Corey Feldman Accuses Johnny Depp of Sabotaging His Role in ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’
Former child star Corey Feldman says Johnny Depp used his influence to get him dropped from the 1993 film What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Feldman claims Depp labeled him a junkie just as he was getting sober, costing him a breakout role later taken by Leonardo DiCaprio. He also alleges he missed out on Titanic. The allegations highlight Hollywood’s backstage power plays.
