Shit. Now that is interesting. I wonder if Four Five Clothing could send him a new wardrobe, it would certainly finish him off.

Susie says – reply to this

I think he looks GREAT… so much younger and healthier than the last time I saw him. Gone is the puffiness… he looks like cute Corey again!
Amber says – reply to this

25

How sad. People always talk about how kids in show business and even adults need some kind of manual about how to handle celebrity. Haim use to be huge as a teen and fell into the drug culture of celebrities - even celebrities now. We forgive those celebrities today, why can't we forget those celebrities of yesterday? I'd go see Corey again in a heartbeat!

who is this guy?
Mami says – reply to this

28

Corey, there are lots of ways to make a living at acting other than to be in Hollywood. Be an acting coach. Join a theater company. Do something else. And try to be sober and recover. You look like a douche.

tom says – reply to this

36

OK Everyone-its easy to pile on. I like his approach. But then I notice he has cig almost burning his right index and middle fingers off. Seriously dude can you put down the addictive substances a least for one frickin promo shot!
supergirl says – reply to this

37

Has he had a stroke? Look at his signature
Sam says – reply to this

38

If he is a jew then somebody will sign him and give him a break. That's all it takes in Hollywood.
Starfire says – reply to this

39

He's not looking so good. Gone are the days where he was the cute Corey and Corey Feldman was the funny Corey. Poor guy. He should have saved all the money from those Tiger Beat photo shoots.
Hammer says – reply to this

40

He's smart. Nothing more exiciting to bored , pathetic people than a movie star just out of rehab. Bet he'll have work within 2 weeks. It's what you dramatoids want in a person. The more broke, drugged, prescrpiton-addicted…the better
elizabeth says – reply to this

he has lost a lot of weight since I last saw a pic. Good for him.

Yo Perez, why is that more lame than you whoring yourself out for Dolly?
loulou says – reply to this

43

This is sad. Poor guy. No self awareness at all. I can't believe any pr guy would think this is a good idea.
Lo says – reply to this

44

I hear they're casting for a new corey's horror movie…that should be interesting
blablabla says – reply to this

45

he is SO zezy! I almost thought it was Leonardo DiCaprio.
.
I feel so sorry for him though — cause you're right Perez — an act of desperation.
Laury says – reply to this

46

Awwwwwww I kinda feel bad for him. I mean, it probably cost him all he had to place that ad, it's kinda sad when you have to practically beg people to hire you.

Taytay says – reply to this

51

I love the Coreys. I love License to Drive, The Lost Boys, and Dream a Little Dream..I even love Last Resort..if he's clean, someone give him a a job!!
scott says – reply to this

52

What ever happened to his show with the other 'whats his name'–where he moved in and annoyed both his friend and his wife??
christine says – reply to this

53

Hmm, wonder how much he paid to put that ad of himself in the magazine. Looks pretty desperate. If it took him decades to get clean what director in his right mind is going to employ him?? Good luck, Corey. Welcome to the real world.
Will-Lynn says – reply to this

54

I heard there was supposed to be a second season of that horrible show "The 2 Coreys". Guess reality tv don't pay that good

Be nice perez it takes a big person to beat drug adiction. Let him try to do his thing.

56

WTF IS UP WITH THAT SIGNATURE OF HIS? MY 90 YEAR OLD GRANDMA CAN WRITE LESS SHAKY THAN THAT!
momms says – reply to this

57

he totally needs to be in a quentin tarentino movie. that could be his comeback. I like him-remember Lucas. I think he can really act. I hope someone takes him up and gives him a serious role, not something as a joke. Maybe he could play a druggie?
KiKi says – reply to this

58

I don't have the slightest clue who this dude is but this sure is the most desperate thing I've ever seen. He should just go to the nearest employment office.
Velvet U---- says – reply to this

Kelly Hu did the same thing — made an ad in Variety.
I hope it works for Corey.
Corey, good luck!!

I CAN'T TAKE WATCHING THIS BICTH says – reply to this

61

i watched a little of the first "Gone Country" and Maureen McCormick is just like this bitch i know that i can't stand because she has to grab the attention any chance she gets and she's just fat whore and a slob. not sayin Maureen is a whore but she acts just like the tramp i know.

with a small cigar in his hands…that IS dumb
Babs says – reply to this

Perez,
I am a little sad and ashamed for you. I thought you were the one that was always encouraging celebs to go into rehab. Well, maybe you didn't know it but "rehab" doesn't aways work the first time or the second or the fifth. But if someone is a recovering addict and wishes to makes amends, I think as a decent human being (and public) we should give them a shot. Sometimes, it takes a while "to get it right." Why not give hm the encouragement that he needs? What's right about calling someone who is clean and sober after a long (and public) battle with heroin a loser or hasbeen? When someone you love is battling a serious drug or alcohol problem and they finally see the light, it is the great thing. Re-think your hypocrisy of wanting people clean and then bashing them for being clean. You can't have it both ways.

I used to have every inch of my entire bedroom pastered with Corey Haim posters…wow, did I just say that out loud?!!? He needs to land himself in some off-beat movie, like Travolta did in Pulp Fiction. Might work.
Bluegirl_76 says – reply to this

65

Good luck and best wishes to Corey, man.
Kelly says – reply to this

66

…and I'm ready to be honest with you, Corey. Nobody cares.
It may be sad . . . says – reply to this

67

. . . but it also took guts. I hope he gets work out of it and rebuilds his career. He's an interesting actor and he deserves a chance to prove himself.

The great thing about Hollywood is that everyone is only one good performance away from a comeback. Do one good worthwhile thing and they love you again. He should consider doing independent movies for a while.

73

But I don't remember this guy. In fact even now after just reading his name I don't remember it to type it. Cory something. Never heard of him. I swear, people who want to be famous are so weird. I would hate to be famous.

Wonder how he afforded that ad. Hope he didn't have to take out a loan.

78

Everyone deserves a second chance. As we have all witnessed, it is not easy being a product of child stardom. I give him the credit for attempting to turn his life around.

I Love You Corey Haim!

I think it's a great idea. At least he's being honest. It's not like every other Hollywood actor wasn't totally desperate to get famous… he's just being upfront about it. All the others try and pretend they were just plucked from obscurity and they were lucky enough to be made into stars. That's utter bollocks as we all know… only the truly ambitious (well-connected/most aggressive/ruthless) will ever make it, he's just getting the 'selling' out in the open that's all. Nothing to be ashamed of!
Amy says – reply to this

81

Awwww….I used to have all his Teen Beat & Tiger Beat pictures on my wall. I had the biggest crush on him. I wish the best for him. I hope he doesn't have to go through life a tortured soul. Good Luck Corey!
Eve 7 says – reply to this

82

Think of all the chances Robert Downey Jr. was given. He was still on drugs and one time was so high he walked into a woman's house and passed out on her bed. But he got chance after chance. Cory should get the same and it did take some guts to do this.

Demode says – reply to this

Man, they really try to make him look like Matt Damon in this picture, don't they? This is BAD. Who ever thought this was a good idea needs to get there head checked. What actor would post an ad like this? His agent (if he has one) should be fired! I guess they figure with all the actors going in rehab, this would get him sympathy. Really, really lame.

He looks like Leo DiCaprio. I could see him in an offbeat serious role….

At least he had a career, Mario. What the fuck have you ever done? Other than being a grossly overweight, nasty faced fag with a bad haircut?

oh no!!! I was so in love with this guy when i was like 14. Sooooooo sad that he has ended up this way, he really needs to get a proper job, like the rest of us. He could never act anyway.
