Corey Feldman says God has been his protector throughout trauma and 'darkness' of Hollywood career
Corey Feldman says that his faith in God has protected him and has helped him maintain a "positive attitude" towards his life and career, despite claiming to have seen the darker and seedier side of the entertainment world. Feldman, who starred in beloved '80s classics like "The Goonies," "Stand By Me," and "The 'Burbs," spoke to Fox News Digital about how his faith has given him the strength to endure during his 50-year career in Hollywood. In that time, he experienced some of the industry's nastier sides. "You know what I've learned is that God is good. God is my protector, God keeps me strong," Feldman told Fox News Digital. The actor and musician recently marked the 50th anniversary of his time in entertainment, a time he said he looks back on both with gratitude and positivity, while also acknowledging the trauma and abuse he says he and his famous friends suffered at the hands of predatory people. A longtime whistleblower on sexual abuse in Hollywood, his 2013 book "Coreyography" detailed rampant child sexual abuse that happened to him and others during his career. It recounted how he was thrust into a harsh business without strong family support. According to Feldman, he had a depressed, drug-addicted Playboy model mom, and a musician father who routinely encouraged his young son to get high with him. Feldman has often recounted how he got sucked into drug addiction for two years while he was a teen actor and has claimed that he and his childhood friend and fellow actor, the late Corey Haim, were molested by powerful men in the industry. In the years since, Feldman has championed industry change so that child actors are protected from similar abuse. WATCH ON FOX NATION: WHAT DIDDY DO? When asked if he believes Hollywood still retains that undercurrent of darkness that he says he was victimized by decades earlier, he replied, "Absolutely." He said, "Wherever there's power, there's corruption. We know this, right? Wherever there is power, there's corruption, and wherever there's corruption, there is darkness. Wherever there is darkness, there was light. So, it's always about being aware of what's going on, trying our best to be aware and trying to put out those fires as we see them." Feldman only briefly touched on his Hollywood troubles while speaking with Fox. "You know, obviously, yes, I've said some things about Hollywood because some bad things did happen to me, did happen to my best friend in Hollywood. But that said, there are also a lot of beautiful people in Hollywood that know nothing of it." The actor noted how much heat he has taken – and still takes – for having come forward with his allegations of child abuse in the industry. "That's what makes secret societies secret societies, right? They hide in the shadows, and then they gaslight people who try to expose them. So that's what happened to me. I've dealt with tons of blowback because I came forward – tons of abuse." Though Feldman said that he can "always" feel the pressure of these negative forces trying to derail him, he mentioned how he has learned that God will protect him through it all. "So as long as you have faith in that, and you keep bringing your best foot forward, and a smile on your face, and a positive attitude, I believe we can get past all of those things. And I believe that good always wins over evil and that's just the way it is." Elsewhere, he told Fox that despite his suffering and dark past, his life "is good" today. "As a producer, I feel quite satisfied. As an artist, I feel pretty satisfied. I have a girlfriend who's lovely. I have a child who's doing great. He's 20 years old and fully grown. I think I've made a pretty decent life for myself, and I plan on continuing that," he said. "My life is good. I'm grateful to God for giving me this opportunity to breathe today and have a chance to make our lives better each day. And I think we should all remain grateful and remember to be grateful to God because that, I think, is the key to happiness above all other things."

