Corey Feldman Accuses Johnny Depp of Blocking His Role in ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’
In a recent podcast, Corey Feldman alleges Johnny Depp intervened to have him removed from the 1993 film ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,’ a role that went to Leonardo DiCaprio. Feldman says Depp called him a “junkie” just after he got sober, costing him a career‑defining part. He also claims he was in the running for Titanic’s Jack Dawson. The actor says the missed opportunities still haunt him today.
