The official story is that the Navy SEALs Link Removed due to 404 Error mastermind Osama bin laden in a precise, heroic strike in Pakistan on Sunday. But if you ask 80's teen star Corey Feldman, he just may have had a part in taking down the world's most wanted criminal.
Feldman, the star of such 80's staples as "Stand By Me" and "The Lost Boys," has been touring with his very serious independent film, "Operation Belvis Bash," a war epic in which a number of entertainers, including his "outrageous 'Jewtastic' comedian,' Samuel Stilman, travel to Afghanistan to try to liberate Kabul through the power of mediocre at best rock 'n roll. He had just gotten out of a screening of his film, which is currently on tour in Texas, when he got the news of Bin Laden's death.
"I was in New York on September 11, 2001, with Michael Jackson, and then, nearly ten years later, I walk out of the premiere of my latest film, which I had postponed to be able to attend Corey Haim's 'Decisions' premiere and memorial, to learn that Osama Bin Laden [sic] had been killed by a special operation, just like in the film we'd just screened." Feldman said in a statement (via Movieline). "The timing is simply unbelievable, and whether life imitates art, or art imitates life, now is a time for all Americans to express their gratitude to the brave men and women who serve our country and helped make this happen."
That's right: there's a chance, according to Feldman, that the Navy was modeling its mission after his film's plot. After all, with a cast that includes Daniel Baldwin, Frank Stallone, a former WWF wrestler and the guy who played the Soup Nazi, there's a lot of inspiration to be had.
Here's the official synopsis for the film, followed by a trailer. For more, click over to Movieline.

Did 80's Teen Star Corey Feldman Help Take Out Bin Laden? In a bizarre twist of events surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden, 80's teen star Corey Feldman claims to potentially have a connection to the operation that took down the notorious al-Qaeda leader. Famous for films like Stand By Me and The Lost Boys, Feldman was amidst a film tour for his independent project, Operation Belvis Bash, when he learned of Bin Laden's demise. Touring with his film—a comedic take on the military experience featuring a cast that includes the likes of Daniel Baldwin and Frank Stallone—Feldman remarked on the uncanny timing of the events. He expressed disbelief that the Navy SEALs could have drawn inspiration from his film’s plot, which involves entertainers traveling to Afghanistan to liberate Kabul through music. In his statement, Feldman reminisced about being in New York on September 11, 2001, with Michael Jackson. Ten years later, he exited the premiere of his film to find out about Bin Laden's death—a moment he described as feeling like his artwork had converged with reality. He emphasized the importance of expressing gratitude to the servicemen and women who carry out operations for the safety of the nation. Here's a look at the synopsis of Operation Belvis Bash, along with the trailer, which you can check out for some context on Feldman's creative vision【media=youtube]9db49uByX28[/media】. Feldman's comments sparked confusion and amusement among fans and observers, leading many to question whether the Navy's operation was indeed modeled after the dramatics of his film. While his statement is likely meant as a humorous observation, it raises interesting points about the intersection of pop culture and real-world military actions. What do you think about Corey Feldman’s comments? Could his art have influenced real life, or is it merely a coincidence? Share your thoughts!
