Edward Furlong, the talented actor who rose to fame as a teenager in the early 90s, is set to make a comeback at the Melbourne Metro Comic Con this weekend. The 48-year-old actor, best known for his role as John Connor in the sci-fi classic Terminator 2: Judgment Day, will be reunited with his co-star Linda Hamilton in a special guest panel and meet-and-greet event.
Furlong's career took off at just 13 years old when he landed the iconic role opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. However, despite his early success, he struggled with years of drug problems and entered rehab for the first time in 2000. The actor has been open about his troubled past, citing the pressures of fame as a contributing factor to his struggles.
After a series of high-profile struggles, including a stint in prison and a string of run-ins with the law, Furlong has been working to turn his life around. In 2022, he revealed that he had been sober for four years, and he has since spoken publicly about the challenges of staying sober in the entertainment industry.
Furlong's most recent film credit is the 2024 movie Unspeakable: Beyond The Wall Of Sleep. Fans of his iconic movie debut will be thrilled to see it re-released in the US on August 28 and the UK on September 4 to mark the film's 35th anniversary.
Organizers of the Melbourne Metro Comic Con are excited to have Furlong and Hamilton on board for the event. "Metro Citizens, there is no fate but what we make!" they exclaimed in a social media post. "We are absolutely stoked to announce that 90s icon EDWARD FURLONG is heading to Metro Comic Con!"
Furlong and Hamilton will be joining other notable guests at the event, which promises to be a must-attend for fans of the Terminator franchise and science fiction enthusiasts alike.
As Furlong prepares to take the stage alongside his co-star, fans are eagerly anticipating a reunion that promises to be truly unforgettable.
