Edward Furlong

Edward Furlong fell in love with the audience for his early work in cinema. In the past, Edward was almost the most recognizable child after playing the role of John Connor in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, however, growing up, Furlong, like Macaulay Culkin, could not keep the bar of a popular actor throughout his career. ...

Edward Walter Furlong was born on August 2, 1977 in the town of Glendale, which is located in the western United States near Los Angeles (California). The future actor grew up in an incomplete family, the boy did not have a father. Edward has never seen his dad, but claims he is Russian by nationality. And from the mother of Eleanor Torres, Edward has Mexican blood. Furlong is the name of the stepfather, with whom Torres lived at one time.

This is not to say that Furlong's early childhood was happy. Eleanor worked in a youth center, and her family was constantly short of money. In the future, it turned out that the woman could not cope with the difficulties that fell on her shoulders, and gave her child to be raised by her sister Nancy and stepbrother Sean, refusing custody. The young man lived with his aunt and uncle until the age of 16, and then defended the right to independence in court.

The actor admitted that he grew up as an ordinary child who was interested in outdoor games with boys in the yard. Edward did not grab stars from heaven, never thought about the world of big cinema, and even more so did not participate in school plays.

An event that took place in 1991 turned the boy's life upside down, giving him a lucky ticket. It happened at the entrance to the Pasadena Boys and Girls Club. 13-year-old Edward, standing in line among other teenagers, was spotted by Mali Finn, who was looking for a talented young man for the role of John Connor in James Cameron's action movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The gifted young man managed to make himself known: Edward bypassed thousands of competitors in the casting and got the coveted role in a science fiction film, which eventually became a cult.

Perhaps there is no person in the world who does not know about the existence of a franchise based on the plot of a war between ordinary people and intelligent cyborgs. John Connor, in which Edward reincarnated, is one of the main characters in The Terminator, the last hope of humanity for salvation and a peaceful existence. Although Furlong played on the same stage with world-class stars (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Robert Patrick), the aspiring actor did not go unnoticed, but, on the contrary, gained worldwide recognition and fame.

Boys, dreaming of being like Edward Furlong, grew the same hairstyle, wore jeans and begged their parents to buy a motorcycle or at least a leather jacket. And a poster with John Connor, who is holding the wheel and looking seriously at the camera, hung in the room of almost every teenager. The actor admitted that he could not calmly move along the street and go to the boys' club, as passersby recognized him everywhere. And friends did not hesitate to ask Edward to get autographs from famous stars.

But few people know that while working on "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" Edward pretty ruffled the nerves of the director. According to rumors, the boy almost lost his role due to the fact that he disrupted the shooting: the young man forgot the words and mixed up the lines. Also during the filming process, Edward's voice began to break, so some of Connor's lines had to be re-voiced by the dubbing actors.

After the tremendous success, Furlong accepted new proposals from directors almost every year. In 1992, Edward got a role in the horror film "Pet Sematary 2", based on the story by Stephen King, and he also starred in the crime tape "American Heart" (1992), opposite Jeff Bridges and John Boylan. Among other things, around the same time, the young man began to get involved in music and even recorded a pop-rock album "Hold On Tight".

In 1994, Edward starred in the psychological thriller Brain Scan by John Flynn. The plot of this picture revolves around a sinister game that takes the user into virtual reality. The main character, high school student Michael, plays with the computer for days on end, forgetting about the lessons. But the young man does not even suspect that the murders taking place on the monitor screens, with his light hand, actually happen.

A year later, Furlong appeared in the crime film Before and After, which tells the story of the brutal murder of a girl in a small town. In this picture, Edward played the son of a doctor and the main suspect in the case. The guy was lucky enough to work on the same movie set with such actors as Meryl Streep and Liam Neeson. In 1998, Furlong and Edward Norton starred in the acclaimed film American History X about the neo-Nazi generation of skinheads. It is noteworthy that for the sake of this role, Furlong radically changed his image and cut his hair "to zero."

The new century began for the actor with the action-packed film "Animal Factory" (2000), where Steve Buscemi himself was the director. This tape tells about a prison drama in which wolf laws reign. Apart from Edward, Willem Dafoe, Danny Trejo, Mickey Rourke and Tom Arnold also played in the film.

It is worth saying that Furlong often starred in low-budget films, which received negative reviews from film critics, for example, he participated in the films Cruel World (2005) and Brotherhood of Darkness (2006). And this is not surprising, because in one of the interviews the actor said that it is money, and not the creative process, that is the main motivator of his labor activity. In 2009, Edward took part in Adam Guirash's vampire thriller Night of the Demons, where he worked alongside Shannon Elizabeth and Monica Keena.

In 2011, Furlong played in the superhero action movie "The Green Hornet", however, played a minor role of Tupper. But in the film "Below Zero", where he appeared in the same year, Edward got the main role of a screenwriter named Jack. "Below Zero" is a psychological drama that tells about the life of a writer who was overtaken by a creative crisis. The protagonist of this thriller tries to commit suicide in an extraordinary way: a young man locks himself in a refrigerator. But the played imagination of Jack under the influence of cold fails: before his eyes he sees terrible and bloody things.

In 2013, Edward reappears in an inexpensive horror film that received mixed reviews from moviegoers. This time the actor starred in a trivial horror with elements of the comedy "King of the Zombies". In the same 2013 Furlong played for a little-known director Ajay in the film "Seam", and also occasionally flashed in the films "Attack on Wall Street" and "Awakened".

Many viewers are accustomed to the fact that some famous actors begin their creative biography from childhood: Daniel Radcliffe, Christina Ricci, Emma Watson and others are vivid proof of this. Growing up, Edward changed a lot in appearance, from the former John Connor, whom the audience remembered, not a trace remained. Due to alcoholism and drug addiction, Furlong gained extra weight, and the man's face began to be decorated with dark circles under his eyes. Therefore, in the head of movie lovers who are accustomed to the image of a pretty boy, dissonance arises.

Edward's career went downhill: over time, the actor began to accept offers from little-known directors, and also appeared in small cameo roles. Due to problems with alcohol, the producers of The Terminator refused to give Edward the role of John Connor in the third part of the franchise. It is known that Furlong almost went to jail for drunk driving.

As for the love relationship, initially Edward dated a certain Jackie Domek, a woman who is 12 years older than him. But due to financial disagreements and other everyday situations, the mutual feelings of the beloved have sunk into oblivion. In 2006, Edward made a marriage proposal to Rachel Bella, and she agreed.

In the same year, the couple had their first child, Ethan, but three years later their relationship fell apart at the seams. Furlong continued to take cocaine, so after the divorce, all meetings between the actor and his son are held under special control.

It is also known that Edward does not use Instagram, but on the vastness of this social network there are pages with many Furlong's photos, which are being led by fans.

According to rumors, the premiere of the movie "The Reunion", in which Edward Furlong will play the main role, is expected in 2017. Also, presumably, the actor will take part in the films "Buds" and "Karma".
