The filmography of the guy is impressive. And for several years he was the most popular teenager. Thousands of admirers admired him, and film critics spoke positively about his acting skills, saying that his play is not good by years and prophesying a prodigal boy a successful career at a more mature age.

Classics of American cinema have become films in which a popular tandem is involved - Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. Photo of the actors can be seen in the article.

Carier start

Corey Haim began to study acting at school. The elder sister of the guy dreamed of becoming an actress and went to auditions, she took Corey with herself. That's so by chance in 10 years, he noticed the producers and offered to star in the television series. After that, he played the main role in the film adaptation of the same name in the book "The Silver Bullet". It is this work that brings young Cori still very famous. His acting skills were highly appreciated.

In the same year, Haim begins his shooting in the famous series "Days of Our Life." His success did not go unnoticed. For his excellent game, he receives the Young Artist Award.

At the age of 15, he played a major role in the movie "Lucas". The film was a resounding success, having received good reviews from both critics and viewers. For work, the actor also received the Young Artist Awards.

"The Missing Guys"

And in 1987 he played one of the main characters in the movie "The Missing Guys" directed by Joel Schumacher. This picture will later become a classic and will open fashion for vampires in the cinema.

The film tells about two brothers, Mike and Sam, who after the divorce of their parents come with their mother to a town called Santa-Carla. But in the city, not everything is so calm, there is a gang of bikers in it, which constantly breaks the tranquility of the inhabitants. Michael (older brother) gets into the gang, but it turns out they have a secret, because in fact they are vampires. At this time, Sam, played by Corey Haim, gets to know the guys who consider themselves hunters to vampires.

In the film, horror and comedy moments intertwine. An unusual story, good music and an excellent performance of the actors made this film a cult at the time.

Awards and $ 32 million collected the picture "The Missing Guys". Corey Haim did not receive any awards for the film, but it was a turning point in his career when the popularity of the young actor grew to grandiose proportions.

And in 2008 the second part was withdrawn, in it two Cory again played. But already secondary characters.

"Driver's license"

For all, it was a real surprise when a film with such a small budget got such a deafening success. The amount of profit was eight times higher than the cost. The film was included in the list of the 50 most profitable tapes of 1988. And his partner in the film was again Corey Feldman (previously they played together in the fantasy thriller "The Lost Guys"). Of the young people turned out to be an excellent tandem on the screen, but in life they became friends. They even began to be called "Two Cory."

"Make a little dream come true"

He was the last of the films, in which the popular teenage duo played the leading roles. The film was quite successful with the audience, but could not repeat the triumph of the previous two. Although in "Make a Little Dream" for the first time sounded the song Rock on Michael Damian, which afterwards did not leave the top positions of the hit parade for a long time. After the career of the hero of our article went into decline. Corey Haim began to be shot much less, and the films with his participation were not so popular.

Recent successes

In 1991, after a break due to problems with drugs, he starred in the film "Guardian Angels", for his work received the "Saturn" award, which is considered one of the most prestigious awards in the genre of fantasy and horror.

And in 1993 he took part in the remake of "Just one of the girls", the film was well received by the audience.

In 2009, the last film with his participation - "Adrenaline" will be released.

Personal life

Corey was never married. In 2009, Victoria Beckham said that even before the start of her career in the group Spice Girls, she met with the actor. Their first meeting took place in one of the London music studios. Victoria broke off the relationship because of the addiction of Corey to drugs and alcohol.

After the actor met with many beautiful girls, such as Nicole Egert, the star of the series "Rescuers Malibu", or the well-known Alice Milano. But none of his novels have ended successfully.

Drugs

Drugs actor began to use as early as adolescence. And in the 1990s a series of failures for the actor began. He was arrested for possession of drugs. Already much later, in 2007, Corey will say that this predilection has spoiled his career.

Throughout his life, he often treated and tried to get rid of addiction. And sometimes there was a hope that he would succeed.

But, unfortunately, on March 10, 2010, Corey Haim passed away. The official cause of death was called an overdose of medications. It is known that shortly before his death, the actor started pneumonia. While this questionable information is likely to have killed a pet millions of drugs.

I would like to note that at the time of death, the actor was quite in demand, he had creative plans, he took part in several projects at the same time.

Despite his drug addiction and setbacks, Corey Haim, whose films were very successful, always returned to the cinema.
