My crush to so sad.

loveliesbleeding1 · 01/12/2013 10:27

No, not at all, it's incredibly sad.

Shinyshoes1 · 01/12/2013 10:28

Yanbu

I didn't know who he was . I don't watch racing car films

I cried , played Stand By Me on a loop AND lit a candle when Corey Haim died ..... Oh the shame Grin

TidyDancer · 01/12/2013 10:48

Corey Haim wasn't in Stand By Me....was he? Corey Feldman was, but I'm fairly certain he's still alive!

Very sad about Paul Walker. I loved him since She's All That.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 01/12/2013 10:50

Erm, yes, Corey Feldman in Stand By Me. Some fan you are Shiny Grin

Both Corey's were in The Lost Boys. And Feldman is very much still alive!

DottyDot · 01/12/2013 10:50

Me too Sad. So sad. Having two ds's, we've watched the fast and furious films many times and we loved him.

Shinyshoes1 · 01/12/2013 10:52

Oooooh I mean River Pheonix

Oh FFs how did make that mistake Hmm

Ladyjaxo · 01/12/2013 10:54

Yanbu cried too.

HoHolepew · 01/12/2013 10:55

It's very sad. I can't believe photos of his car on fire are online . The poor man is still in the car in them.

newestbridearound · 01/12/2013 10:57

So awful and tragic, for both him and his companion. The photos are very distressing to see. It is incredibly sad.

QueenofallIsee · 01/12/2013 11:00

Gutted, I love the fast and furious series and it is so so sad

specialsubject · 01/12/2013 11:12

never heard of him, but clearly the 'experienced driver' (the other guy, also dead) wasn't. Two pointlessly wasted lives. Very sad.

MrsDavidBowie · 01/12/2013 12:14

I've never heard of him either.
Horrible way to go.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 01/12/2013 12:15

Never heard of him but very sad for anyone to go that way.

tweetytwat · 01/12/2013 12:16

I had to Google him, didn't know who he wasBlush

Guttersnipe · 01/12/2013 12:17

YANBU at all, though I personally had never heard of him until today. He looks a lovely man. I cried the other day at the news of my teenage crush, Lewis Collins, death. Sad

Caitlin17 · 01/12/2013 12:37

I don't know who he is but I do recall not even knowing River Pheonix had died until I saw his obituary in The Guardian at lunch at work ( remember this was pre everyone having internet) and I cried. Not because I had a crush on him but because it was such a loss. His performances in Stand by Me, Running on Empty and My Own Private Idaho were outstanding.

manticlimactic · 01/12/2013 12:41

Are people who are crying over this, crying for the other person who died too? They didn't know him either.

doodlealltheday · 01/12/2013 12:50

He was my crush too. Was at the top of my list of 'film stars I want to marry' for pretty much all of my teenaged years, I was a bit of a mad obsessive about him. So sad

ShinyBauble · 01/12/2013 16:06

I never watch car films. Actually I had never heard of this guy before. It's weird that some minor stars suddenly attain huge fame when they die.

I'm not mocking though. Actually I hadn't thought about Corey Haim in years, but it also upset me a lot when he died. And I felt guilty that I didn't try to support his career when i had a chance Sad

FreakinScaryCaaw · 01/12/2013 16:08

I didn't cry but it is very sad. Awful to have the graphic photos online I was shocked at that.

LuciusMalfoyisSmokingHot · 01/12/2013 16:12

Theres actually pictures of the car on fire, horrific.

Madmammy83 · 01/12/2013 18:43

I've a 9 year old and Paul Walker was his hero, he even begged me for some of the same clothes he wore in the F&F films. He was gutted when he heard. I bawled my eyes out when I heard about Heath Ledger. And David Kelly, even though he was about a hundred. He always reminded me of my own Grandad.

sparklysilversequins · 01/12/2013 19:34

I did too. I've never cried at a celeb death before but this really got to me for some reason.

mumofbeautys · 01/12/2013 20:14

I wouldn't call him a minor celeb who would get famous because his died.. fast and furious are very well know films amongst other films he was in i.e she's all that . he was a nice guy and was famous for being an actor rather than a actor/singer whos sniffing coke utterly sad he went that way.. he was one celeb I wouldn't mind my children looking up to bless him and his daughter.
