At 13, Edward Furlong became a global icon as John Connor in Terminator 2 — and now, 35 years later, he reflects on that seismic role with deep gratitude. He credits James Cameron for making him feel safe and supported on set, and praises Arnold Schwarzenegger’s professionalism and uplifting presence. Working alongside Linda Hamilton also helped him grow as an actor. But fame at such a young age came with crushing pressure — and Furlong candidly shares how his early stardom led to personal struggles, including substance abuse and legal battles. Now seven years sober, he’s found healing in recovery and continues to find meaning in acting. He recently reunited with his Terminator 2 castmates and remains awestruck by the film’s enduring legacy — a testament to both his journey and the power of cinema.
