Frank Albarran. Corey Haim struggled with cocaine and Valium addiction and was reportedly admitted to rehab more than 15 times.

The Canadian-born heartthrob burst onto the scene in the 1980s and starred in movies such as “License to Drive” and “The Lost Boys.” Corey Haim was often paired with actor Corey Feldman, even as recently as three years ago when the two starred in a reality-TV show.

The two were known as “the two Coreys” before seeing it all evaporate after public battles with drugs, alcohol and the law.

In a 2007 interview with “Nightline,” Haim spoke about fighting his drug addiction.

“I feel like … I ruined myself to the point where I wasn’t functional enough to work for anybody, even myself. I wasn’t working,” Haim said. “You know, if I’m not working, how anybody else can expect me to work for them if I’m not working. I mean physically working. My brain wasn’t working.”

Haim told “Nightline” that he empathized with Lindsay Lohan, who had been arrested for alleged cocaine possession and driving under the influence, and reportedly went back to rehab for a third time.