‘80s star talks ‘Goonies' sequel, career, and AI threatening Hollywood ‘magic'
'The Goonies' star Corey Feldman is concerned that the rise of artificial intelligence could ruin the 'magic' of Hollywood filmmaking. In a new interview with Fox News Digital, the entertainer talked about his decades of being part of the film industry and what he thinks of it today compared to how it was when he was starring in beloved 80s classics like 'Goonies,' 'The Lost Boys' and 'The Burbs.' When asked if he believes modern Hollywood can still conjure up the same 'magic' that led to the creation of these iconic films, he said he wasn't so sure. 'Well, I share the opinion that there is a lot of the magic that's been lost because of A.I., because of CGI, because of, you know, these things kind of taking over from the good stories, the great characters that we draw, the great writing,' Feldman said. The actor, who recently marked 50 years in the entertainment industry, said how important it is for people in Hollywood not to let technology get in the way of elements that make good, meaningful art. 6 'The Goonies' star Corey Feldman spoke about his concerns on how the rise of artificial intelligence could ruin the 'magic' of Hollywood filmmaking. FOX News 'And I think that it's so important that we treasure those things, because we're coming into a time where A.I. is scheduled to take over all the creative ideas from people's minds right now,' he said. 'People rely on it for songwriting, they rely on it for music, they rely on it for special effects, they rely on it for story writing. I mean all sorts of things.' 'They'll eventually probably try to replace us actors with A.I. people,' he predicted. 'I don't think it will be long before all of that is tried.' However, the 'Stand By Me' star said he believes that an industry that's so integrated with A.I. technology will fail to resonate with audiences. 6 'They'll eventually probably try to replace us actors with A.I. people,' Feldman said. 'I don't think it will be long before all of that is tried.' Getty Images He added, 'But will it survive? Will it win? Will it have the same magic? No, it never can, because it's called the human experience and if we don't bring the human experience to the table, why would other humans relate with the project?' Feldman's decades in entertainment began with him starring in commercials as a small child. The actor, who is also focused on his music career – including launching a world tour later this year – said his musical talent is what jump-started his acting career. 'As a child, you know, I used to have to go on auditions, and you know, when you're three-and-a-half, four years old, you can't read, you can't read a script, you can't memorize, you know, it's impossible. So, the way my mom thought to get around that was to actually train me how to sing,' he said. 6 Feldman's entertainment career began with him starring in commercials as a small child, and now pursuing music. ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection 'So I'd go on a commercial audition, I'd go, and I'd sing to them, and they'd go, 'Oh, that kid's so cute because he can sing.' And then I'd get the part. And that led to my first TV appearance,' he continued. Feldman's music career has come full circle, with his new single, 'Characters,' released on June 22. He explained the psychedelic-sounding track is 'actually both a tribute to The Beatles and a celebration of my 50th year in entertainment.' He said, 'It talks about really the many characters that I've played through the years. Obviously I've played a lot of memorable characters that people hold dear and near in their hearts, and you know, I always want to acknowledge the fans in some way, and I thought, what better way than to give back to the fans by creating a song that represents those characters?' When asked what he thinks about Hollywood today compared to how it was when he started half a century ago, he said it depends on your perspective. 'Yeah, I think there's pros and cons. I mean, look, you can say 'the good old days.' And yes, they were, I mean let's face it, the eighties were easier, the eighties were simpler, you know? People played outside together and rode their bikes and went on adventures. And it was just a beautiful magical time. But, of course, that's because I was a child then.' The actor added, 'I think it's every generation that feels that way. I think that's just progress and I think that's the schedule of time. We all age, we all get older, but we also look back fondly at our earlier memories. I mean, let's face it, my life was a nightmare. I had a very abusive childhood. I had predators all around me. I had all that stuff I was dealing with, both female and male. So yeah, for me, it was a very difficult time. And, and personally speaking, today is a much better day.' 6 Jeff Cohen, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman and Jonathan Ke Quan in 'The Goonies.' ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection During the interview, Feldman also weighed in on news that 'The Goonies' would be getting a sequel with Steven Spielberg producing. Variety reported in February that Warner Bros. hired Potsy Ponciroli to write the script for the sequel. Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, Holly Bario, and Chris Columbus – who wrote the original film's script – will produce for Amblin Entertainment. Feldman remarked, 'And the big question is, we don't know what the script is, when it will be done, when it will ready, who's included, who's involved. Nobody's gotten the script, nobody has gotten an offer, so that's all we know for now. This is the 40th anniversary, though, of that film, so it's pretty ironic that this year is both the 40th anniversary of 'Goonies' and the 50th anniversary of my career. Pretty wild.' 6 It was reported that 'The Goonies' would be getting a sequel. ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection 6 'It's pretty ironic that this year is both the 40th anniversary of 'Goonies' and the 50th anniversary of my career,' Feldman said.

But at the same time, we don't want to do it if it's not right.' Feldman noted they're pretty hopeful about the movie being a winner, especially with Spielberg on board.

The actor shared some insight as to why the long-awaited sequel got the green light, saying he heard it might have been a response to the box office success of 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,' which saw the return of its original stars Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder. Feldman said, 'Chris Columbus did say to me that he felt the reason why this was happening now, finally, after 40 years as opposed to any other time in history, was based really on the success of 'Beetlejuice' for Warner Brothers, because they had such a success with that chemistry, which of course was bringing the original cast back.'

