According to Corey Feldman, Johnny Depp had not stood in the way of his career if Johnny Depp had not been in the way. The “Curse of the Caribbean” star should have taken care of the fact that Feldman did not get an important role in “Gilbert Grape”-as promised at first.
DiCaprio got the place in the sun
Corey Feldman threw in an interview For the “The Magnificent Others” podcast with Billy Corgan A look back into the past. Specifically, the actor would still worry that in 1993 he was not allowed to embody the part of the Arnie in “Gilbert Grape-somewhere in Iowa” because Johnny let him kick out and Leonardo DiCaprio was booked in the Lasse-Hallström drama. As an Arnie, Dicaprio was able to shine so that his career in the film industry was steeply uphill from the point and he even obtained an Oscar nomination as the best supporting actor.
Johnny Depp would have spread lies
Why did you not give Feldman job as already agreed? If it went after the mimes, Depp would have had influence and his words at the time of shooting. When he supposedly counted around that Corey Feldman was a “junkie”, he would have been bought. What, according to Feldman, did not meet the truth at all-he had to struggle with drug abuse as a child star, but when he was in negotiations for the “Gilbert Grape” part, he is said to have been clean and redeveloped his life for the better.
Feldman has pinched “Gilbert Grape” in the cinema
So it is hardly surprising that the now 53-year-old continues to reveal in conversation with Corgan that he never looked at the cinema strip due to bitterness. The thought of it would overthrow him too much in considerations, which could have become of his career if Johnny had not intervened.
Because after Corey Feldman celebrated great success in the 80s through his participation in “The Goonies”, “Gremlins”, “Stand by Me” and “The Lost Boys”, his career high afterwards. Most recently, he took part in the TV show “The Masked Singer” in the USA and secured sixth place there.
