Corey Feldman Accuses Johnny Depp of Role Sabotage
Corey Feldman has accused Johnny Depp of sabotaging his casting in the 1993 film 'What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,' claiming he was initially set to play the role that ultimately went to Leonardo DiCaprio. During an appearance on Billy Corgan’s podcast, Feldman stated that Depp whispered to producers that he was 'not fond' of Feldman, labeling him a 'junkie' despite Feldman asserting he had just gotten sober. Feldman expressed bitterness over the incident, suggesting that being cast in the film could have significantly changed his career trajectory. He also noted his attempts to help River Phoenix during that time, who tragically passed away after a drug overdose at Depp’s nightclub. Despite Feldman's claims, Depp has not publicly responded to the allegations. This controversy adds to Feldman's history of public feuds with other celebrities.
