縱觀影史童星,有人年少成名,不負眾望,歸來依然耀眼;而有人卻因各種原因墮落,最終泯然眾人。?愛德華·弗朗(Edward Furlong)就是其中一個典型代表。他的美貌曾驚艷了時光,被形容為“瞎子也看得見”。??曾經(jīng)的他,笑容又甜又暖,盡顯青春的少年氣息??冷漠的眼神,讓他也有著成年男性的誘惑吸引力??是可以和小李子比帥的“翩翩美少年”:??愛德華·弗朗1977年8月2日出生于美國加利福尼亞州格倫代爾市,他不是父母愛情的結(jié)晶,而是廝混的結(jié)果。?他和親生父親素不相識,母親再婚,繼父對他也不好,甚至可以說是虐待,因此,他的童年生活充滿不幸。原生家庭帶來的影響,需要用一生來治愈,這句話也是愛德華·弗朗的真實寫照。?Edward came from a broken home and never met his father — while his mom endured personal struggles that considerably hampered her ability to care for her son.愛德華來自一個破碎的家庭,他從未見過他的父親——而他的母親也處于自我掙扎中,這使她無暇顧及兒子。??13歲那年,愛德華的人生迎來了轉(zhuǎn)機。他偶然遇到了一位選角經(jīng)紀人,這位經(jīng)紀人一眼就看中了他的美貌,并推薦他去試鏡。?于是,在1991年的大片《終結(jié)者2》中,愛德華與演員阿諾德·施瓦辛格同臺飆戲,從一個普通人變成了熒幕上的明星。?“Terminator 2: Judgement Day” was his entry into the film industry, and this successful film enabled Edward to continue his career, and become a star, as he earned a Saturn and MTV Awards for the Breakthrough Performance.《終結(jié)者2:審判日》標志著他開始進入電影行業(yè),這部成功的電影使愛德華能夠繼續(xù)他的演藝事業(yè),并成為一名明星,因為他獲得了土星獎和MTV電影獎最佳突破性角色獎。??90年代是愛德華大放異彩的時候,他出演一系列超級成功且廣受好評的電影,所有這些角色都對他的名聲產(chǎn)生了積極的影響。1992年,他和杰夫·布里吉斯出演《美國之心》,1996年和梅麗爾·斯特里普出演《天倫劫》。?He was working with all these huge names so early in his career that people were assuming that his star was going to rise to unbelievable levels.在他早期職業(yè)生涯中,他與所有這些大牌明星合作,人們認為他的明星地位會上升到難以置信的水平。??無疑,他是一個有才華、有天賦的演員,1998年他在《美國X檔案》的表演也證明了這一點,劇中的光頭造型讓人眼前一亮,但這也是他最后一個重要角色。??自21世紀初以來,愛德華·弗朗的職業(yè)生涯一直在走下坡路,他涉及到的法律問題越來越多。?其實在他演藝事業(yè)輝煌的時候,他就不斷被他麻煩重重的家庭生活所影響,媽媽、姨媽、舅舅都在爭奪他的撫養(yǎng)權(quán),誰都不愿意失去一個行走的金庫,僅有十幾歲的他就一直在為自己的撫養(yǎng)權(quán)打官司。?Edward Furlong had the world at his feet after starring in the 1991 film, "Terminator 2." However, his bright acting career was almost eclipsed by his troubled family life involving a desperate custody battle.愛德華·弗朗在出演1991年的電影《終結(jié)者2》后,前程似錦。但是他輝煌的演藝事業(yè)的幾乎被他麻煩重重的家庭生活所掩蓋,他陷入絕望的監(jiān)護權(quán)之爭。??而自從愛德華進入電影界以來,他的個人生活也充滿了爭議。1992年,他與比自己大15歲的杰奎琳約會,她是愛德華的私人教師,后來成為了他的經(jīng)紀人。?Edward and Jacqueline became a couple three years after they met, and he later moved in with her that same year, at the age of 16. While speaking about his relationship with his former tutor, he said:"She is my first crush. I totally believe in love at first sight."愛德華和杰奎琳相識三年后就成了一對,同年他搬去和杰奎琳同居,當時他16歲。在談到他與前導(dǎo)師的關(guān)系時,他說:“她是我的初戀。我完全相信一見鐘情?!?/span>??那時愛德華還不到二十歲,年輕的沖動叛逆,以及對愛情的懵懂無知使這段感情注定會出現(xiàn)裂痕。?1999年,二人分手,杰奎琳甚至起訴愛德華對她行使家庭暴力,要求拿走他總收入的15%。這段感情結(jié)束后,愛德華開始沉溺于吸毒和酗酒,他的演藝事業(yè)也因此遭到巨大打擊。?Furlong's substance abuse problem was a recurring theme of his 20s and 30s, as he shuttled in and out of rehab.在弗朗二三十歲時,他反復(fù)出現(xiàn)藥物濫用問題,經(jīng)常進出戒毒所。??2006年,他與Rachael Bella結(jié)婚,并育有一子,但這段關(guān)系并沒有持續(xù)多久。吸毒、家暴這一系列問題反復(fù)出現(xiàn)在他們的婚姻中,2009年,他的妻子要求離婚,離婚后弗朗只能在監(jiān)督下探視孩子。?Bella claimed that their son tested positive for cocaine after being under the care of his father. A court restricted Furlong to only supervised visits of his son.貝拉聲稱他們的兒子在愛德華的照顧下,可卡因檢測呈陽性。法院規(guī)定弗朗只能在監(jiān)督下探視兒子。?He admitted in 2006 that he was "on and off" hard drugs. "I was a cocaine addict. It was really scary."2006年,他承認自己“斷斷續(xù)續(xù)”服用過毒品?!拔沂莻€可卡因癮君子。這真的很可怕?!?/span>?
?
后來弗朗也因吸毒、恐嚇前妻、家暴女友而多次入獄。?但他也一直在努力尋找有意義的電影角色,2019年,被選中在《終結(jié)者:黑暗命運》中扮演一個小角色,但這個角色對弗朗并沒有太大幫助,也沒法幫助他挽回形象。?Interestingly enough, this hasn't really stopped his acting career. While he hasn't been in anything incredibly notable in the last few years, he has been in at least one movie each year, even if it was just in small roles.有趣的是,這并沒有阻止他的演藝事業(yè)。雖然在過去的幾年里,他沒有出演任何令人眼前一亮的著名電影,但他每年至少出演一部電影,即使只是小角色。??原生家庭的黑暗,年少成名帶來的虛化繁榮,混亂的私情,毒品的腐蝕,這些都讓愛德華墜入了痛苦的深淵,在時光中黯然失色,自暴自棄。??看到這樣一個原本可以靠“上天賞臉吃飯”的人成為上癮的受害者,一步一步墮入到如此境地,實在令人扼腕。希望愛德華·弗朗的生活能重回正軌,遠離毒品,繼續(xù)放射光芒。
