He needs Tarantino to give him a wild role to awaken his worth.
Yes! Nailed it
Tarantino has retired, apparently
It will awaken his inner junkie
@@Saturnia2014 so we won't get a Kill Kiddo? 😢
Yeah I can imagine him & pls Edward Norton, he was bitching Tarantino never called him 😭😭😭 so it would be a cool reunion for the 2
Out of all of the adult actors that have played John Connor, this guy blew everyone out of the water as a kid, effortless talent. I hope he knows that.
He felt like the perfect kid to add to a perfect movie
He'll be back
❗ @Bradzerocool ❗ I ❗ CANNOT ❗ WAIT ❗
Its not even close. He destroyed them all
Seriously, when I watched this movie I was about his age and I thought he was the most bad ass kid ever
This guy needs a come back story... that would be epic
He's too ugly for that.
Agreed
Take a hike bozo!
Yeah. But it seems like he simply can't. He hasn't improved at all in any way. I mean, I hope he comes back better than ever, but it just seems impossible now.
@@slavoljub.mircetic Well he's actually been clean for over 4 years now. But he could probably stand to lose some weight
People forget how much of a good actor he is. American History X still stands up. Norton got all the praise, but Eddy nailed his role.
Best film ever. Apart from the prison shower scenes.
Pet cemetery 2.
Jus watched it again a few weeks ago
@@Heimbach1966 naw dog
Thats because Edward Norton deserved all the praise .. .
Edward seems like a kind soul. He deserves a comeback story
I support this 😊
He's got to get himself back in shape. He looks like any random guy you would find at Walmart. No one is going to the movies to see that.
I can tell Edward Furlong grew up in my generation just from how candidly he speaks. I'm glad he's still around.
Edward Furlong as John Conner was epic for me as a kid. He made me want to fight cyborgs and robots when I grew up.
Duude for real… and you could be mine.. is my fkn song❤
so sad to see him decline and look like this, he was the coolest kid in the 90's, this is the destruction drug addiction causes!
T2 was my childhood. Watched that movie probably 100 times as a kid.
@@saulgoodman7858 yea good times
@@Adlata It is , but it's perspective.🙏
He is still with us after his addiction and positive , alive . He's fought a real life hardcore battle behind the scenes in his 20s & 30s and survived ..
Be proud , even the strong fall.
Absolute legend ! Keep going Ed you got this brother 🙏😊👊🤟
I feel sad for him. At least he's very human, very open. And after all, he did an extraordinary work on T2. Forever granted a place in our collective memories, he did his part of history. He is great!
Sobering = humility
@@brandennfinch takes a lot of courage to get sober cuz you are literally destroying your world and everything you’ve know and starting all over and creating this new world. That’s ducking hard and scary but rewarding and worth it
Hero in my eyes
totally agree!!!!
Eddy furlong is awesome
Watching T2 countless time and never get bored because of Eddie. I'm greatly amazed how great and brilliant he was in T2. No actor has ever played John Connor better than him.
He could not act, and he was too old for the part.
Facts
@@JamesRichards-mj9kw so you like younger boys? Got it. Better watch out for the FBI though.
If this dude plays his cards right, stays sober, gets in shape and lands the right role he could make a comeback of some kind.
he will never ever make a comeback no matter what . people will be saying the same shit forever even when he's in his 50's and older
It would have happened by now. Shame as he was an extraordinary actor.
I agree , I remember him in CSI , he needs that fire back , if he can get into shape and land some good roles he can do it .
I know, it's so easy! If I just take some singing lessons, get 6-pack abs real quick, find an agent, and build a fanbase I could totally be the next Adam Levine. I love quarterbacking from my La-Z Boy.
@@TigerGreene Would you want to be Adam Levine though? Guys pretty unlikable
Most of us miss our childhoods but when you are an ex-child actor that feeling must be multiplied 1000 times...
he was great in death stranding lol
Also doesn't help he lives off of royalties. Has no motivation to change.
@@BOOGiNS huh? Weird comment
I agree. He had no childhood at all.
Good point. He never gets to leave that time he was in T2
I saw and spoke to Edward on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles around two years ago. He was amazing and gracious and a wonderful person. A real human being. Would love to see him in more roles. His comeback alone would put people in the seats.
That’s cool, man. I met Schwarzenegger at Venice beach back in 2003. Edward Furlong would make my life complete.
