Andrew McCarthy recalled his rise to stardom as one of the members of the Brat Pack. During the ‘80s, the actor was a reluctant member of the Brat Pack – which consisted of a group of young idols such as Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Demi Moore and Rob Lowe – who dominated Hollywood.
McCarthy, 60, reflected on how the term had a negative impact initially, but he learned to embrace it later in his career. "For years I ran away from it and then I finally said… ’This is a seismic event in my life’ and I’ve changed because of what happened in the Brat Pack," McCarthy said during an appearance on "Today." McCarthy’s comments come after he confessed he hadn’t seen his fellow Brat Pack members for 30 years and was curious to know how being part of the group changed each of their lives.
The "St. Elmo’s Fire" actor noted that he'd contacted the other stars of the '80s to see how that time had impacted their lives since they never formally discussed it as a group.
He said after chatting, they all agreed that they "hated" being coined the Brat Pack because it was initially a "negative" term. "Now… it’s an iconic… affectionate phrase… I’m an avatar of people’s youths… it’s a warm fuzzy thing," McCarthy laughed. "To chat with everyone about their journey… was amazing." The "Pretty in Pink" actor is currently working on a documentary project on the ‘80s stars.