The cast of The Goonies marked the movie's 40th anniversary on June 7 on social media Corey Feldman, Sean Astin and Ke Huy Quan were among the stars who took a moment to reflect on the major milestone Feldman documented his nostalgic visit to Astoria, Oregon, where the 1985 movie was filmedThe Goonies turns 40! To mark the 1985 movie's 40th anniversary on Saturday, June 7, several actors from the cast shared social media tributes. Ke Huy Quan, who played Data, shared a clip on his Instagram Stories in which Sean Astin's character Mikey gives his inspiring "Goonies never say die" speech to the group of friends. He wrote over it, "Happy 40th my fellow Goonies! Thinking of you today." Astin, meanwhile, posted a collage of photos from the movie's set on his Instagram Stories with the message, "NEVER SAY DIE." He also shared the same movie clip as Quan, 53, and wrote over it: "40 Years Ago. Love You Goonies." Corey Feldman celebrated the milestone by making a nostalgic visit to Astoria, Oregon — where the movie was filmed — with his girlfriend, Adrien Skye.

EXCLUSIVE Iconic star of The Goonies steps out on rare outing ahead of 40th anniversary of the film
The Goonies fans got a surprise this week when one of the film's most beloved stars stepped out in Beverly Hills—just in time for the 40th anniversary of the iconic adventure. Now 50 and working as an entertainment lawyer, former actor Jeff Cohen rose to fame playing the clumsy but lovable Chunk in the 1985 cult classic produced by Steven Spielberg and co-starring Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, and Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan. Sporting a sharp suit jacket, stylish jeans, and a maroon fedora, the 80s icon looked worlds away from the disheveled, ice cream-obsessed teen who once stole scenes hunting pirate treasure. His fit figure was also a far cry from his younger self—best remembered for the unforgettable Truffle Shuffle, a belly-jiggling dance that became a pop culture staple. After The Goonies, he appeared on Family Ties and had a stint on Amazing Stories before stepping away from acting. In 2015, Jeff revealed how losing his puppy fat was the end of his acting career. The lawyer was forced to quit Hollywood for good when he could no longer put himself forward for the 'fat kid roles.' 'There were basically about four fat kids in town, so every time there was a fat kid role you saw the same people at the audition,' he said. 'It was survival of the fattest. But when I hit puberty, it was a career ender for me. I was transforming from Chunk to hunk and I couldn't get roles any more.' Jeff continued: 'It was terrible. My first love was acting but puberty had other ideas. It was a forced retirement. I didn't give up acting. Acting gave me up.' Nowadays, Jeff is a partner at the law firm he co-founded in 2002, Cohen Gardner LLP. Now 50 and working as an entertainment lawyer, the former actor rose to fame playing the clumsy but lovable Chunk in the 1985 cult classic produced by Steven Spielberg and co-starring Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin , and Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan Asked whether he ever worried that his child star past would make potential clients take him less seriously, he said: 'My clients get a kick out of the fact their lawyer is Chunk. They dig it. With my job, I'm dealing with legitimately famous people, so it's just silly and fun. I'm usually only the fifth most famous person in the room at any one time.' Describing himself as 'goofy, chubby and something of a clown,' the LA native had small parts in US television shows like Webster, The Facts of Life, and Family Ties before landing the role of Chunk in The Goonies when he was just 10. 'It was great,' Cohen - born McMahon - said. 'For me, the best part about it was Richard Donner the director. He was big on letting the kids be kids and I think that's one of the reasons the movie stands up today.' The UC Berkeley grad continued: 'People still watch the movie themselves or watch it with their own kids. Even though it's very eighties in the fashions it's still kids being kids. Richard Donner wanted us to improvise, talk over each other, push and shove and kind of do our thing. 'I think that's one of the reasons people like it. It doesn't seem like kids acting. It's just kids being themselves, which Richard really encouraged. He wanted us to be comfortable.' The late filmmaker encouraged his young cast to improvise. 'He would throw little surprises at us during shooting because he wanted to get our real reactions,' Jeff recalled. 'In the scene where Sloth picks me up while I'm strapped to a chair, I was told he wasn't going to pick me up because John Matuszak's back hurt. But of course John was so strong it was nothing to him, so he just picked me up and kissed me. My shock and horror was real. I wasn't that good an actor – that was actual terror on my face.' In February, the Goonies gang proved that their bond remains as unbreakable as ever, gathering at the TLC Chinese Theater to celebrate Ke Huy Quan—who brought the hilarious Data to life in Richard Donner's iconic adventure. Brolin (Brand), Feldman (Mouth), Cohen (Chunk), Kerri Green (Andy), and screenwriter Chris Columbus hit the red carpet in high spirits, soaking up the chance to share laughs and snap nostalgic pics with Quan. The camaraderie was undeniable, with each cast member wrapping Quan in warm hugs, and Cohen—now his entertainment lawyer—delivering an especially proud bear