Terminator 2 reunion plz
No they wouldnt. Id bet no one could give a shit about this weirdo
Mr. Furlong needs to make a comeback. He's actually a really good actor. It's not like he forgot how to do it.
He is a natural
Yes, I think if he hits the gym and stays sober he could come back easy.
It doesn't appear that he has ever done it to begin with.
he was good in this film with Liam Neeson .
@@NateIsCorrupt If I just take some acting lessons and get a facelift real quick I could be a world famous actor. Isn't life easy?
I'm sure Eddie knows just how much the fans love him. Every kid on the planet lived vicariously through John Connor when watching T2. He also had plenty of good roles throughout the 90s as well. Sad to see he's gone through such rough times. I wish him well.
I'm almost his age, in 1991, I had to have his haircut from T2. Every boy wanted it.
Pecker was great
You must be extremely lonely and reclusive kid. Get help.
Superb in Before And After as well, he played a great role in it with Liam Neeson's and Merly Streep.
Damn! He looks like crap! I'm about to be 51 and look better than he does. What other stuff besides T2 has he done? Oh yeah, I remember American History X
Whenever "The Simpsons" has Bart in the future... I think of Edward Furlong.
Yeah he’s fat and looks hung over 😂 Edward could play a Older Bart in a live action movie for sure dude
like... the chapter when he is demolishing buildings
He crushed it in American History X
Brilliant!
Powerful movie.
His CSI prison break scene
Yes I agree. !!!! Terminator 2 not so much for me but American history X was the shit !!! He did an awesome job.
@Louis Aguilar well Norton did anyways 🤣
I sincerely hope he stays clean and sober, I'd love to see this guy make a comeback in the indie film scene.
Him and Caulkin together would be great.
@@urcookin Yeah, home alone 5, and they're the bad guys. They looks phucked up enough for the part.
If he could do something with the eye bags and the barrel belly that would go along way for sure.
@@urcookin it's totally gotta be Culkin VS. Furlong in some capacity.
Furlong goes after convicted child phucker (mccauly). Beats his brains out at the climax. (No pun intended)
This dude was on his way towards having a remarkable career! He could have been the cool, dark counterpoint to Leonardo DiCaprio. T2, Brainscan, American History X, Pecker, Animal Farm, etc.
If he got in better shape, got an agent, and started rebuilding with smaller roles, I believe he could make a comeback!
What's really weird is that in 2019, he was looking buff as hell and in really decent shape. Apparently, he was of the belief he'd be getting a larger role in Terminator: Dark Fate, and I think him getting reduced to face capture probably upset him a bit, because he disappeared for a bit again, and now he's back to looking like he did before the Dark Fate announcement.
Terminator 2 definitely holds up for being 30 years old. As Edward's first movie role, he definitely killed it. Kudos.
Is T2 30 years old??? 😮😮😮
@@szili76it’s 32 years old.
July 1 it will be 33 years old..
It's the best movie of all time. Imo
Eddie seems like such a down to earth guy and he's hilarious. I hope he gets his comeback
Agreed man, he’s great
True. He played one of the most iconic movie characters of all time in one the the biggest blockbuster hits of the 90's. He's had the biggest ups and the lowest downs and he still seems like a normal, level headed, happy, funny guy. I'd like to see him get in shape and make a comeback.
It’s like the curse of the childhood actors ,they get older and many times their careers end ,tragic
Eddie Furlong will always be THE John Connor. He and Arnold were always my favorite iterations and depictions in the entire series.
Agree yes
He was also amazing in American History X.
An Edward Furlong comeback is much needed
They need to make Terminator 4 that follows the story line of 1,2, and 3. He would be perfect in it as a grown adult.
He will forever be enshrined as being a major character in one of the best movies of all time. That alone is something to be extremely proud of.
First time I saw T2 I was 7 years old in 1999. My dad rented it for me and still to this day T2 and The Matrix are my top favorite films.
Matrix, T2 and The Raid my top 3 action movies of all time
Can't wait to see Edward Furlong have his revival moment. He certainly deserves it. Still rooting for him, all these years later.
What a down to 🌎 guy. The most popular kid of the 90s. T2 is timeless.
Macaulay was the most popular. But he was the second and greatest.
I feel like in terms of mainstream popularity, Johnathan Taylor Thomas was at least more popular than Edward Furlong in the ‘90s. That kid was in everything back then. He was even the voice of young Simba in The Lion King.
