told People of Depp, whom she dated for about a year after her engagement to Broderick.“It was literally like, ‘Are you f-cking kidding me?

Are you f-cking kidding me? I’ve never seen a guy like this.’”Grey opened up about past loves including Broderick, 60 — who she started dating in 1985 while filming “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” — while promoting her upcoming memoir, “Out of the Corner.”The actress also got candid about the tragedy she faced with her “Ferris Bueller” co-star when the two got into a car accident in Ireland in 1987 that left two dead.“There was some very, very heavy stuff that went down that changed my life forever and there was no one to blame,” Grey told People. “It was a pure and simple accident that was tragic.

And it had very serious traumatic lasting effects on, I’m sure, Matthew and the family of the other women and me.”Grey and Broderick’s relationship didn’t survive the aftermath of the tragedy as news of the accident came on the heels of the “Dirty Dancing” premiere.

Questions and commentary about it followed her from Howard Stern to a “Today Show” segment that was supposed to be about the movie, according to the New York Times.But while weathering the storm, Grey moved on to Depp, who she was set up with on a blind date by her agent.She admitted that her relationship with Depp, 58, made up for the hardship she faced.“If a mirage could have been a person in the summer of 1988, that mirage would have been Johnny Depp,” she wrote in her memoir.“Energetically, what it was like being with him, it was like, ‘Oh, I’m being totally, totally compensated for the s–t I just went through,’” Grey told People.The actress wrote in her memoir that she accepted Depp’s proposal when he asked her to marry him.
