OMG,’ one person wrote.Furlong appears to have gotten his life back on track after some difficult years. As John Connor in T2, Furlong was mankind’s last hope, a messianic figure charged with freeing humanity from the vice-like grip of robotic tyranny in a post-apocalyptic, war-ravaged world. It was also an opportunity for Furlong to establish himself as one of Hollywood’s hottest young actors after winning his iconic breakout role in James Cameron’s 1991 classic. Aged just 13, Furlong had no acting credits to his name when he was cast as a wayward, teenage Connor alongside Schwarzenegger’s iconic T-800 Terminator – a killing machine transported from the year 2029 to protect our future leader from peril. Taking full advantage of pioneering physical, special and cosmetic effects that still look remarkably fresh some 35 years after its initial release, Terminator 2 helped redefine what was possible in cinema, while making hundreds of millions of dollars in profit.
