Brad Renfro died at 25 email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. princesslexie1001 (1212)8 months ago

Anyone ever remember young hollywood actor Brad Renfro? He's a promising child actor that appeared in hollywood hits such as the Client...
Well, he was found dead last tuesday in his Los Angeles home at the age of 25.
My girlfriends and i were fanatics and huge fans of Brad back when we were preteens...
He was just the sweetest, most incredibly gifted young actor to come along for some time.... and i can't believe that he already passed away...
Although the cause of death has not yet been determined, it does not look like foul play.
He had reportedly been drinking with friends the evening before his death...
Brad has had a long history of drug and alcohol problems and arrests and it wouldn’t be surprising to find this is another Hollywood overdose.
God Bless you Brad and may you never lose your way as God is with you now...
XOXOX

Hello dear princesslexie. There seems to be quite some movie stars taking drugs and alcohol in their daily life, which could lead to some unexpected diseases and death to them. I hope that more and more people will be able to realize this and resist taking drugs and overdrink alcohol for their own good. Thanks.

it's so sad that people die at a tender age... abusing their bodies and not realizing the consequences...
it's such a shame that life ends just like that...
it really doesn't matter how long you live but i just wish people could say that it was a life well-lived...
such a great loss...
thanks for your comments williamjisir

I was totally horrified and upset at such a horrific early death, I remember Brad Renfro who starred alongside Ian McKellen in Stephen King's Apt Pupil, he was a very very good actor! What a sad waste of a life, 25 is no age is it. He was quite a good looker too wasn't he. I agree he was very talented and he could have been a successful actor and would have done so much! Sad day indeed. The film industry will have lost a great actor

Sad story that makes us think a while ... another child star that turned out into all the bad things. It is becoming a habit these days. The name certainly rang a bell for The Cure and Apt Pupil. His parents divorced when he was 6 and was raised by his grandmother in Tennessee and like to play the blues in his guitar, let's remember him for that, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBeTeB_ZGxg

It saddened me to hear of Brad Renfro's passing away and at such a young age when there's supposed to be more in store in life stage. The Client was also one of my favorite court cases movies and I liked Brad there. May his soul rest in peace.

OMG, that is so awful!! He also did a movie called "Bully" that was very good as well. When I saw the movie he looked so familiar to me but it wasn't until much later that I found out that he was the little boy from "The Client".

Another child star actor that died (and I had the BIGGEST crush on) was Johnathan Brandis. I don't know if you knew him but he was in "Ladybugs", "Neverending Story 2" and was in a tv show called "Seaquest". Well he committed suicide when he was 27...I was so crushed when I found out.

It is such a shock when someone dies unexpectedly, but even more so when they are so young!!


myLot reputation of 95/100. princesslexie1001 (1212)  8 months ago

OMG! as in OMG! my jaw literally dropped when i read the name Jonathan Brandis! he was one of our teeny bopper crush as well... i didn't know that... my girlfriends and i used to swoon over him in the Never Ending Movie... and also Ghost Dad... i remember that... oh my, it's really tragic how young hollywood actors die by committing suicide or drug and alcohol abuse... it's just so sad

XOXOX

I was very surprised when I read that, he was a promising young actor. Hollywood seems to have a way of destroying peoples lives. When I read that, I immediately thought of River Phoenix.


myLot reputation of 95/100. princesslexie1001 (1212)  8 months ago

i know... i'm guess it's typical for Hollywood to have tragedies like these... River Phoenix was also one of Young Hollywood's hottest actor... it's just so sad it had to end that way, isn't it?

 
8. myLot reputation of 86/100. leeesa (709)   8 months ago

The name sounds familiar, but I have no idea who he is. I didn't see any mention of it in the news either. It's so sad when young people die.

I just got a chill up my spine when I read your post. I too was a fan of his. There was something about him-just a warmth that he emitted. 25 is so young-only one year older than I am. and it's sad that it took me a whole week to hear about it. I am aware that he had substance abuse problems. It is incredibly sad. What a waste of a talented actor.


myLot reputation of 95/100. princesslexie1001 (1212)  8 months ago

exactly! i heard it on E! and i was also shocked and i couldn't believe what i was hearing... i didn't even get the chance to meet him in person...:(

XOXOX
