Corey Feldman, best known for smooth talking and his future plans to join the Israeli Defense Forces, chats about his indiscretions (under the Button ... or so he claims) and freshman shenanigans. But beware, this Mortar Board and TEP senior is no Goonie and will never be a Lost Boy.
Street: What don’t most people know about you?
Corey Feldman: I intern at the Israeli consulate four days a week. I’m also a non-profit speaker for Darfur alert coalition and Save Darfur coalition. I’ve spoken to about 4,000 high school and college students about the genocide in Darfur.
Street: There are two types of people at Penn ...
CF: Those who share the same name as an eighties actor and those who do not.
Street: Last purchase?
CF: Cowboy boots from Overstock.com
Street: Any guilty pleasures?
CF: Singing karaoke. Specifically Frank Sinatra.
Street: Your stories are apparently legendary, so tell us your shortest most awesome story ever.
CF: Freshman year I borrowed a keg from a fraternity party and got it into the quad via the package room circa 4 a.m. We then threw a weekend-long rager, which is approximately how long it took my extended hall to finish the beer.
Street: If you could have a superpower for a day what would it be?
CF: The ability to bring my childhood friend Corey Haim back to life. I find myself trying to call you but then remember you’re not there. I think about the new movies we will soon be doing together and then suddenly realize that the dream is over. Nobody else will ever know how to do the secret Corey handshake. I love you man.
Street: We hear you’re joining the Israeli Defense Forces next year. What are you most excited for?
CF: I get to sleep with an M-16 every night. The best part is that there are no strings attached, just a strap.
Street: Most memorable moment of your college experience thus far?
CF: Under the Button. That’s right, I said it. We were sort of dating at the time if that makes this any more appropriate. But it probably doesn’t.
