James Cameron Spills He Came Up with 'Terminator 2' John Connor Character While High on Ecstacy
James Cameron confirmed in an interview that he came up with the idea for "Terminator 2" character John Connor while he was on ecstacy.
In the "Terminator" series, Connor, played by Edward Furlong in the sequel, is a 10-year-old son of Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese.
The director went on an interview with The Ringer and said, "I remember sitting there once, high on E, writing notes for 'Terminator."
The producer of "Titanic" also stated, "I was struck by Sting's song, that 'I hope the Russians love their children too,'" which he referred to the musician's 1985 song "Russians."
