In the new documentary “Corey Feldman vs. The World,” actor Corey Feldman claims that his late friend and co-star Corey Haim molested him while they were filming the 1987 movie “The Lost Boys.”

Feldman and Haim rose to fame as teenagers and became Hollywood heartthrobs in the 1980s. They worked together on popular films including “License to Drive” and “Dream a Little Dream.” Haim passed away in 2010 at the age of 38.

In the documentary, Feldman recounts a conversation with Haim during the filming of “The Lost Boys.” “When we did ‘Lost Boys,’ Corey said to me, ‘Hey man, let’s mess around,’” Feldman says.

“And I said, ‘What do you mean?’” Feldman alleges that Haim told him, “This is what, you know, what guys in the business do, right? You know, you s***** each other’s d**** or you f**** around, you do this stuff.”

Feldman added that Haim claimed Charlie Sheen had told him it was acceptable. Sheen has denied these claims, calling them “sick, twisted and outlandish allegations [that] never occurred. Period.”

Feldman explains that although he knew Haim’s intentions, he arranged for him to come over. “I called [Haim] and said, ‘Come over.’ But you know, when you have got somebody that’s trying to come onto you s******, and you don’t want that, and you are a kid, and you are scared, you do whatever you can to stop it from happening. And that’s what was happening. I was being molested by Corey Haim. Truth be told,” Feldman tells filmmaker Marcie Hume.

Feldman has long spoken about being a victim of sexual abuse in Hollywood alongside Haim. In 2017, he started the “Truth Campaign” to raise funds for a documentary exposing abuse in the industry, which resulted in the 2020 film “My Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys.” That earlier film focused on abuse they suffered as children but did not mention Haim abusing Feldman.

Hume says filming Feldman was emotionally intense. “It was an incredibly emotional moment where Corey was almost reliving what that was like to live in this hyper****** environment as child actors in Hollywood,” she tells Variety.

The new documentary began as a project to follow Feldman and his all-female band, “Corey’s Angels,” during a 2017 tour. “Corey wanted to tell his truth,” Hume says.

The documentary also shows controversial aspects of Feldman’s life with his band. Some former band members described strict rules about diet, clothing, and showering, along with claims that they were not paid.

One former member called it a “straight-up s** cult.” Hume says the film explores Feldman’s contradictions and layers without providing all the answers. “Part of what emerged with this film is opening up as many questions as possible and opening up the view of Corey,” she explains.
