I almost dropped the Snapple that I was gulping when I clicked on Yahoo!s page and was greeted by Former Child Star Dies with Brad Renfros picture next to it. Brad fucking Renfro. One of my childhood crushes. One of those kids who, like Elijah Wood, Sean Astin or Dakota Fanning, had such potential and who could definitely hold own against such movie heavyweights as Sean Penn, Tommy Lee Jones, and Susan Sarandon. Brad Renfro of The Client fame. Dead at age 25.

For some reason most of the young heartthrobs that I used to gaze adoringly at the pages of Teen Beat, Tiger Beat and Bop! end up ODing on something or getting into freak accidents. Jonathan Brandis [The Neverending Story] died in a car accident. River Phoenix ODd on cocaine. And now, Brad Renfro, dead at 25, of unknown causes. Although I have a sneaking suspicion drugs were once again involved.

Renfro has been in and out of rehab for most of his career. Though a tremendous actor, he had a striking similarity with his brad renfro dead character Mark from The Client: A bit of a bad boy and extremely troubled. Apart from wowing audiences with his first film, Renfro has been in various other commendable movies, including Apt Pupil, opposite Ian McKellen. Directed by Bryan Singer, Apt Pupil was one of those films that made you think, and it was also one of those films where Renfro was so good that you almost forgot that Ian McKellen was costarring in brad renfro dead film too. Renfro was also in The Cure, Sleepers, Tom and Huck and Ghost World. 

It was pretty nostalgic for me to see someone I watched when I was a kid end up on the news like that. Dead at age 25. So young, with so much talent. R.I.P., Brad Renfro.
