Edward Furlong

Edward Furlong rose to prominence for his breakthrough performance in the 1991 movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day as John Connor. This film alone earned him a Saturn and MTV Movie Awards. At the time, he was only 12 years old and had worked with one of the biggest names in the industry, Arnold Schwarzenegger. It should’ve been a good start for the now-43-year-old actor. He went on to do Pet Sematary Two in 1992 and was also part of American History X in 1998.

But, everything went into a downward spiral. At the age of 15 and with his lawyer’s help, Furlong filed for emancipation from his aunt and uncle, who raised him. Although he won, it’s hard to say it was a fortunate thing for him after experiencing difficulties living alone. In 2020, an article discussed the past problems of Furlong, his family and the industry as a whole. Since then, he seems to have restored his relationship with his mother.
