He was good child actor that also showed promise in things like American History X and Animal Factory, but he wasn't the next Brando or anything. He seems like a really down to earth and cool dude though. T3 would have sucked with or without him, the writing was terrible, but still better than T4/T5/T6.
To those mocking the way Edward looks and talks - seems like the guy has been through a lot and it probably isn’t easy to do an interview like this in front of a crowd. Have some respect for the man.
Someone was saying he talks slow and is washed up but he always talked that way even when he was a kid. Always said dude and man and drawn out. I can care less about how someone talks. And tons of stars did and do drugs. Some just get more attention than others with it.
@@1flynlow imagine if this happened and they released a pic of Arnold and John sitting on motorcycles maybe holding guns, that pic alone would have sold more tickets than Dark Fates entire run.
If I was allowed to keep 3 memories of my life after I died, I would definitely keep the one I had when I watched T2 in theaters with my mom, dad, sister and 2 brothers. I was 11 years old. I miss being a kid and definitely miss the 90s do bad.
Edward Furlong looks like a man that lived like absolute shit for a while and recovered. That dazed look of sobriety. It is really incredible that he has managed to come out of that and keep himself present and relevant in the culture. And he is super open about it. You love to see it.
Sorry, but when I saw Bale as Connor I believed he would lead a fucking resistence against killer artificial intelligence. He had this serious intensity and despite thst bullshit tantrum became the character. He did his best in a shit movie and so did Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese may he rest in peace!
Even though far superior actors to Furlong (that gave superior performances as Connor, no less) have played the role. XD Acting aside, Furlong really has the luxury of being the OG John Connor (the “only one” according to die hards). But that said, yeah, he’s been missed as John.
@@BickleBungle1991 people keep saying Christian Bale is a BADASS as John Conor but everyone seems to forget Edward Furlong was only a TEENAGER and had to play a serious role in his first movie! Give EDWADRD FURLONG some credit people! He will always will be an OG! Terminator and Terminator 2 will always be the best and remain a classic🕶☠🔥
Yeah, I gladly paid to see it and enjoyed it. It’s far superior to the last three installments. Now y’all be your kewl selves hating on a reasonably well-constructed movie; at the end of the day it’s funny to know y’all had a miserable time and are venting on the internet (as humans do now). HA!
ohhh my god this is a great moment for me. budnick and john reunited. these two were the ultimate duo, even if it was brief. terminator is all about brief but meaningful relationships. never forget that budnick actively participated in saving mankind by using his quick wits to stall the t-1000 in its efforts to find john.
John Connor: You just can't go around killing people. The Terminator: Why? John Connor: What do you mean why? 'Cause you can't. The Terminator: Why? John Connor: Because you just can't, okay? Trust me on this.
He basically grew up exactly how I'd imagine John Conner would if he never grew up in a post apocalyptic world being the leader of the resistance against the machines.
08:16-08:36 Edward Furlong is spot on. Gosh, this guy has so much potential! You can see a troubled guy but at the same time you can see a authentic person. It's almost sucks because you want to pull for this guy to get over his demons.
What I find amazing is their actual personalities still fit the script lol. Selecting these 2 for terminator was the perfect match for the cast and the roles they played.
Well Drug addiction is a bitch, feel kinda sorry for him getting involved with the shiny hollyweird shit too young only to destroy his live with drugs and shit.
Glad to see Edward Furlong and Danny Cooksey in this interview. It's been so long time after T2, l still have a soft spot for this two guy, they both are incredibly amazing in T2, seems a cool and nicest guy.
I remember watching T2 in the theaters and when i saw eddie play john conor i swear he was soo relatable to kids growing up in that time including me!!! I wish we all had a john conor as a childhood friend!!! Iconic childhood
I saw an interview with Edward within the last year where they asked him what he has going on/coming up - and he replied with “ come on man no one wants to work with me” he was kinda joking but it was sad too
A Legendary pretty boy who looks good when he makes out in front of a camera while the other is still Relevant after all these years. I guess you call those people OG🕶☠🔥
Danny Cooksey was actually an AWESOME singer just a year later in a metal band called Bad 4 Good!! The album title is: Refugee. Seriously if any of you guys are in to Skid Row, Guns n Roses or Mötley Crue you should definetly check out! His voice on that album just blows my mind!! He was so young but still had such power.
