From Michael J. to Justin Biebs: a brief history of Canadian teen heartthrobs Corey Haim This '80s teen idol and Torontonian was troubled by his early fame, but we'll always remember him in his role alongside that other Corey in the 1987 vampire flick The Lost Boys. Haim had a Tiger Beat cover boy softness—rosy cheeked, with a child-like mop of blond hair when stardom hit—but with an edge. He possessed a self-assuredness better suited to someone twice his age and embraced his heartthrob status while others of his generation shied away from it, confronting fans and critics alike with a direct gaze and trademark lopsided smile.
