Terminator fans got a welcome treat when original star Edward Furlong posed for a photo with his on-screen parents and his enemy, the T-100, in a long-awaited cast reunion.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day was the 1991 sequel installment to the beloved sci-fi franchise by James Cameron. It was the last time Furlong reprised his role as John Connor, alongside Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Biehn, and villain Robert Patrick.
On Instagram, Patrick shared a cast reunion photo with the caption, “Skynet definitely didn’t have this reunion in the original programming. T2 family back together.”
Seeing the cast back together may have been a blast from the past for fans, as Furlong has been more active in recent years at Comic Cons and special events in relation to some of his most well-known roles. He was only 13-years-old when he starred in the cult classic film and the sequel, as well as beoming one of the ’90s teen hearthrobs.
View this post on InstagramThe reunion marked a rare moment for Furlong, whose career was disrupted in his early 20s due to alcohol and drug abuse that led him to be unable to return for 2000’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Furlong was reported to have entered rehab in October 2000 when he was 23, and initially described his addiction as mostly involving alcohol.
The actor denied having used drugs like heroin and cocaine, but in a 2006 interview, he admitted having used them “on and off” for several years in his mid 20’s.
“When I lost Terminator 3. Oh my God, dude. So much drugs in my life,” Furlong admitted in 2024 on Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum. “That was the contract: They were like, ‘We want you to not do any drugs.’ Whatever, just sign a clause in the contract, no drugs. And it was a sweet deal. It was the best deal that I had ever gotten in my life. For T3, it was like a lot of money, like millions. And I had never made that kind of money. So I called my friends, and I’m like, ‘Guys, I just signed this f‑‑‑ing awesome contract, we’re going to go to the club, we’re going to get a bunch of blow.’”
His night of celebration led the actor to overdose on cocaine and collapse on the floor of the club. As a result, Furlong lost his role in Terminator 3 as they decided, “we’re not going to do it with you.” He admits the ordeal was likely what was best for him, as he entered rehab around the time he lost the role. Since 2025, Furlong has been sober for seven years and returned to the franchise in 2019’s Dark Fate for a facial capture to create a younger version of himself for the film.
