| | | Brad Renfo Dies
Brad Renfro Dies - TMZ.com - Entertainment News, Celebrity Gossip and Hollywood Rumors
The 25-year-old actor was found dead at his Los Angeles home this morning. The cause of death has not been determined, however, Renfro had a history of drug abuse.
Sources tell us Renfro, who had starring roles in "The Client" and "Apt Pupil" had been working valiantly to stay clean, especially since this summer. Renfro had been convicted of several drug offenses, including attempted heroin possession.
Renfro had been filming a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton. The movie, "The Informers," just wrapped.
Renfro has had a rough time personally since moving from Tennessee to Los Angeles. His parents split, and we're told he did not have real guidance from adults as he tried navigating the treacherous movie industry. |

| | I was really shocked when I saw this too, even though I had heard about his recent drug related arrests and everything. I feel really bad. He was in Tom and Huck with JTT and I was totally in love with him when I was a kid.  |

| |  Well sad.
The Client, Bully & Ghost World have all been obsessions of mine at one point or another.

| | | I am not surprised. He's been a fuck up since he was like 11. I knew it was coming. I'm surprised he lasted this long. Now everyone's going to try to turn him into some martyr just like they do with all beautiful men that die young. That is so annoying. The guy was a fuck up he brought it on himself. I'm sad when anyone throws away their life like that but I'm not surprised at all. He was just some screwed up junkie don't make him a martyr just because he was a young actor. I hate to see that. It sends a bad message IMO. And is just plain annoying. |

| | | Geez what an asshole.
Nobody is out to make him a martyr.
God forbid somebody thinks it's sad when someone dies.
I think so too orchestral. |

| | Ok Casey, lets all damn him to hell for being such a fuck up. 
Also, is it just my imagination or do I recall SpankAnthony saying Brad used to lurk here at kr for a while?!

I think so too orchestral. | Oh boo hoo. Get off his dead dick why don't you. Sorry for being brutally honest. But the truth hurts.
And did I not say I was sad too? I'm just saying junkies die everyday and people tend to make a martyr and fallen angel out of the beautiful men that die young and I think it's wrong. And people are already starting on all the message boards acting like silly little fangirls. Trying to immortalize him forever and compare him to River Phoenix.
This guy has been wild and crazy for years! I'm not surprised. I'm saddened but not surprised. Maybe all these other self indulgent hollywood fuck ups like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears should take note. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode | |
