"Catching Up With Corey Haim"
February 1989 "Wild. Animal. Lunatic. Crazy." Those are just a few of the words that cuddly-cute Corey Haim laughingly used to describe himself. His good buddy and frequest co-star, Corey Feldman, also adds "outgoing and funny" to the list, but even that doesn't completely sum up this complex teen star. That's why TEEN BEAT went straight to the source and asked the Haim-man all about himself in an up close interview! Teen Beat: Did you ever study acting? Corey Haim: Not really. Back in Toronto I did improvisation and stuff with my friend's mom who is an acting teacher for kids. But I've never taken a drama class in my life. Teen Beat: How does it feel to watch yourself in a movie? Corey Haim: When I see myself on the big screen, it's like it isn't me. Teen Beat: Do you prefer working with teen stars your own age? Corey Haim: No, not at all. I love working with adults. I like hearing about their experiences. Besides, they're just like older kids to me! Teen Beat: How do you go about picking a new movie role? Corey Haim: I discuss it with my dad, my mom, and my sister. Then I call my agents. In the end, it's up to me. Teen Beat: What do you think you might have done instead if you weren't an actor? Corey Haim: I'd probably be playing pro hockey. Teen Beat: Do you have any hobbies you enjoy when you aren't working? Corey Haim: I play the synthesizer and sing. Teen Beat: Your upcoming flick with Corey Feldman is called LICENSE TO DRIVE. Are you into cars? Corey Haim: Oh yeah. I've got a charcoal grey Subaru XT, and my dream car has always been a Vector W2 Twin Turbo Engine. Teen Beat: What is your personal favorite of all the films you've made so far? Corey Haim: That would be LOST BOYS because everybody was so great and I got to make a lot of friends. Teen Beat: Who do you consider very cool? Corey Haim: Mel Gibson is the coolest. Brooke McCarter of THE LOST BOYS is very cool. Teen Beat: Are you seeing anyone right now? Corey Haim: Yeah, La La Zappa is my girlfriend right now. Teen Beat: So what's next for Corey Haim? Corey Haim: Right after LICENSE TO DRIVE, Corey Feldman and I are going to work together one more time of a pic called LONG BEFORE TOMORROW (later named DREAM A LITTLE DREAM!). Teen Beat: Do you have any messages for all your loyal fans? Corey Haim: Thanks a lot, especially for all the great messages you write! |
