Corey Feldman has said that Johnny Depp pushed him out of a role in 1993 film What’s Eating Gilbert Grape because he thought he was a “junkie”.
The 53-year-old actor, known best for his work in Eighties movies such as Gremlins, The Goonies and Stand by Me, said he was originally cast to play Arnie, Depp’s on-screen younger brother. However, the role was given to Leonardo DiCaprio after the complaint. Di Caprio went on to secure an Oscar nomination for his performance.