Nobody in Hollywood is more genuine and honest then this awesome guy. It doesn't get more genuine then Edward he's the real fucking deal. How I wish you could kickass restart your career amigo. Nobody nobody nobody can hold candle to Edward such an amazing soul. I pray 🙏 for you keep moving forward Edward!
Edward, if you're watching. thank you for having absolutely no pretense, someone we can admire on the human level. Which is anathema to what Hollywood basically is.
Honestly, he's not watching this shitty channel like ever.
@@orandachildren1051 I'm sure but whatever.
Hater
I'll always root for Ed. Really hope we can see him get a big role in something cool in the future.
He looks awful. He needs to lose some weight & get off the drugz
@@MoveitorLoseit2 I think he's off the drugs
He should star in a movie called “incel” or make into some dark af tv series on Netflix so he can bless us with his stage magic 🪄
Cinnamon roll
@@whitenuttergoku7310 incel: 40 year old virgin 2. Blue ball edition.
Imagine if he got fully clean, got ripped, and did some serious movies. Most actors won't have the crazy background he has to draw on. If he really want to he could do it in 15-18 months.
He seems like such a cool stand-up guy! Just sad how his career went and his addiction problems. I'm glad he's doing better and will always root for him!
na he's washed up and finished , the only roles he'll get now is straight to VHS

@@AC-LING666 you're a clown 🤡
I worked on a film called Jimmy and Judy as a production assistant in the early 2000’s. I met Edward on that set and hung out with him and the group of art department/directors/writers one night. He’s a really funny and genuinely humble and friendly person. I really liked being around him. Not because of him being “John Connor” from T2, but just because he was a righteous dude. It was a small indie film, but he treated everyone like an equal. He wasn’t a prima-donna and he didn’t look down on anyone or complain about anything. I look back on that time in my life fondly. If memory serves me, I was with him either the day of or the day before he got arrested for letting lobsters out of their tank at a Meijer in Northern Kentucky lol the director had to bail him out so they could resume filming!
I also met Rachel Bella on that set. She was super sweet and kind to everyone as well.
Thanks for the interview! And Edward, if you see this, I hope all is well my friend. I am glad to hear you’re off the junk. I’ve been clean for almost 5 years. Take care my dude.
🧢
I bought that DVD at a thriftstore a few years ago and I loved it! It was definitely unique. It's really cool to come across your comment. Congrats on your sobriety, I've been off hard drugs for 5 years as well. Are you still working on movies?
That movie was awesome
@@srb2591 yeah, it’s interesting how they shot it, too. Edward did most of the camera work himself.
this movie was excellent. i don’t have DVDs anymore.. but oddly enough, this exact DVD is literally 4 ft from where i am sitting typing this right now. i made another comment that anyone who hasn’t watched this movie needs to see it and then i come across your comment. excellent story to read. glad you commented
I hope/wish Edward Furlong can get a "comeback role" like Brendan Fraser did in "The Whale".
He's too good of an actor to be ignored!
He's a cool dude. Glad to see him happy and doing well
Yes glad to see that he jerks off just like us 👍
The thumbnail sure didn't do Big Ed any favors.
@@hangingon Brutal! He looks so bad and looks older than 45, hard to believe Edward is the same age as Brock Lesnar. considering that he was the coolest thing going in the 90’s he should clean himself up and hit the gym he could make a huge comeback,
T2 will always be the best and had the perfect ending. A lot of us are trying to forget that Dark Fate ever existed. It's great to see Edward Furlong in a better place. We all go through our dark days, but it's about enduring and overcoming.
Dark fate was a damn feminist mess the woman terminator arguing with Sarah Connor about who’s gonna save the girl smh what a soap opera that was
Ummm... like machines were trying to destroy humanity and even the world and 'bad days' are and were upon us. The story is incredible in itself but can you really see him in that plot other than get picked off in the 1st scene. If he cared about overcoming, then he wouldn't be such a perverter middle aged man.
There is only T1 and T2. Nothing else after T2 counts and should be avoided.
This interview with Edward Furlong is one of those moments that will go down in history… well done! ☮️
I was an early 80s baby and I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've watched T2 over my life time. To me T2 is the only Terminator movie period. Nothing before it or after it comes close. It would make me so happy for Edward to continue getting his life back on track and star in a "reboot" of the terminator franchise that begins after T2 and ignores all the other movies that came after. Despite their efforts, skynet wins and the war plays out. Furlong builds an army and battles the bots to save the world. Everyone knows that's the new terminator movie we want to see!
