Give him your ear.
On “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on Friday, Jordan Peele disclosed that he had purchased Corey Feldman’s prosthetic ear from the 1986 movie “Stand by Me.”
The actor, 43, claimed to have won the ear in an auction Feldman had held close to his 50th birthday.
I guess I very creepily acquired it while he was auctioning off the ear he wore as Teddy in “Stand by Me,” according to Peele. “Now that I’ve said it out loud, I see how spooky it was. You shouldn’t tell anyone about that.
I told him about it, and he responded, “Wait, you got the ear,” according to Peele. He said, “Man, I’m so thrilled it was you,” when I replied, “Yeah.”
During the Lincoln Center event “The Lost Rider: A Chronicle of Hollywood Sacrifice,” which included several of Feldman’s movies including “Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter,” “Stand by Me,” and the unreleased “The Birthday,” Peele claimed he gave Feldman, 51, a hard time.
I’m excited to announce a new friendship with Corey Feldman, stated Peele.

Feldman, 51, was the subject of a confrontation, according to Peele, during the Lincoln Center series “The Lost Rider: A Chronicle of Hollywood Sacrifice,” which included a number of Feldman’s movies.

He extended a home invitation to my producer and me. We visited his amazing home, which was great. It includes memorabilia and other things. By the way, you should probably f-k off because you’re a kid if you don’t know Corey Feldman. However, this is perhaps among the all-time best teen icons.
When we went to see him, he had an unpublished movie called “The Birthday” that he exhibited, continued Peele. If you’re a cinephile who merely enjoys completely mind-blowing experiences, this treasure is for you. Since “Nope” is a movie about exploitation and erasure, the situation is sort of building up to this missing movie.

Feldman had also previously made light of the fact that the possessor of the ear would have countless uses for the limb.
Feldman remarked, “I don’t know what you’re going to do with the ear.” Use it as a coaster, wear it for Halloween, and shoot darts at it. There are countless options.
