Corey Feldman came onstage and then backstage and talked to
me, I was thinking, ‘I am the biggest Goonies
fan and you’re in the same room with me, what an honor!’
And I took his picture, I put it on my Instagram. It was just
amazing.”

monthly, also interviewed Corey Feldman moments before
the musical’s premiere. |
PopStop
TV: You’ve been
to so many different red carpet events here in Hollywood.
What do you think makes this one stand out the most? |
Corey
Feldman: It’s
beautiful. Have you ever seen anything like this?
It’s like “It’s a Small World” but
for real.
PopStop
TV: That’s
what I was saying.
Corey Feldman: Exactly,
it’s amazing, all these beautiful countries and
continents represented here today. It’s a true
representation of world peace and all beings being one,
together as one, living in peace and harmony. It’s
a beautiful thing. |
A talented musician, Mr. Feldman has released two solo
music albums. With his band, Corey Feldman’s Truth Movement,
he would release two more albums and perform throughout the US
to dozens of sold-out audiences.
He has continued to star in various screen productions,
such as the TV series Dweebs, The Surreal Life, Lucky
Fritz, Terror Inside, and The Birthday, the latter
two of which earned him the Best Actor honor twice at major international
film festivals.
In 2005, Mr. Feldman made his stage debut in the Off-Broadway
play Fatal Attraction: A Greek Tragedy. He also lent his
voice for Sparx-77 in Disney’s still-running animated show

Mr. Feldman once explained his outlook in life in dealing
with his success and pressures of the entertainment industry as
follows: “I’m not a religious person, but I am a spiritual
person. I’m a positive person. At the end of the day, no
matter how much negative energy has been thrown at me, or just
terrible situations – I think my greatest tool and asset
is that I’m able to just deflect it. No matter how dark
times get, it doesn’t matter, because they can always get
better.”

On
the red carpet for the premiere of Loving the
Silent Tears, Corey Feldman was interviewed
by Time TV, a global satellite TV network
broadcasting in both Persian and English to millions
of viewers in North America.
Time
TV: How do you feel about
today’s event?
Corey
Feldman: I feel today’s
event is a beautiful, spiritual, uplifting,
amazing journey, and I’m very excited
to just sit and watch and be a part of
it.
Time
TV: What
made you want to be a part of an event
like this?
Corey
Feldman: Of course being
here to celebrate the 19th Anniversary
of Supreme Master Ching Hai’s beautiful
day, I was very touched and honored that
they would think of me. Very blessed.
Time
TV: For those who don’t
know, can you let them know what the message
behind Loving the Silent Tears is?
Corey
Feldman: The message for
all of us is that we all need to live in
peace, love, and harmony with all of our
fellow creatures and all beings on this
planet. I think that’s something
that we all seem to forget along the way.
We get caught up with all the drama and
negativity and all the obstacles, and all
the things that society, politics – they
put this fear-based idea in our heads and
make us believe that we need to live and
abide by that. When, in actuality, those
are the things that we need to ignore,
those are the things we need to shut out.
We need to open ourselves to the true inner
love, God’s love, and peace. |

The beloved actor, musician, and producer has been a
committed vegetarian for 27 years, during which time he has worked
with a number of charities for environmental and animal protection.
As one of the four veg MCs hosting the premiere of Loving the
Silent Tears, he shared, “I feel quite honored and humbled
to be here, to be a part of this momentous occasion, to be celebrating
the 19th anniversary of Supreme Master Ching Hai Day. It’s
beautiful, obviously, to be part of something which is meant to
send a message of bringing peace and harmony to all living creatures,
all living beings on this planet; it is the most important thing
we can do. Because at the end of the day, it’s not those
things that we hang on to, the material world, that matters. It
can all be swept away, and we’re all going to be the same,
whether we have those things or not. But what matters is what
you have right here [pointing to his heart] and right here [pointing
to the center of his forehead]. So as long as you keep it in your
heart and your soul, you’ll be okay.”

With Mr. Feldman lending his strong voice for the noble
cause of fostering peace and love for both humans and animals,
we have one more reason to hope that a loving vegan world may
soon be our cherished reality.
