@@freakbuck Bryan Singer didn't have anything to do with Ghost World. It's just that Brad Renfro worked with him in another movie. As far as I can tell, there were no known allegations from Brad Renfro. But given what we know of Bryan Singer and young boys... I mean, you do the math. From an article quoted on Reddit: Filmmaker Joel Schumacher deliberately wanted to cast a troubled kid in "The Client", which is how Renfro got his start in Hollywood. "He was sexually active. He had a girlfriend who was years older than him." Reminded that Renfro was actually just 13 while making the film, [production designer Gemma] Jackson paused. "Thirteen," she said finally. "OK. He was very young. … I guess that would now be a problem, wouldn't it?” In the post, [director James] Merendino wrote that Renfro “had been injecting heroin at 12 years old.” [...] “He told me his mother gave it to him.” So I mean, Brad Renfro was born into trouble. By all counts, he was a kind person who cared about others. It's too bad others didn't care enough about him.
Did anybody pull a gun on this Renfro and tell him he had to do all the drinking, drugging, and lawbreaking, or did he willfully do that all himself, knowing but blowing off the consequences of such actions?
@ModMokkaMatti I'm all for consequences. In this case, the drinking, drugging and law breaking started when he was a young child - even before his first movie. So yes, this is one of the cases where other people SHOULD BE held accountable also. Children need responsible adults to teach them and help them, not hand them the heroin, like his mother did. Consequences aren't intuitive, they need to be taught. Some people AREN'T taught.
Always thought I was the only one. But then H&M hired him for a campaign in the 90s and I realized ok I'm obviously not the only one. 😂 And how could you not love him, look at him 6:38
Your friendly reminder that Bryan Singer killed Brad Renfro. He was 15. And only 26 when he passed away. RIP Brad.
Requiescat in pace. 🕯🕊 I haven't heard about this. I have to learn what happened, so sad.
What did Bryan Singer have to do with Ghost World though?
