained his iconic celebrity status with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III and continued to make movies with his friend Corey Haim. Their last role was the 1996 comedy, Busted, where Haim was the main character. It was also Feldman’s directorial debut.
Sequels to The Lost Boys arrived in 2008 and 2010, with Corey Feldman reprising his role from both films. Haim had no role in any of these films because he was steeped in a life of drugs and his relationship with Feldman had disintegrated, as seen in the second season of their reality show, The two coreys. Corey Feldman would look to the future in many more films and release a few albums, including Still Seeking Soul, Former Child Actor, and Angelic 2: The Core . He also appeared in the reality series, The Surreal Life and Dancing on Ice,a British TV show.
Corey Feldman’s wife, son and girlfriend
Feldman, emancipated from her parents at the age of 15, married Vanessa Marcil in 1989, a marriage that lasted just four years, after divorcing in 1993. They had no children whole. Corey Feldman’s only son, her son, was born from his second marriage to Susie Sprague. They got married in 2002 and the ceremony was performed by a rabbi – due to his Jewish roots – as well as famous 90s rapper MC Hammer (an ordained minister). Susie filed for divorce in 2009, which sparked a five-year battle in which she and Corey sought custody of their son. The divorce was finalized in 2014 and two years later Corey tied the knot for the third time with longtime girlfriend Courtney Anne Mitchelle at Elton John’s Fizz champagne lounge,
Is Corey Feldman dead or Gai ?
In 2010, there were rumors that Corey Feldman died. He was eventually revealed to be a mix. He had been mistaken for his longtime friend, Corey Haim, who was the deceased. He died of natural causes at age 38, although it was initially thought to be an overdose.
Ever since Corey released his autobiography detailing himself and Corey were sexually abused as a teenager, he has been surrounded by rumors of homosexuality. Millions of people at one time or another considered him a high-class homosexual. He also spent a lot of time with Micheal Jackson as a teenage star, which fueled the rumor mill. But he has consistently denied those rumours, saying he isn’t gay and that Jackson isn’t one to sexually abuse children.
He defended Micheal during his child molestation trial in 2005, when the pop star was accused of sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy cancer survivor. In 2017, Corey decided to name the men who abused him and Haim as children, to pay tribute to his friend and expose the darkness in the industry. He had previously used a pseudonym for them in his memoir.
On November 2 and 14 of the same year, he named the two attackers on the Dr. Oz show. He named Cloyd Jon Grissom, an actor and occasional personal assistant, and Alphy Hoffman, a former talent agent and owner of a Hollywood underage club.
Corey Feldman Height, Net Worth
Corey has a structure that would put him in the category of American men below average height. He comes in at 1.65m (5ft 4in). He has brown eyes and natural brown hair.
His net worth is valued at $2 million. For someone whose career has spanned over 60 movies, TV shows, and a few albums, he should be worth a lot more. His immersion period has something to do with it.
