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. 'Pretty wild.' ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection When asked if he thinks he will be reprising his role as Clark 'Mouth' Devereaux in the sequel, he said, 'I think that's the way it's moving. I can't tell you.' Mentioning how the original cast are excited about the possibility, he said, 'We would all love to see it happen and we would love to be a part of it. 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. 'I can't imagine Steven Spielberg doing it wrong. As long as he's involved, I know it's going to be magical. But that said, we're reserving, you know, any other opinion until we see a script.' 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.'

We hit 72 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We've reached 72 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 72 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction. No. 72 Who's wearing it now: T Gottlieb Ayedze Ayedze is a first-year player out of Maryland. He was originally signed by the Philadelphia Eagles last year as an undrafted free agent. He didn't make the roster out of camp and the Raiders signed him to the practice squad. They brought him back on a reserve future contract following the season. Who wore it best: TIE C Don Mosebar, RT Lincoln Kennedy I have looked at this as many ways as I can and keep coming back to the same conclusion. I simply can't choose one over the other. Both were great players at their respective positions for a long time and both deserve recognition. Mosebar spent his entire 12-year career in Silver & Black, becoming the third great center in franchise history after Jim Otto and Dave Dalby. He got his ring as a rookie sitting behind Dalby and then took the baton and locked down the center position for a decade, making three Pro Bowls along the way. Kennedy came to the Raiders after the Falcons had given up on the former ninth overall pick. He immediately became the Raiders' starting right tackle and never let go. For the next eight years, he was there. This included the entirety of the franchise's last successful era of the early 2000s in which he went to the Pro Bowl three straight times, was an All Pro first teamer once and the All Pro second team once as well. Honorable Mention: DE John Matuszak When Tooz is third in line, you know the 72 is quite the legendary number for the Raiders. The Tooz spent six seasons with the Raiders, helping the team win their first two Super Bowls. He also had quite a successful acting career including the iconic role of Sloth in Goonies.

Iconic 80s movie star looks unrecognizable 40 years after hit movie
The former child actor now has a very different job CHUNK TO HUNK Iconic 80s movie star looks unrecognizable as he steps out in LA 40 years after smash hit movie – do you recognise him? ICONIC 80s movie star Jeff Cohen looked totally unrecognizable this week as he stepped out in Los Angeles. Best known for playing Chunk, the beloved truffle-shuffler from the 1985 Spielberg-produced hit, The Goonies, Cohen looked world's away from his onscreen persona.

Dressed in a suit jacket, jeans, and a maroon fedora, Jeff was a far cry from the ice cream-obsessed, Hawaii-shirt-wearing-mischief-maker he played as a kid. Before leaving acting behind, Cohen appeared in hit TV shows like Family Ties, The Facts of Life, and Webster, but he says it was puberty that ended his Hollywood dream. "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," Jeff once shared. Advertisement Read more in Celebrity SO FINE! '80s singer known for hit song looks completely different in rare LA outing "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." He added: "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." Cohen, who studied at UC Berkeley and later went to UCLA School of Law, co-founded Cohen Gardner LLP in 2002. Despite his fame as a child, he says clients have no problem taking him seriously. Advertisement "My clients get a kick out of the fact their lawyer is Chunk. They dig it," he said. "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." Cohen's memories of making The Goonies remain vivid. "It was great," he recalled. "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." Advertisement He 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. The Goonies Andy actress Kerri Green is unrecognisable 37 years after the movie "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." Recalling one particular moment with Donner, Jeff said: "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. Advertisement "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." Earlier this year, Jeff reunited with his co-stars to celebrate fellow Goonie Ke Huy Quan, who played Data, as he was honored at the TCL Chinese Theater. Cohen, along with Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Kerri Green, and screenwriter Chris Columbus turned out to support Quan, who won an Oscar last year for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Jeff, now Ke Huy Quan's entertainment lawyer, gave his friend a proud bear hug as the group relived their childhood memories on the red carpet.
