Edward Furlong, 46, played young John Connor in Terminator 2. He then had a wild lifestyle and a failed career, which was caused by drugs and alcohol. But now Furlong is trying to get his life back on track. He got new teeth, and he’s dating again.
The paparazzi photographed Edward Furlong, 46, and Monica Kina, 44, strolling through Los Angeles. There is nothing surprising here. Monica is ten years old and sued Furlong. She got a court order to stop him from contacting her.
They’re back together now. Yes, Edward has changed a lot, but he looks better now than he did not long ago. He had new teeth put in a few months ago. His old teeth rotted from years of meth use. Now, he shows them off with a big smile.
Edward Furlong was 13 when he was found on the street and invited to star in Terminator 2: Judgment Day with Arnold Schwarzenegger. What’s up, say? He was a great find!
He couldn’t cope with sudden popularity and big money. He became addicted to alcohol and illegal substances, his career collapsed, and he sank to the bottom.
He became addicted to meth and heroin and was arrested several times. Since 2000, he has been a frequent customer of rehab centers, but it didn’t help. In April 2001, Furlong, 23, was hospitalized after an overdose. This isn’t over.
As for his personal life, Edward Furlong was married to actress Rachel Bella for three years. He got a restraining order in 2009 to stop seeing his wife and son. He punched her in the face during a drug-induced rage.
He dated Monica Kina, a lesser-known actress. He was arrested several times for domestic violence. In 2013, he was ordered to stay away from Monica.
In 2016, Furlong was arrested again for drug problems.
The actor calls this his second chance. He hasn’t used it in five years and is getting better. He even got a role in a horror movie and the chance to work on a set with sober people again. He started again. Monica Keena changed her ways after ten years.
It’s nice to be sober on set again. I go to work and don’t feel hungover. I communicate with other sober people, which is fantastic.
The actor shared photos of his smile before and after. He told me he’s going to use his second chance properly.
In 1991, I was in the spotlight. The role of John Connor came as a surprise and shock to me. I was picked up out of nowhere and immediately in the film. I felt like I was fooling everyone after instant success. I was afraid people would find out who I was. When I was younger, I was left to chance. I needed to learn how to manage money. If I were older, I’d make better decisions.
