It's been more than two decades since Corey Haim's role in the vampire classic The Lost Boys catapulted him to teen fame. More hit movies followed (License to Drive, Dream a Little Dream), and seemed to promise success beyond his heartthrob years — until drug addiction derailed his career.

Corey Haim and Corey Feldman's personal problems following their 1980s rise to fame are by now well documented. Yet in Sunday's Season 2 opener of A&E's The Two Coreys, things took an even more serious turn when each revealed having suffered sexual abuse as a teen.

"We're like The Odd Couple, dude," says Corey Haim. "Just not that old." He pauses. "And they're maybe funnier than us." Pause. "But I don't know, maybe we could smoke 'em."
