Once again begging y’all to be normal about child actors
It’s - it’s so creepy to Me? The obsession of finding photos that aren’t for the public or reposting what they did fanning over them (which could easily just be left as a comment? Like you have no need to make another post about their photo) etc
It’s particularly a problem when it comes to Miguel. I don’t know what it is? Maybe because he’s hispanic? And there’s a nasty form of adultifcation that comes with it on this boy and it’s scary… the family photos, the yearbook photos - the tattoos the constant comments etc like there’s being a fan of someone and having posters on the wall etc then there’s some concerning behavior…
He’s so young and people are so obsessed and I honestly feel like it’s …. He may be on the track to being another Eddie Furlong. He was a cute kid and a decent actor and people got… so ungodly obsessed with him at a extremely young age and he’s proof that stuff can mess you up BAD. Good actor who fell to obesssive fans, addiction etc - he’s washed out today but still manically obsessed over to the point someone’s placing all their personal problems on to him because of their parasocial relationship problems. I don’t want this for Miguel or any other child actor… for the love of god be normal
Forgotten and Overlooked Abuse in Hollywood: Edward Furlong and Jacqueline Domac
When talking about pedophilia and grooming in Hollywood, many names come up. Predators, victims, bystanders. One name that I never see in those conversations is Edward Furlong.
Edward Furlong (around 14-15) played John in Terminator 2 and was expected to be become a star. His tutor, Jacqueline Domac (28-29), started dating him. Nobody did anything. They dated for years. Edward ended up a drug addict, went in and out of rehab, had criminal charges. Jacqueline Domac changed her name and started working at a High School as a Health Teacher, including Sex ED
