In the '80s, when both were young, rising teenage big-screen stars, it was hard to think of one without the other.
Born about five months apart in 1971, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman starred together in films like The Lost Boys and License to Drive. In 2007 they teamed up again for an A&E series, The Two Coreys.
After Haim died unexpectedly early this morning at age 38, Feldman released the following statement:
"I was awakened at 8:30 this morning by my brother and sister knocking on my bedroom door. They informed me of the loss of my brother Corey Haim. My eyes weren't even open all the way when the tears started streaming down my face. I am so sorry for Corey, his mother Judy, his family, my family, all of our fans, and of course my son who I will have to find a way to explain this to when he gets home from school.
"This is a tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul, who will always be my brother, family, and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference. Please respect our families as we struggle and grieve through this difficult time. I hope the art Corey has left behind will be remembered as the passion of that for which he truly lived.
