Why child-star advocate Corey Feldman agreed to record Halloween song with Flavor Flav's 4-year-old son: 'I was just amazed at his energy and his talent'
Actor and musician Corey Feldman is famous for his roles in Halloween classics like The Lost Boys (and its two sequels), Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Gremlins, The Goonies, Bordello of Blood, and Corbin Nash. So, when next-generation child star Jordan Drayton, aka 4-year-old viral singer JRD, needed a duet partner for his spooky-season single “Here Comes Halloween,” Feldman, who’d become fast friends with JRD after they met at one of his pool parties, was the logical person to ask.
However, it might be surprising to some fans that Feldman, who has long campaigned against child exploitation in show business and has been very vocal about how he was forced into an acting career when he was just a toddler himself, would sign on for such a project. “
I'm not really a big fan or supporter of kids in the industry. I think everybody knows that. So, I don't really like to push a child-working agenda. That's not really my thing,” Feldman, 52, admits to Yahoo Entertainment. But Feldman could tell from their first meeting through their mutual attorney, Anita Rivas, that JRD — the son of Public Enemy rapper/Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Flavor Flav and entertainment executive Kate Gammell — was born to do this.
