The Goonies is one of those incredibly legendary films that leaves you stunned when you discover your friend hasn’t seen it.

Despite its release 40 years ago, it remained a staple in many of our childhoods, inspiring us to dance the Truffle Shuffle in the playground and yell ‘hey you guys’ whenever the opportunity presented itself.

The film is mourning its cult status by announcing a sequel. Yes, according to ScreenRant, The Goonies 2 is in development.

Chris Columbus, who wrote the script for the original success, will return to write the treatment.

While we don’t know much about this upcoming film, there is one standout character who will most likely not return: Sloth.

The actor who played the disfigured son of evil Mama Fratelli had a terrible tale to tell.

Despite his involvement in movies like One Crazy Summer and North Dallas Forty, John Matuszak is primarily known as a renowned figure.

He was primarily a professional NFL player, spending much of his time with the Oakland Raiders until retiring after winning his second Super Bowl in 1981.

Matuszak died at the age of 38 in 1989, after suffering a series of misfortunes.

Before reaching maturity, he lost two brothers to cystic fibrosis, one two months after birth and the other at the age of two.

The performer, who would spend five hours putting on prosthetics and makeup to become Sloth, was a towering 6’8″ guy.

And this came in useful on the football field.

However, despite the success the sport brought him, it also caused him significant suffering, starting with an injury he sustained while playing in college.

At the University of Missouri, a shoulder separation led to a series of back issues that necessitated surgery in the early 1980s.

The player’s agony was so severe at this point that they placed him on the reserve list before retiring.

Matuszak began self-medicating with narcotics and prescription pharmaceuticals, which led to addiction.

In his memoirs, Cruisin’ With The Tooz, released in the 1980s, he admitted to becoming clean once.

“I abstain from cocaine and any other foreign substance entirely now,” Matuszak said in a note. “I don’t take anything, including sleeping medications. I’ve almost reached my lowest point.

Unfortunately, he died from an unintentional overdose.

Following his death, his parents stated that Matuszak’s agony was a key contributing factor, and his ex-girlfriend noted that he was also in ‘a lot of emotional anguish’.
