Rob Lowe and Demi Moore’s on-screen chemistry was hard to resist — even for the actors. Lowe, 60, disclosed that he “briefly had a thing” with Moore, 61, in the ’80s while talking to Kelly Ripa this week on her podcast, “ Let’s Talk Off Camera .” Ripa casually mentioned Moore when she disclosed that their 1986 movie “About Last Night” was one of her all-time favorites.
In the film, Lowe and Moore played love interests who boldly decided to move in together after only a few dates. “You two have crazy good chemistry,” Ripa teased. “Of all the stuff I did in the ’80s, if I had to pick one, it would for sure be ‘About Last Night,’” Lowe responded.
The duo also co-starred in the 1985 classic “St. Elmo’s Fire.” Lowe and Moore were famously part of the “Brat Pack,” a group of young ’80s Hollywood It-stars, including Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Andrew McCarthy, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald.
During their chat, Ripa couldn’t let the topic of Moore go. “Did you have a crush on her?” the “Live! With Kelly and Mark” host asked, pressing Lowe for details. “Did you guys ever date? Did you all date each other? Was it like, just — was it a big romp?” Lowe joked by saying it was a “big, big sex orgy” between the cast before giving Ripa exactly what she asked for.
“I mean, Demi and I briefly — I’m not telling tales out of school — we briefly had a thing,” he shared, noting their “thing” happene.
