WHO IS COREY FELDMAN?

Corey Feldman on Larry King
Corey Feldman had already made over 100 TV commercials and starred in over 50 TV shows before he was cast in his first major film role at age 13, the first film of 15 number ones in a row, each one grossing more than $50 million.
Corey Feldman was a star before Corey Haim, his face was on the cover of every heartthrob magazine in the 80's the girls were crazy for him.
One day Feldman noticed he was sharing magazine space with some kid also named Corey and this new Corey was also taking jobs that Feldman was certain he had in the bag.
Naturally Hollywood could see that taking these two pinup boys and teaming them in a movie would bring in the cash, what they didn't realise was that these two boys, these two teens would form a bond that would make them as thick as thieves, best friends, soul mates.
Corey Feldman has had his fair share of drug problems. After the two Corey's careers ended in the late 1980's Feldman managed to get clean and stay clean but the same could not be said of his friend Corey Haim, who was a slave to his dependency, but still Feldman's friendship and support never wavered.
“We all are aware of the fact that Corey Haim has had a long and detailed drug history and -- and battled addiction for many, many years. I know it better than anybody because I've been the guy stuffing charcoal down his throat when he was O.D.ing. I've been the guy trying to make him, you know, stand up or -- or say a complete sentence. I've been there with him through it many, many times. And it -- it's happened very badly and very intensely through the years on many occasions.
Feldman spoke of Haim's loyalty to him as well: “-- he's the only person in my life that could really make me laugh -- laugh to the point of tears. And we would just get into it. I mean, just three weeks ago -- just three weeks ago, I sat at his apartment with him and we were talking about my divorce, of all things.
And -- and he was talking about my ex-wife and I was talking about her. And we started talking about, hey, wouldn't this be a great idea to have a third season "The Two Coreys?" We can have you move back in with me and, you know, and now my wife is out and you're in and this is what everybody wanted to see, was the two of us living together in a house. And we riffed on it for probably an hour, to the point where we were both on the floor rolling around laughing.”
Corey Feldman spoke beautifully of his friend, I got the impression that Feldman is an old, kind soul, a caring understanding guy, who does not judge others but loves them for who they are. I also thought how hard this must be, he has lost Corey Haim and only last year lost good friend Michael Jackson and then he said it.
“ I went through a very hard year last year. I lost Michael. I lost my grandfather. I lost like seven people that were close to me in my life.”
All in all Corey Feldman is a very classy guy, a humanitarian, a vegetarian, who speaks the truth and it seems would give you the shirt off his back. Feldman has been able to escape his demons he has a five year old son Zen from his second marriage and is working regularly.
Now with the death of his friend, Feldman will get on with his life as the only Corey, but there is no doubt in my mind that Corey Haim will be watching him from somewhere.
I don't know a whole lot about death but I do know a bond like this is not easily broken, and Corey will always feel the presence of a friend he never gave up on. Feldman is a classic example of the type of friend we all hope for in life, a friend who will be there no matter what the circumstances, no matter if he has to abandon his own life for a while.
I wish you everything beautiful Corey, so sorry I have to write this under these circumstances, but you impressed me in a way that compels me to share it with the world. Always remember, no matter what happens, they cant take any of it away from you, its history now and history cannot be changed.