Same
He can play a Bizarro version of himself. John connor goes apeshit on the humans alongside t-800.
Same same
Same mate, my dad took me to the cinema to see this when I was only 10 years old. My most watched movie of all time.
I musta watched it every single day for an entire summer with my child hood friend, know every line of that movie.
T2 and Pepsi nights.
I even remember watching it on a gigantic screen in a Mall in Mexico musta been 30 years ago.
He played that cool rebellious kid we all wanted to be.
I love the random disturbing answers Eddie gives to questions knowing that people don’t know if he’s serious or not.
He doesn't even know if he's serious or not.
@@xxxxWYLDSTALLYNSxxxx I hear that. Zero complaints.
It made me think of the weird stuff Hollywood does, mentioned shower, blood etc. lol almost like being sarcastic (what celebs do on their own time) idk just what it made me think of thst
To leave a masterpiece behind with you in it so epic, to be written in the archives of history so that your name will forever be remembered en rediscovered by new generations because of it’s impact…that’s what every artist wants. Edward Furlong is blessed.
T2 was crap.
@@JamesRichards-mj9kwIt’s the jewel of the series and considered one of the few times in cinematic history that the sequel out did the original. Name a terminator movie more iconic than T2 and I’ll name a liar. I think you’re being contrary for the sake of it tbh.
@@NC4E The first film was a million times better than the crap, overlong CGI sequel in every way.
You can tell he been through a lot of drama in his life but it's good to see him taking a day at a time.
I love the honesty! God knows i aint shit. And the fact he can be so raw and so honest about his daily life. Respect Mr.Conner
Facts
Edward Furlong was legit one of my favorite actors growing up. He nailed all of his roles.
Lots of love to Edward, congrats on his new teeth, it looks amazing. I'm glad to see him in sober path and doing well now, keep it up! This is a great interview, well done man!
Thank you!
@@AlexLeyba1 yes sir buddy this was an awesome interview! I was hooked start to finish!
What happened to his old teeth? He got dentures?
him just returning the affection to the kid interviewing him when the kid congratulated him on his sobriety ..ed patting him on the back shows the heart of this guy
That's not a kid. He's like 30 years old.
@@orandachildren1051 oh well...
I'm just glad that he's ok and sober now! He's so amazing in T2, one of the best child performances ever!
Hollywood need to hire this guy again.it sucks that you can only see him a conferences. There so many roles that he could do. A minimalist reality TV show about his life.
He'd make a great Joker or other villain in that universe, a forensic scientist, a detective. I'd love to see him reprise his role as John Connor but as the hacker "easy money" guy who shuts down Skynet using his intelligence.
Are you nuts?! He just admitted it in public to choking his chicken in a corner
@@lopezrome1982 There ya go. He can be cast as 'guy choking his chicken in the corner' extra in t-10 movie. It will be illegal, punishable by t-1000 to chok your sheeken and john conner will fight to get those rights back.
Imagine him getting into crazy shape and doing a teaser where he drops out of the time portal like his father Kyle Reese did in The Terminator?
I hope he knows he’s a legend. My earliest memories is him getting chased by the t-1000 on that dirt bike and truck scene. That movie is sentimental to me more than probably any other growing up in the 90’s and have watched this movie hundreds of times. Thank you for your service in a timeless movie Sir 🫡
Man that had to be so unreal chatting it up with Edward Furlong. I'm happy he survived those dark years of substance abuse, not many people make it out of that and he could fall right back like he said. Awesome interview and hope you stay strong Edward. That music was hitting at all the right times damn
Ed cracked me up with his honesty in this one.
On the disrespect to his T2 character: “At that point in my life there was really nothing I could do about it because I was busy. Doing heroin.”
🤣
😂😂😂
It's so good to see Edward looking good again! Hope to see him on screen again. Boss of an actor!
Eddie Furlong man what a legend in movies I hope he can make a comeback someday
Its great seeing Ed is doing much better.
Any terminator fan knows that the moment john connor died is the moment the movie died. How Tim Miller didnt understand the simple fact of John connor dead = Skynet wins is beyond me.
I really hope that some day Ed takes up the mantle of John Connor again and gives us a proper Terminator 3.
