Corey Feldman has no idea what it's like not to be famous. After all, he starred in a McDonald's ad when he was just 3 years old.
"I literally was famous before I knew my own name," he said in an interview with ABC News' "Nightline."
The ad led to roles in films such as "Stand By Me," "Goonies" and "License to Drive." He was a household name before he could read.
But being famous and underage, he said, caused serious damage to him and his friends, including loss of innocence and a lost childhood.
Watch the full story on the "Primetime Nightline: Celebrity Secrets" special "Underage and Famous," on ABC.
"I can tell you that the No. 1 problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia. That's the biggest problem for children in this industry. ... It's the big secret," Feldman said.
"I was surrounded by [pedophiles] when I was 14 years old. … Didn't even know it. It wasn't until I was old enough to realize what they were and what they wanted … till I went, Oh, my God. They were everywhere," Feldman, 40, said.
The trauma of pedophilia contributed to the 2010 death of his closest friend and "The Lost Boys" co-star, Corey Haim, Feldman said.
"There's one person to blame in the death of Corey Haim. And that person happens to be a Hollywood mogul.

You’ll get no argument on that from me. Have a great evening.
Will Geer was a member of the CPUSA so I’m not suprised.
Perfectly captures the sodomy reflected in their eyes.
Lust, power, greed, and hatred.
We also see his primary political base.
He may not be doing a lot of acting but he’s still living in the area and attending parties and hanging out with people. So if he did name names, he’d be locked out of the social and nightlife activities. He’ll probably write a book when he’s in his 60s. This whole thing is evil and sad.
Ralph Waite, the father on The Waltons and an ordained Presbyterian minister, preached a sermon at a nearby church when I was a kid in Chino, in Southern California. His message was on the evils of Hollywood and never letting your kids work there.
I think any parent who exposes their kid to Hollywood is guilty of child abuse.
I don’t quite see how speaking against Hollywood pedophilia is “bloviating about public policy”.
If he was being abused by men this is "ephebophilia" not "pedophilia". Ephebophilia is strictly A HOMOSEXUAL PROBLEM.
Yes, you do! Sadly, they’ve created some of the most memorable films in modern cinematography.
The distinction between the two is based on the age of the victim, not the sexual preference of the offender.
On TCM they have interviews with old hollywood people. One night they interviewed an executive assistant who worked at one of the big studios in the 1940’s. He said Elizabeth Taylor and her mother came to sit at their table to meet the head honchos. She was 11 or 12 years old dressed provocatively with a little snake drapped around her neck . He said the snake kept dipping his head down her chest into her blouse and every hollywood guy at the table wanted to be that snake.
It was amazing that the old guy had no trouble telling this story nor did he seem to feel any shame over it.
And people in Hollywood have ways of making sure witnesses don’t talk.
That’s a perfect explanation as to how Cosby got away with his escapades for years. He had handlers who made sure his witnesses didn’t talk.
And think about all the closeted gay actors, who have sex with hundreds of other men, and yet they can stay in the closet.....How does that happen?
It’s a conspiracy in the truest sense. That’s why they only want to work with fellow travelers. They know who they can trust.
Where did Michael Jackson grow up? or rather where did he age?
Famous has-beens, sad to say. Look them up on IMDB.com.
Corey Feldman and his wife ended up supporting Cory Haim on and off through the years of drug abuse until his overdose death. They even tried to make money with a reality TV show,"The Two Coreys", where they aired their ugly wretched story a few years ago.
