Demi Moore reunites with fellow Brat Pack stars Ally Sheedy and Andrew McCarthy – all aged 61! – at premiere of their doc… almost 40 YEARS after trio co-starred in St. Elmo’s Fire

Must read

Demi Moore reunited with her fellow Brat Pack members Ally Sheedy and Andrew McCarthy at the premiere of a new documentary about their 1980s stardom.

The Brat Pack were a cohort of young rising stars whose roles in the movies embodied the fast-living spirit of the 1980s.

Along with Demi, Ally and Andrew, the group included such famous faces as Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall. 

Now Andrew has directed a new documentary called Brats about the stardom they all enjoyed together in the hyper-glitzy Reagan Era.

He, Demi and Ally – all now 61 years old – enjoyed a reunion at the movie’s Tribeca Film Festival premiere Friday, 39 years after they co-starred in St. Elmo’s Fire.

Directed by Joel Schumacher, St. Elmo’s Fire was a coming-of-age drama that featured an array of names that became associated with the Brat Pack.

Demi, Andrew and Ally were joined in the cast by Rob, Emilio, Judd Nelson, Andie MacDowell, Mare Winningham and Martin Balsam. 

Although the movie was disdained by the critics, it became a smash hit at the box office upon its release in 1985 and helped elevate its young actors to stardom. 

Brats also features interviews with Jon Cryer, who insists in the doc that he was not in the Brat Pack despite starring with Molly in Pretty In Pink.

Jon, who became a global name alongside Emilio Estevez’ brother Charlie Sheen on Two And A Half Men, was a spirited presence at the premiere.

He posed for a number of group shots with various Brat Pack members, including with Andrew, Ally and Demi all together.

For her latest public appearance, Demi emphasized her enviably lithe physique in a fitted white top and high-waisted matching trousers.

Her sleeveless blouse featured an elegant collar and was speckled with brass buttons, as were her trousers, which played up her vertiginous legs.

‘Because it’s not like I had any box-office draw. You know, we were all just beginning. I didn’t have anything to really warrant him sticking by me.’

During the making of the film, she ‘was so fearful of failing, fearful of losing, and so desperate to fit in, belong,’ she said. ‘My need to please was definitely on high alert.’

In fact the studio even ‘paid to have a sober companion with me 24/7, during the whole shooting,’ she disclosed, to Andrew’ surprise.
