What personal challenges did Corey Feldman face in Hollywood?
I'll tell you what it's about. I mean, if we want to get deep. Let's get deep. That's why we're here. This is the first time I'm ever telling this story, so I'm sure I'm going to get hung. Did they push you out, or? Yeah, he said I was a junkie and that he didn't work with junkies. Michael Jackson tells me my song is going to be a number one hit. And by the way, Howard Stern just, you know, smashed it like a pumpkin. Now we're on the Today Show.
How did addiction impact Corey Feldman's career?
We got these big moments. You're definitely cracking the zeitgeist. Right, but am I going to get away with it? Coonies never say die. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. It's nice to see you again. Thank you. Good to see you again. Although we've only met once.
What was the significance of Corey Feldman's relationship with Michael Jackson?
Not true. Okay. Give me the second time.
No, we've met probably 10 or 12 times. What? Oh, yeah. No way. Absolutely. Swear to God.
That's impossible.
What role did public perception play in Corey Feldman's life?
Swear to God. And on heart. Okay, I can tell you the first time, which was with Manson, which, you know, I choose to try to forget. The second time... would have been, I think, also with Manson at a little dingy, I think, the Sunset Marquee?
What you probably don't remember is at different times we would come across each other just in the... Okay, in passing. In passing, and we always would talk for a minute to five minutes, but we always had these nice exchanges, and I always walked away impressed with you as a person outside of what people think or... You know, because when you're a child star and people have their opinions and stuff like that, my interactions with you have always been great. Always found you very nice, found you funny, charming, all those things. So... Yeah, I would say the same.
How does Corey Feldman define his artistic journey?
Thank you. So... Because I've had those personal interactions with you, whether they were two or 12, it doesn't matter. My vibe on you has always been very positive. Right. So when I've seen you go through different variations of public whatever, and I've had my own versions too, so I'm maybe more sympathetic or empathetic than most people are to know what that feels like when people are kind of coming at you from different angles. Mm-hmm. I always think that's not the guy I know. So that's kind of where we're sitting here today because I wouldn't mind introducing that person that I think I know a little bit. Right.
What insights does Corey Feldman share about the music industry?
Because I think that's the guy behind the other things. So that's what I want to talk about. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah.
I appreciate that. I appreciate that. And I will, since we're opening that can of words and putting it on front street, I will put that back on you and say, you know, my interactions with you have been positive as well. I never thought anything negative of you. other than you're obviously a very intelligent man, obviously an artist, very creative, but this Manson thing is kind of hung over your shoulder, unfortunately, and that's because it was- What's the old saying?
I am not my brother's keeper.
How does Corey Feldman view his past roles in film?
Yeah, okay.
Well, might as well state some biblical proportions.
But somewhere in the recesses of my memory are me, you, Marilyn Manson, and Verne Troyer. Really? I don't have that one. I don't have that one. I'm saying I might have made that one up. Oh, okay. That's possible.
Well, maybe Playboy Mansion would be the only place that could have been.
What message does Corey Feldman hope to convey through his music?
That's what I'm trying to say. That's what I'm saying.
That is possible. Okay. But that said, no, it's the fact that it was epitomized in perpetuity by being a part of his book. Oh, I see, I see. And kind of, you know, iconizing, I guess you would say, that moment in time, crystallizing in time.
Oh, yeah, yeah. By saying that, what, me and... Snorting sea monkeys or something?
I didn't get that part. Yeah. No, it was me and Sherman Hemsley meeting, because he introduced us, over your bald head was, I believe, the words that he used in his book so poetically.
Was this at the Howard Stern movie premiere? Yes, yes.
Okay. Yes.
So that's the official time that I feel like we actually spoke. Flavor Flav, you, me, Maren Manson, Sherman Hemsley. Yeah. Like, somehow we were all together at one point.