I watched T2 for the first time in 1997 when I was 8 and I immediately became obsessed. Even though it was years after the film’s release, I still remember seeing T2 merch kind of regularly. To this day it is my favorite movie of all time. It never feels outdated and it’s just as enjoyable now as it was back then.
I don't think he's completely clean to this day. I mean he just looks strung out even here. I believe it when they said he was supposed to be in Terminator 3. I also believe he was meant to have a bigger role in Dark Fate, they just have been waiting decades for him to get clean but with JC killing John Connor off like in the first 10 minutes of this newest one and he's said over and over and over "THIS is the real sequel to T2" I think it's safe to say James Cameron after about 2 decades has finally given up on Furlong.
@The Good Life You don't understand, he's been in and out of rehab AND jail for this since like... the mid to late 90s. They've been very, very patient with him. It woudn't have been out of the question for him to have gotten a trainer and a life coach, even someone whose job it would be to live with him and prevent him from scoring or using drugs (and then to show up on time to set, etc) but there's only so many times people are willing to throw things into the abyss before realizing they're wasting their time trying. I mean for all I know this isn't even the reason, but I do know he's had a really hard time with drugs basically ever since T2 and it's so bad that he really hasn't gotten any work since then. Nothing any good. And TMZ basically lived outside of his house. Google articles about him and his stints in rehab and jail/prison. There's photos of him with track marks on his arms and everything. Not the kind of person you'd entrust a multi-million dollar budget film to, but honestly it cost the movie in the end. People wanted to see Ed Furlong as grown up John Connor but he couldn't realistically portray the character as an adult in his current state. Sadly.
@The Good Life I mean he seems OK in this video, actually, although you can see like ... he just looks like someone who's been through the ringer. He's got photos taken where he's out in public, short sleeves on, track marks readily visible, as if he either didn't notice or didn't care. Or maybe he just thought paparazzi wouldn't go to skid row or something. Anyway I think they wanted him to have a bigger role in this newer film, in fact for all we know it could've been written ABOUT John Connor in it's first form, but they were like "We're either getting Edward Furlong to do it or we're re-writing it. No more recasting of this character." so yeah that's the biggest question I have is was killing him as young John Connor the plan the entire time, or not? I can't help but think it wasn't. It completely undermines the first two movies having young John Connor die in the first 10 minutes of this movie.
Still my number 1 spot for favourite movies of all time. To be made that many years ago and still hold up to and even surpass most movies today is a testament to the greatness of T-2.
Nice to see that Danny Cooksey seems to have avoided the child actor pitfalls that Furlong sort of fell into. As far as I know. He looks happy and reminds me of Jason Mraz.
I bet Furlong didn’t even work on Dark Fate. He prob just got paid to use his likeness. Digitalized John Connor is killed at the beginning of Dark Fate. To me a big FU to Furlong. Not right.
The imagery of gunning down a child was pretty fucked up. Not to mention it was the child they protected the whole time in T2. DF was a complete disgrace to the franchise.
I was 13 when that movie came out couldn't get a enough of it! Looking back I think it was easily the best action movie of the 1990's. The more I have thaught about it probably the best action movie of all time! In the 1980's and in the 1990's there were a lot of great actions movies so that is saying a lot and even today this day other action movies can't hold a candle to when it comes to T2.
I was 5 lol. But eventually got to see it later and still way too young. Dad made me cover my eyes when Todd got the T-1000 arm through his head. I didn't miss one bit of it peeking between my fingers 😁
Wow, Furlong super out of shape. Just bugs me that if he was clean and in better shape, no one else would be playing John Connor then himself! It's a shame.
I think him being in shape has nothing to do with him being cast. If they really wanted him they would have written him into the script like they did with Carrie Fisher and put him in the gym for 6 months. Their minds were made up to have an all female cast with a new female hero.
andrew seed It also didn’t help that he was being raped by his female tutor who was almost 30 when he was 14 or 15. That’ll mess up your perspective on life. It’s public knowledge; she even transported him across state lines to avoid legal issues. Then they “dated” for several years until he was accused of domestic violence while by then being totally hooked on drugs. She started messing with him while T2 was being filmed. Look it up.
Danny's mullet is what made T2 so legendary. It was so bizarre, it felt as if his barber wanted to terminate his chances at ever getting laid with that haircut.
