Edward Furlong: ‘Terminator 2’ Star Falling Apart

Edward Furlong — the promising star who struggled with heroin and cocaine addiction — was unrecognizable as the "Terminator 2" kid went strolling in a shopping mall in Los Angeles. The shocking sight was the latest bad turn for the actor who once shared a career path with Leonardo DiCaprio!

Edward — seen here with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie that made him a star — didn't handle fame well after debuting in 1991's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." He enjoyed other starring roles, and even had success in Japan as a pop star. Drugs, however, soon had him on the sidelines.

Edward first went into rehab in October 2000, and admitted that he spent most of his early adulthood being "on and off" hard drugs — admitting that "I was a heroin and cocaine addict. It was really scary!"

In 2013, The National ENQUIRER caught Furlong already back in bad shape — with photographs showing what looked suspiciously like track marks on his arms from injecting drugs. He was also busted for violating a restraining order filed by his ex-wife. That same year, he avoided a jail sentence after agreeing to spend 90 days in rehab for his addictions.

“Edward can’t seem to get this life together,” a friend said at the time. He remained working in low-budget productions, although Edward's career seems to be in a lull. He hasn't been in one new film in 2016, after several years of knocking out five movies a year. But that frees up plenty of time to hit the mall with on-again/off-again girlfriend Monica Keena — who got her own start in the '90s as a regular on "Dawson's Creek."