Terminator dark fate is stupid. Tim says he killed him because he wanted to get rid of the notion of messiahs existing yet he replaces him with another messiah who happens to be a woman? That makes no sense. Plus by the films dumbass logic, if the savior of humanity dies then another person will just end up taking their place anyways hence why dark fate implies John Connor is expendable. Well if that's the case then isn't the new female messiah, dani, expendable too? I mean if the movie taught us anything if she dies, then another messiah will just take her place so why even care anymore? Just stupid.
It is because Tim is woke and navigating a woke Hollywood that thinks stories such as this are more important than attracting audiences or box office returns. The studios that are figuring out no one wants this crap are quickly dropping this. The other will go under.
They could portray John Connor in the same way Ed's personal life has gone, addictions/problem due to fame. John could be living a bit rough due to the constant fear of looking over his shoulder, they could explore what that does to him, then he could pull himself out of it, a redemptive arc.
@@thewolfofwallstreet627 you’ll be ok little buddy. You along these others whining 😂🤷🏻♂️
@@lIlIlIlIlIlIIIIIIII who's whining? Just stating how laughably inconsistent and nonsensical the story is
Dude doesn't want to lose weight and make a comeback. He is chilling
Edward Furlong talking about Materia is the most 90s things ever! Love him!!
I don't even know what that means LOL
@@guyfaux900 Final Fantasy VII
wonder was he playing the remake or the original?
I'm so glad he's healthy and happy. He is iconic to so many of us. I hope he gets more movie roles in the future
Healthy?!?!😅
He's neither
He's as healthy as Chris Farley.
Even Furlongs hair looks unhealthy
@@johnhareiel5118 What made you think I was responding to you?
Or disagreeing?
This guy is so open and human. Very nice to see it.
I remember as a 16 year old kid going to the theater by myself and watching t2. I thought it was amazing and I always wondered how their lives were.
It’s refreshing to see he’s just a normal dude with problems just like the rest of us.
Well put...🙏
Pet Semetary 2, Brainscan, T2, Detroit Rock City, American History X, Little Odessa, Animal Factory, etc.
All Movies of my Childhood and Youth. Thanks for that, Eddie! ❤ You definelty deserve better than what James did to you in "Dark Fate".
I wish you all the best in Life 👍
I met Edward Furlong at Sinister Creature Con in Sacramento back in 2018. He's a very down to earth individual and it was great having a short conversation with him at the time.
Seeing him as a kid, i never thought he would end up the way he did
I'm proud of you for making it through the battle Ed. You're right, you can't never let your guard down. It's too easy to fall back in. It's great to see you straight.
I’m 44 years old and I remember watching T2 at the movies when it first came out, sitting on the floor stairs along with a bunch of other people. That’s how packed the movie was. T2 was the biggest thing ever in those day’s. AHX is legendary. Eddie looks like a stand up guy, especially after all he say’s his been thru. Very talented in my eyes.
This guy is such an inspiration! I will never let myself get as bloated as him! Thank You Ed Furlong for inspiring me!
You two are like brothers, great interview. Eddie seems to always be that classic fighter in life, gets knocked down, gets back up, great inspiration.
yeah like WWF's Earthquake and Typhoon
Furlong's the MAN!!!
This man needs more love than he gets. He is such an iconic actor and deserves so much better. Everyone is so quick to discard people if they don't live up to expectations.
Edward is such a homie. I always get that feeling from him. Seems like a good soul
He seems like the type of guy who would draw a penis on your face while you sleep.
@Tony we’ll write you off too Tony.
What’s most cool about him is the exact T2 John Connor swag from the movie is actually how Edward furlong is in real life. No wonder his acting was so good because he was literally just being himself.
His movie got me through a hard time in the hospital, I’m 26 so I grew up as kid wanting to be him at a time of course, but the movie was playing a lot on the hospitals main tv channels and it was on every night. Shit made me tough through a long week in the icu and I thank you for that my friend
Wishing you all best Eddie. One day we might get the sequel we really wanted.
These 2 have good on screen chemistry, would be good to see them in a modern buddy comedy.
Would love to do that lol
confirmed
He's like another Ed Furlong 😁
Pathetic
Them two in a buddy comedy ? A comedy or a XXX rated movie about wacking off ? Majority of the time, Furlong talked and talked about masturbating in front of older relatives. It's a creep fest over there with them two together.
I like the fact that Ed's ego isn't out of wack... this interview was awesome!
Thank you!!!