The 2 guys who should of been in the "direct sequel!" Imagine if Cameron directed, Brad Fidel returned along with Arnold and Linda. Plot twist it was Danny Cooksie who takes on skynet.
Oh man could you imagine how the rest of the film's could've been with the OG john Conner playing the older john.. The films went to shit after the epic T2
Thank you for expressing yourself. I agree. Keep spreading positive messeges like these✊🏼. Termiantor 1🕶☠ and Terminator 2 Judgemant Day🕶☠🔥 The Best. Classic
Furlong is John Connor! Should’ve definitely used him in T3. It wasn’t long after American History X so they could’ve definitely used him. These studios don’t know what the fans want. As shows with making T6!
Who remembers Danny from nickelodeon Salute your shorts!! Edward Furlong is the OG Leonardo DiCaprio always reminded me of Edward Furlong. I guess Edward and Leo were up for James Cameron’s Spiderman.
Adam Lemus 😂😂 well I think it was more part of his infiltration plan. He already knew what the answer was and if they said no he would’ve just killed them right there and found out for himself
the_gift 182 Yeah I figured, but since we know that terminators thanks (spoiler alert)to dark fate can have a existential crisis the idea of a sad T1000 sitting in a cop car amuses me.
Adam Lemus that would be hilarious 😂 and then strolling through the galleria looking at all the people. Changing himself to a child and playing at the arcade. 😂
Great interview watched a few with Edward over past few days and he seems like a good guy glad he is working through his demons and he is able to enjoy the legacy he has left with Terminator 2
Edward Furlong, forever the OG John Conner NOBODY ELSE period.
Except for the guy who played future eddie in t1 and t2 LOL
Yawn
@Johanna_ Jelly Eddie has a cameo in new terminator movie hahaha
@@Jeffro5564 no he doesn't. His character dies in the first 10 minutes of the new movie.
*Connor
I feel like Furlong had one of the highest potentials of any actor that was never reached
He did American history x n another one in a prison that was pretty decent
@Steve Jones doubt it, didn't stop Tom Cruise, Ben Stiller, Danny DeVito, Robert Downy Jr, Jack Black....
He was good child actor that also showed promise in things like American History X and Animal Factory, but he wasn't the next Brando or anything. He seems like a really down to earth and cool dude though. T3 would have sucked with or without him, the writing was terrible, but still better than T4/T5/T6.
Agreed
He’s still achieved greatness. He was in two of the greatest movies of all time and can make a living off the conventions.
To those mocking the way Edward looks and talks - seems like the guy has been through a lot and it probably isn’t easy to do an interview like this in front of a crowd. Have some respect for the man.
@Dench2020 I hope you one day find peace.
@Dench2020 who are you? Nobody is ever going to remember you for anything in your life...just a nobody. Probably just a pos virgin for life.

then he should be in a GOOD terminator sequel.

Have you not seen Detroit Rock City??

I don't know probably with less yeh's but don't get me wrong i like the guy i seen a few of Edwards other films he's a good actor.

People should give him more credit! He was only a teenager when he played John Connor and it was his first movie! I see talent😉

His a kid what kind of answer u are expecting?
Whenever I see Danny Cooksey in those scenes, I instinctively think: "Hey, it's Dave Mustaine's little brother."
He basically grew up exactly how I'd imagine John Conner would if he never grew up in a post apocalyptic world being the leader of the resistance against the machines.
:))))
03chrisv wispers hello I’ll miss you quite terribly
In the deleted ending scene he became a successful politician with a daughter.
Strange how Edward's voice has hardly changed!
They say when you experience trauma as a young child ur voice gets stuck there. Dude probably got turned out for this role.
michael stromberg as does the mind
I believe his voice broke halfway through the shoot so he had to dub his lines in post.
I was so head over heels in love with Eddie. Seriously had him as wallpaper in my bedroom.

He's got photos taken where he's out in public, short sleeves on, track marks readily visible, as if he either didn't notice or didn't care. Or maybe he just thought paparazzi wouldn't go to skid row or something. Anyway I think they wanted him to have a bigger role in this newer film, in fact for all we know it could've been written ABOUT John Connor in it's first form, but they were like "We're either getting Edward Furlong to do it or we're re-writing it. No more recasting of this character." so yeah that's the biggest question I have is was killing him as young John Connor the plan the entire time, or not? I can't help but think it wasn't. It completely undermines the first two movies having young John Connor die in the first 10 minutes of this movie.