hug. Though Sean Astin (Mikey) couldn't be there in person, he's already reunited with Quan on-screen, appearing in his latest film Love Hurts—proof that the Goonies spirit is as strong as ever in Hollywood. The ceremony itself honored Quan for his incredible career, which began at just 12 years old in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and most recently culminated in his Oscar win for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Everything Everywhere All at Once. As the reunion sparked even more Goonies nostalgia, fans couldn't help but wonder: Could there ever be another adventure for the gang? Every few months, whispers of a sequel surface, only to be quickly shut down by the original cast—most recently, in September. A report claimed that The Goonies 2 would be filmed next summer with many of the original cast returning, but actors such as Feldman and Martha Plimpton shut down the report. 'People, there is no 'Goonies 2' script, there is no one "attached,"' Plimpton wrote on Instagram. '[Steven] Spielberg is not directing, it's not real.' she added. Feldman said at the time that he had 'no information' whatsoever that a sequel was in development. The last time the Goonies sequel buzz truly gained traction was back in 2014, when Variety reported that director Donner was attempting to reunite the original cast for The Goonies 2. At the time, Astin was incredibly optimistic, declaring, 'The Goonies 2 will happen,' and adding, 'I'm 1,000% certain there will be a sequel. I will bet my children on it.' Sadly, Donner passed away in 2021 at the age of 91, and with him went any hope of that reunion becoming a reality. As for Cohen, in 2015, he revealed how losing his puppy fat was the end of his acting career. The former child star - who is now a successful entertainment lawyer - was forced to quit Hollywood for good when he could no longer put himself forward for the 'fat kid roles.' 'There were basically about four fat kids in town, so every time there was a fat kid role you saw the same people at the audition,' the 40-year-old attorney said. 'It was survival of the fattest. But when I hit puberty, it was a career ender for me. I was transforming from Chunk to hunk and I couldn't get roles any more.' Jeff continued: 'It was terrible. My first love was acting but puberty had other ideas. It was a forced retirement. I didn't give up acting. Acting gave me up.' Astin would go on to star in Rudy in 1993 and played the great hobbit Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 2001 to 2003. The actor also starred in the second season of Stranger Things and made a brief appearance in the third episode in the first season. Josh' most recent success is in the Academy Award-winning adaptation of Dune (2021) and in Dune: Part Two (2024), starring as Gurney Halleck Before his role as Mouth, Corey already inched his way into Hollywood as a child star and appeared in Stand by Me (1986) and The Lost Boys (1987) The Goonies catapulted Brolin into Hollywood and after his stint in the classic film he went on to star in No Country for Old Men in 2007. He was nominated for an Oscar for Milk in 2008, starred in Inherent Vice in 2015 and Hail, Caesar! in 2016. A few years later, Josh turned his attention to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and starred as the warlord Thanos in the Avengers film series. Josh' most recent success is in the Academy Award-winning adaptation of Dune (2021) and in Dune: Part Two (2024), starring as Gurney Halleck. Before his role as Mouth, Corey already inched his way into Hollywood as a child star and appeared in Stand by Me (1986) and The Lost Boys (1987). Reflecting on his time on The Goonies, Corey said at the 2013 reunion: 'It was like we had the coolest set on the lot. 'Harrison Ford came and walked the caves with us. We felt like we were in Indiana Jones.' Corey released a documentary in 2020 about the sexual abuse he endured as a child actor in the 1980s. The 53-year-old has proven to be quite the Hollywood darling following his role in Everything Everywhere All At Once She has since gone on to appear in an array of films and movies including Raising Hope and Parenthood Martha was 15 when she appeared in the 1985 classic The Goonies. She has since gone on to appear in an array of films and movies including Raising Hope and Parenthood. Plimpton grew up engulfed in showbiz. Her grandfather was John Carradine and both her parents (Keith Carradine and Shelley Plimpton) are actors. She is also on the board of directors of A is For, a charity which seeks to advance 'women's reproductive rights and end the stigma on abortion care'. Kerri, 57, was 17-years-old when she played cheerleader Andy and now runs a production company. In the 1980s, Kerri appeared in Summer Rental (1985), Lucas (1986), and Three for the Road (1987). She also appeared on TV shows including In the Heat of the Night, ER, Mad About You, and Law & Order: SVU. Before she started running her own production company, the last film she was in was 2012's Complacent. The beloved Goonies centers on a group of kids who stumble upon a long-lost treasure map and embark on a daring quest to find the fortune of the notorious pirate One-Eyed Willy—only to be chased by a family of criminals intent on stealing the treasure for themselves. Produced by Spielberg, the film became an instant classic and remains a staple of 80s cinema. The Goonies may never die, but it seems that, for now, the treasure hunt will remain a part of the past.
