“A recent interview with Elijah Wood has reignited the conversation on pedophilia in the entertainment business.
The Lord of the Rings star later clarified first to
The Hollywood Reporter and then on his personal
Twitter account that his comments about “something major … going on in Hollywood” were based not on his own experiences and observations but rather on news reports and the
2015 documentary film
An Open Secret.
But another former child actor - Corey Feldman, star of such iconic
1980s movies as
The Goonies,
Stand By Me and
The Lost Boys - was not so lucky. In past interviews, his
A&E; reality series
The Two Coreys and his
2013 memoir, Coreyography, Feldman has detailed how he was preyed upon by men in the industry. His own experiences were not as nightmarish as what befell his Two Coreys costar, the late
Canadian actor
Corey Haim.
Haim was just 11 when, Feldman says, a man raped him on a movie set. (Haim died in
2010 at age 38 after years of drug addiction.)
Speaking now exclusively to The Hollywood Reporter, Feldman opens up about missing Haim, addresses the “dark side” of pal
Michael Jackson that led to their estrangement, and warns of the “growing, not shrinking” dangers of internet-era child predators in Hollywood, a place “where adults have more direct and inappropriate connection with children than probably anywhere else in the world.”