A shitty role. They did John Connor hella dirty.
Despite his voice breaking in T2 his voice still is pretty squeaky
Still my number 1 spot for favourite movies of all time. To be made that many years ago and still hold up to and even surpass most movies today is a testament to the greatness of T-2.
Nice to see that Danny Cooksey seems to have avoided the child actor pitfalls that Furlong sort of fell into. As far as I know. He looks happy and reminds me of Jason Mraz.
Hey janelle how's wolfie?
Wolfies just fine, where are you?
cuts to arnold
Your foster parents are dead
Wolfie is still alive to me damnit!!!!
Hey shut up you worthless piece of
Somethings wrong,she's never this nice
That was the only time those two Terminators spoke to each other.
Yes.... We've seen it. Thanks.
Danny Cooksey was in Salute Your Shorts from Nickelodeon
1 episode in dukes of hazzard. Young kid with a dog.
Don't forget he also voiced max on the cartoon tiny toon adventures and the cartoon pepper ann one of my best childhood memories
Yeeeeeah. IT MAKES ME WANNA FART 🤣🤣🤣
I bet Furlong didn’t even work on Dark Fate. He prob just got paid to use his likeness. Digitalized John Connor is killed at the beginning of Dark Fate. To me a big FU to Furlong. Not right.
Until I see I don't know I'll get back to ya me eld mate
F.U.
The imagery of gunning down a child was pretty fucked up. Not to mention it was the child they protected the whole time in T2. DF was a complete disgrace to the franchise.
ExtremeFan18 Arnold Schwarzengger did the same exact thing in Terminator Salvation
He was probably too high to work with.
I was 13 when that movie came out couldn't get a enough of it! Looking back I think it was easily the best action movie of the 1990's. The more I have thaught about it probably the best action movie of all time! In the 1980's and in the 1990's there were a lot of great actions movies so that is saying a lot and even today this day other action movies can't hold a candle to when it comes to T2.
I was 14 and I thought it was the coolest movie ever made. And Guns and Roses was the best band in the world at the time.
I was 5 lol. But eventually got to see it later and still way too young. Dad made me cover my eyes when Todd got the T-1000 arm through his head. I didn't miss one bit of it peeking between my fingers 😁
Wow, Furlong super out of shape. Just bugs me that if he was clean and in better shape, no one else would be playing John Connor then himself! It's a shame.
He's not in the worst shape ever but he could be a little more fit! He seems more burnt out than anything.
I think him being in shape has nothing to do with him being cast. If they really wanted him they would have written him into the script like they did with Carrie Fisher and put him in the gym for 6 months. Their minds were made up to have an all female cast with a new female hero.
@@Romans8-9 He was also suppose to be in T3 but couldn't because of his addictions.
@@pedromatias7608 I know but that was 16 years ago.
Yeah he's quite disgusting
...it's time for a Salute Your Shorts reunion.
Edward Furlong is the ONLY John Connor.
Ed still rolling high on the coattails of a movie he did 30 years ago. Sweet.
He did lots of other stuff in the 90's too though, his role in American History X was big.
What have you done?
He was also in pet sematary 2 & American history X. T2 is still legendary like Terminator of '84.
Damn dude 28 years ago. Dont make this worse than it has to be. Lmaooooo
They used his likeness in a movie released 4 days ago so why not?
Edward is the only John Connor.
Others.
Him when he was young only, sadly... but definitely also Michael Edwards the Future John Connor (T2).
@Prestigo Wize 👏👏👏👏👏
With some makeup and the gym Eddie would have been perfect for Dark Fate. Beyond disappointed with the plot.
agreed
It's like he's all grown up..but his voice hasn't changed lol
Ed Furlong "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and guess what? Yeah
😂
These guys need their own hipster movie
YESSSS
Dude, where's my Terminator?
Imagine if he was in shape to reprise the role....
yungadizzle They should’ve just had John Connor turn into a junkie failing to live up to his future leader potential. Problem solved.
