Edward Furlong, the 13-year-old actor who rose to fame alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1991 blockbuster Terminator 2: Judgment Day, is making a comeback. The actor, now 48, will be appearing at the Melbourne Metro Comic Con this weekend to celebrate the film's 35th anniversary.
Furlong's career took off in the early 1990s after he was cast as John Connor, the son of Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor, in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. However, despite his initial success, he struggled with years of drug problems and entered rehab for the first time in 2000.
Speaking in 2024, Furlong revealed that he has been sober for several years and is now focusing on his career. He has recently appeared in a string of convention events, looking unrecognizable from his Terminator days.
The actor will be reunited with his co-star Linda Hamilton at the Melbourne Metro Comic Con, where they will participate in a combined guest panel, professional photo tokens, and an exclusive meet and greet. Fans have been excitedly sharing their anticipation for the event, with many looking forward to seeing the iconic duo reunite.
Furlong's troubled past has been well-documented, with the actor having struggled with addiction and run-ins with the law. However, he has spoken publicly about his efforts to turn his life around and is now focusing on his career and personal well-being.
The actor's most recent film credit is the 2024 movie Unspeakable: Beyond The Wall Of Sleep, and fans of his iconic movie debut will soon have the chance to see it on the big screen again as it is being re-released in the US on August 28 and the UK on September 4 to mark the film's 35th anniversary.
