Corey Feldman Claims Johnny Depp Pushed Him Out of ‘Gilbert Grape’

Feldman blames Depp for losing out on Leonardo DiCaprio’s role in the 1993 film ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’

Corey Feldman started his career at the age of 3 and went on to speak candidly about his alleged experiences with abuse as a young person in the entertainment industry. The action-comedy film, directed by Richard Donner, hit theaters in June 1985 and follows the adventures of a group of kids from the Goon Docks area of Astoria, Oregon, who call themselves the Goonies. Later, Feldman had tried out for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, competing with former Goonies costar Sean Astin to play Samwise Gamgee.