I’m Ed’s age …born in 1977 as well. I can definitely relate to his sense of humor. Very quirky. I’m the exact same way! He seems like a great dude! He’s obviously been through some stuff. I hope he is able to make a comeback.
Yeah after bashing every movie he was in, admitting he's a junkie, and showing people what a whale he's become, he's definitely not getting hired for any big roles any time soon.
@@TigerGreene people gain weight when they get sober, its not like he just decided to let himself go... he's probably more healthy now than years ago
@@waltnoble1051 That's nice. He should put that on business cards - "Definitely healthier than a crackhead".
Some people get fit when they get sober. Especially the ones who want roles in Hollywood.
@Jenna Wilkerson I guess if he wanted to portray himself as hideous, unfunny, with no singing talent or charisma. Perfect casting!
Edward Furlong is the man. Awesome actor, humble, cool dude and bad ass strong character in fighting own demons. Respect.
Just came across this vid in my feed and watched it instantly. Eddie was a huge inspiration for me as a kid, because despite the fact that John Connor was a fictional character, he gave me confidence to do things like speak up for myself and be brave in times of crisis. One of the best roles I’ve ever seen someone play. Absolutely love Detroit Rock City, but T2 will forever be my favourite of all time. Thanks man
I'd kick it with Eddie. He seems like a real dude.
This guy went from picked off a Boardwalk in Cali by a casting agent to playing one of the most known characters across the planet. His star rose so fast, and after T2 he did some pretty good flicks, but there was nowhere for him to go but down. How can a 12-13 year old top playing John Connor?
True. It's also another of many testaments that kids just shouldn't get famous. How can such a young mind handle all that pressure and praise?
I consider Edward Furlong as John Connor to be the greatest child acting performance of all time.
American History X. That's how.
Have u watched Detroit Rock City?
@@anthonyvalli2455 American History X is in the top 20 of all time but it’s not better than T2
"Terminator 2" is a great movie. It looks like it is shot today. Edward Furlongs role was well chosen and played. For many the coolest things being in this famous movie. A comeback of Edward Furlong in good roles would be fantastic!
Edward Furlong was in some all time great films. I grew up watching T2, American History X among others. Dude was a great actor.
It's great to see him feeling good, being sober, being constant, losing weight and enjoying his family 🖤 He's feeling good and it reflects in his look, he's looking better and better everyday. Hope to see him again in a great role soon to display his fabolous acting skills as in American Heart, A home of our own, Little Odessa, American History X, Before and After and soooo on.... He deserve it, he fought his demons, now he controls them, and besides that, and SO important, he has what is needed to get it, his great talent and the sensitivity he involves in every performance.
Sorry... Are you blind?

@@orandachildren1051 have you seen his weight at 13:05 to 13:30? I think is obvious he looks better and healthier now
Sometimes you have to reach the bottom to humble yourself. He seems very genuine and humble. Enjoyed the interview
I love watching Eddie interviews. He doesn’t act too professional, he’s willing to get personal and dirty and I love that about him.
I actually have this idea of him reprising his role as Michael in Brainscan 2. A low budget horror film would fit perfectly into his comeback filmography.
Sometimes that's not always a good thing but honesty should always be at the forefront. Even if it's blunt as can be, but sometimes you gotta be tactful.
Most of his movies he has done are low budget horror flicks
Extremely low budget. Suits him.
Damn I forgot about that one. Gonna have to find it and rewatch.
An A24 production or Tarantino comeback pls, this guy deserves it
Good video. I was a junkie in my past so I know what it’ feels like to feel like helpless and in no position to call shots on something important to you because your just so deep in the shit. Glad he got sober and said what we a lot of us feel.
Yeah, l hope he can stay clean, best to try and keep busy, otherwise you may be tempted out of nowhere to drink a tasty glass of Jim Beam with cola or other tempting vices.
Yeah man. 8 years clean from dope. The clank did it for me. Resparked my passion for what I love and what I’m truly addicted to. Really changed my life. Eddie was on the tv when we were around the same age I’m 3 years his junior but T2 was a massive deal to me and Eddie just played the part so well I always wondered what happened to him. Now I know. Thanks guys and thank you Eddie for the great entertainment as a kid. I also always wondered how much time he spent on that dirt bike and how much was the stunt man. Waaa waaaaa waaaaaaaaaaa freakin Awsome sauce man it was just a different time and era. The mud to late 90s ...
He’s authentic and kind, and that’s the real accomplishment coming from Hollyweird. We’re proud of you, bro!
All my friends back in 90s use to make fun of me for having a crush on Edward. I got vindicated when I learned he was just a year younger then me. He did some amazing work as a kid. Hope he stays on the good path and doesn't become another static. Alot gone from 90s
@photag216 because they thought he was younger then I was at time of his T2 days lol.
Eddie cracking me up here. I wanna hang with this dude, what a damn legend.
He is f'ing hilarious. Reminds me a little of Farley. He could do a comedy movie
@@clinicaltranscription1190 Detroit Rock City was a lot of fun!
@@lordvishnu8172 - shows how much I know! This video that popped up on my feed was the 1st I'd thought of Furlong, but knew he was incredible/ perfect as John Connor. Just looked up Detroit Rock City, looks really funny and will have to check it out. One of my older brothers who's 54 now was part of the 'Kiss Army' 😂 so I got to witness his obsession. Thanks!
Edward Furlong seems to be on the right path - I really hope he will stay on it. T2 is my childhood. T DarkFart never happened. Over and Out
He had a lot to live up to. His first role was a role he played to perfection in the greatest action movie ever made. Its one thing to meet expectations but expectations you created? You know how many kids in the early 90s america wanted to rip around on their dirt bike and be a little badass because of him? Im 40 and I STILL think that kid was cool as shit.
His honesty is refreshing compared to interviews other famous people. Hope Eddie finds his way back to acting in iconic movies again.
So his honesty about perversion should get him movie roles ?
hollywood is a cesspool of degenerates, RUN dont WALK away from that nightmare.
Wow! It’s so amazing how time changes a lot of things. I hope he gets another chance. I remember him in 1990 Terminator. He was such a good young actor back then.
@@technojoe4079Terminator 2 is from 91.
love these interviews. Eddie was the coolest kid ever when i was growing up, I wanted to be him so bad! So glad to see he's doing well with his addictions etc and hope it continues. He's looking great with his new teeth and awesome to hear he's taking care of his health a bit better. I REALLY hope he gets given some new roles soon
He looks like a cool down to earth guy who's gone through alot in his life. Unfortunately given his past addiction and troubles It doesn't seem likely Hollywood will greet him back but i do Hope he's got over drug addiction, i'm currently struggling to quit cigarettes wich Is hard enough, i can only Imagine how difficult It must be to kick heroine. Anyway i wish him the best and kudos to you for the good interview
good seeing Eddie and i hope he's good and stays clean.. life can beat the hell outta ya and if you can make it to the other side, dont forget the hard times!
Great seeing Furlong with good health as what makes this interview watchable is seeing two people relatable to the common person.
Good health? The man has a gut and double chin.
@@alexvaldez83 He’s clean…. That’s a start
@@SuperDalite
An addict saying he's clean doesn't necessarily mean that he is. I'm not trying to be mean; I struggle with my personal shit as well, so I know. Edward does not look like he is sleeping and he seems to be masking his unhappiness with dark humor. There is nothing healthy about that.
@@alexvaldez83 he used to have 3 chins and a double gut.
I think that Eddie's top three movies that stick with you are T2, Detroit Rock City, and Brainscan. I can put any of those on for a rewatch and never get sick of them.
He also did American History X. He was good in that.
@@9sunskungfu - I consider AHX an Edward Norton movie.
Truth! I've been ADDICTED to DRC since last week!! Just makes you feel alive!!❤❤
Those the only movies this boi ever been in, that's why.
He was good in pet cemetery too!
Stoic is one of Furlongs most underrated movies imo. Most people I know have never even heard of it. Its certainly not for the faint of heart but its relentless the whole way through.
I think I'm a bigger fan of Edward as a person than I am of his characters. Such a down to earth genuine soul who has had real world struggles but is working to overcome them. Id love to see him make a huge comeback in Cinema. They should let me direct a Terminator film. Id bring it back to the horror side of things with Eddie in the lead.
Father time can be cruel but I'm glad Eddie is back and in good spirits.
It wasn't so much father time as it was doing hard drugs. Doing those substances ages a person horribly....
Father Time is Saturn
@@neonpop80 naw, there is no father time, that's just made up chit.
Met him at a film convention in London , he asked for an English cigarette and I had one of his American ones and we went on the roof and had a good chat , really nice man
I love and respect how authentic Edward Furlong is. Seems like a real cool dude. Great interview.
