“As critical and prescient as you become in this town, all I did was cry when I heard the news. I feel in some respects like we all failed.”
Brad Renfro’s lawyer, Blair Berk, who has also represented Lindsay Lohan and Mel Gibson.
Brad was found dead in his LA apartment yesterday. An autopsy is planned for Thursday. It is expected they’ll find that Brad died of a drug overdose.
Still not real to me.
Soooooooooo fucking unfair.
So sad. This should be a wake up call to young Hollywood that they need to think about the future. I remember when this was the kid we all had pictures of in our Trapper Keepers…he was such an adorable kid.
25…I mean seriously parents are supposed to keep tabs on kids even when they are in their 20s…parenthood doesn’t end and its just sad he didn’t have anybody get him on the right track.
A lot of these heart throbs die young…thank god Brad Pitt is still with us.
Seriously very sad. Britney’s next.
I will admit I also cried when I heard about Brad. Is that lame?, considering I didn’t know him personally. It’s very sad and VERY unreal. Out of all the shit going on he’s the last person I expected to hear passed away. I wathced BULLY, and actually shed a tear. Celebs go in 3’s, he’s the first of the year, one down two to go. Please lord(!) don’t let be Britney, no joke.

Out of all the crazy shit going on he was the last person I expected to hear passed away, I watched BULLY and shed a tear. Hey guys, celebs go in 3’s and Brad was the first. One down,two to go. Please LORD(!) don’t let it be Britney.
I hate this. I know he wasn’t wildly famous, but I’ve known who he is & his work for along time. I remember thinking what a good looking kid he was in “the Cure” & “sleepers” and how talented. Talented enough to still get quite a few roles ( even if they were “Indys”) with all of the arrests & known drug problems. I really thought he was going to be able to turn his life & career around after the yacht arrest & subsequent rehab stay. I hope he is remembered as more than just a cautionary tale. ………. Also how sad is it that when they find celebrity OD’s ( John Belushi , Chris Farley , Layne Staley , etc.) they are always alone a day or so later. Why are these people SOOO isolated?
This young man has been working since he was 12 years old. He was raised by his grandmother and has a lot of weight to carry for a child. I’ve loved him since he played in “The Client”. God Bless The Child…
Wow, I had just watched Bully on IFC the night before it was reported he was dead, and I thought …. he is so fucking hot. Well, not as Marty Puccio, Marty was kinda dumb, but Brad has always made me tingle.
Very sad for Brad I must say I was shocked and shagrinned.
Maybe it’s because it’s 12:40 in the afternoon and the vicodins are already working their magic. Or maybe it’s because I have the depressive kind of pms this time around… but I simply can’t believe he’s dead. It just sucks. I want to wrap my arms around him and snap my fingers and make it all better for him…. :(
