Corey Feldman on Larry King
Corey Feldman on Larry King last night, speaking about his best friend’s death.
Feldman tells of how he learned about Haim’s death, “I woke up to my door being pounded on, my bedroom door, and it was my sister’s voice and she said, ‘I need to talk to you right away, there’s an emergency.’ ”
Feldman in a black shirt and white tie, was very composed and calm during the interview.
He defended Corey Haim in death, saying that the media needs to stop allegeing a drug overdose until those facts have been confirmed.
“The first thing I need to say is people need to stop jumping the gun, they need to stop saying it’s a drug overdose . . . because at the ed of the day, until the coroner’s report comes out, until we have specific evidence, until we know exactly what the toxicology reports say, nobody knows.”
As for the outpouring of celebs and people who, since Haim’s death are saying how much they loved the actor, Feldman says this: “Where were all these people the last 10-15 years?”
This is so true. Haim was Hollywood kryptonite. Nobody wanted to touch him, or be seen with him – except Corey Feldman. I find it funny that Ashton Kutcher, every time someone dies, has something to say. This time with Haim he called him a “childhood hero,” on Twitter. It came across as being extremely fake to me..
Even though I think it’s great that Feldman remained friends with Haim through all of his drug years and through times when no one else would stand by him, I find it a bit odd that not even 24 hours after his best friend’s death he was doing televised interviews. Hmmm…
Anyhow, if you missed the Corey Feldman Larry King interview, here are some highlights:
Corey Feldman also took to his blog to write about Corey Haim’s death yesterday. He wrote:
“R.I.P. COREY IAN HAIM 1971-2009
I was awakened at 8:30 this morning by my brother and sister knocking on my bedroom door. They informed me of the loss of my brother Corey Haim. My eyes weren’t even open all the way when the tears started streaming down my face. I am so sorry for Corey, his mother Judy, his family, my family, all of our fans, and of course my son who I will have to find a way to explain this to when he gets home from school. This is a tragic loss of a wonderful,beautiful,tormented soul, who will always be my brother,family, and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference. Please respect our families as we struggle and grieve through this difficult time. I hope the art Corey has left behind will be remembered as the passion of that for which he truly lived. ~ Corey”
