Leif Garrett, pseudonimo di Leif Per Nervik (Hollywood, 8 novembre 1961), è un attore e cantante statunitense.

Biografia

Figlio di Carolin Underwood, sceneggiatrice e fratello di Dawn, il primo film dove recitò era Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice del 1969 e, a quel tempo, aveva 8 anni.

Decise di dedicarsi al canto riuscendo a firmare un contratto con la Atlantic Records, il suo primo album Leif Garrett venne inciso nel 1977. Conosciuto in Italia negli anni 1979-1981 con diverse apparizioni televisive, come quella del 1979, dove a L'altra domenica cantava I Was Made for Dancin' e a La sberla condotto da Daniela Poggi dove canta e balla altri suoi pezzi.

Il singolo I Am a Rebel, composto per lui da Victorio Pezzolla, divenne in seguito la sigla del programma televisivo italiano Il barattolo, condotto da Fabrizio Frizzi.

Nel 1979, poco prima di compiere diciotto anni, Leif alla guida di una Porsche ebbe un incidente in cui un suo amico rimase paralizzato. Fu denunciato nel gennaio 1980 e, sette anni dopo, l'assicurazione (intestata alla madre di Garrett) pagò un risarcimento alla vittima di 6 milioni di dollari. I due sono rimasti in contatto fino alla morte dell'amico, avvenuta nel 2017.

Il 14 gennaio 2006 venne arrestato a Los Angeles in California per possesso di droghe.

Inaspettatamente, la sua voce ricomparirà nel disco The Crybaby (2000) della band post-grunge Melvins, dove interpreta una cover di Smell Like Teen Spirit dei Nirvana.

Fra i suoi amori quello con l'attrice Nicollette Sheridan (1979-1985, senza sposarsi) e con l'attrice Justine Bateman.