Voice could still be a problem tho
@@MazzaMedia_ basically John Connor in the beginning of Terminator 3, though to a lesser degree
28:24 Lol when Edward started singing the circus music XD
I died laughing. He must have been like ohh shit wops
Song is called Entrance of the Gladiators.
That guy had the best question out of all of them.
@@gjk2012 That´s true and he was very friendly aswell :)
@@hall3a yeah so awkward looool
In real life this would be John Conner. With no war he's just a normal guy. Turning to drugs and alcohol.
Don't be fooled Skynet turned him onto drugs back in the 90s so now we have no hope when judgment day comes.
*CONNOR.
John’s comeback to fight for the future would have made a hell of a film, kinda like fat Thor going for the head. A wasted opportunity.
andrew seed It also didn’t help that he was being raped by his female tutor who was almost 30 when he was 14 or 15. That’ll mess up your perspective on life. It’s public knowledge; she even transported him across state lines to avoid legal issues. Then they “dated” for several years until he was accused of domestic violence while by then being totally hooked on drugs. She started messing with him while T2 was being filmed. Look it up.
In the deleted ending scene he became a successful politician with a daughter.
I always love following up with danny cooksey after so many years. I feel like ive been doing that forever
Danny's mullet is what made T2 so legendary. It was so bizarre, it felt as if his barber wanted to terminate his chances at ever getting laid with that haircut.
A legendary ginger mullet.
Thats funny because I would absolutely do him with that mullet.
And yet, all the girls loved Budnick in Salute Your Shorts, lol. (The fans, anyway lol)
The 2 guys who should of been in the "direct sequel!" Imagine if Cameron directed, Brad Fidel returned along with Arnold and Linda. Plot twist it was Danny Cooksie who takes on skynet.
..id def watch Furlong in a John Connor netflix series. love the guy but has to get his stuff together and get in shape..and stay sober
His stuff is together, he is sober, he has made progress on getting in shape
@@carlossantiago6642 Follow his IG. He's clean, sober & cleaning himself up now.
Yeah a 'Kobra Kai' type netflix series about his life post T2....
the 2020s may indeed be his comeback. I loved and still
A Netflix series sounds awesome, I hope that happens.
So wild seeing *Furlong,* I see time has passed and he's "gotten older" but I still see that badass kid on the dirt bike sitting up on stage. 👍
The most truthful answer anyone wrote. Respect! T1 and T2 are my favorite🕶☠🔥
They had some pretty good scenes in "pet sematary 2" with the dirt bike too.
Oh man could you imagine how the rest of the film's could've been with the OG john Conner playing the older john..
The films went to shit after the epic T2
Nick Clutterbuck he should get in the gym and be John Connor again
Thank you for expressing yourself. I agree. Keep spreading positive messeges like these✊🏼. Termiantor 1🕶☠ and Terminator 2 Judgemant Day🕶☠🔥 The Best. Classic
i wanna cry, that's how bad i'd like to see T3 with Edward
I really liked the third one, still felt like it was part of the first 2 movies trilogy. The rest went in a different direction.
Furlong is John Connor! Should’ve definitely used him in T3. It wasn’t long after American History X so they could’ve definitely used him. These studios don’t know what the fans want. As shows with making T6!
I think he was drugged out by t3 so they didn't use him
Who remembers Danny from nickelodeon Salute your shorts!! Edward Furlong is the OG Leonardo DiCaprio always reminded me of Edward Furlong. I guess Edward and Leo were up for James Cameron’s Spiderman.
*Are you the legal guardian of John Connor?*
👮
That’s right officer. What’s he done now?
the_gift 182
I always wondered what if they said no.
I just picture the T1000 sitting in his cop car thinking “well shit that I was only plan”
Adam Lemus 😂😂 well I think it was more part of his infiltration plan. He already knew what the answer was and if they said no he would’ve just killed them right there and found out for himself
the_gift 182
Yeah I figured, but since we know that terminators thanks (spoiler alert)to dark fate can have a existential crisis the idea of a sad T1000 sitting in a cop car amuses me.
Adam Lemus that would be hilarious 😂 and then strolling through the galleria looking at all the people. Changing himself to a child and playing at the arcade. 😂
Great interview watched a few with Edward over past few days and he seems like a good guy glad he is working through his demons and he is able to enjoy the legacy he has left with Terminator 2
