Andrew McCarthy has the same energy as Paul Rudd. Both handsome, funny, intelligent, easy going, laugh easily at themselves. I could watch either of them talk for hours
He seems like such a sweet guy. Very laid back, humble, quiet (almost by a little bashful at times). And super nice. He’s old enough to be my dad but I still think he’s really cute.
lol, what an idiotic comment. All actors are "normal". You are aware they are pretending to be other people, right? It just baffles me people think actors are charming and interesting in real life.
@@jedijonesBut McCarthy hasn't had surgery or procedures. You can see he's quite wrinkly, although he looks very good and has a more defined and stronger, leaner face with age. He also still has a lot of nice hair and a soiid hairline which makes him look more youthful and attractive. Lowe has had some surgery and procedures to maintain his looks - just not as drastic and obvious as Moore's.
Andrew Mccarthy is not only drop dead beautiful, so good looking but also has an interesting qualities too him.Molly was spot on when she told john Hughes too hire him for pretty in pink because thats who she woukd fall for and want.he is so dreamy and poetic.
I read some rumors that Ringwald and McCarthy were secretly together before and during the filming of their later film together "Fresh Horses." And that Ringwald fell for Viggo Mortenson, who played her husband. Rumor wss that they had a fling, whilst McCarthy, who was jealous, had a thing with actress Patti D'Arbanville, who was also filming with them.
Thought exactly the same thing. Such a POWERFUL movie for it's time. I'd even say a "must watch" film. Very intense & realistic performances I thought, without the typical Hollywood fairytale ending of that era. RDJ was expectional in it, as was McCarthy & Jamie Gertz. Highly recommended imo.
I love Andrew McCarthy even moreso now than I did back then. He and I also share a birthday. St Elmo's, Pretty in Pink, Less Than Zero, Weekend at Bernie's are the best!😉
Oh I love that Weekend at Bernie's was his favorite movie, because it's my favorite movie of his, too! It was stupid, but it was so fun! I love hearing that it was fun filming it, because that totally comes through when you watch it. It's just good, silly, crazy fun. I really enjoyed watching "Brats" and feeling all the nostalgia for the 80s 😻
I am out-of-touch because I had no idea that he acted in anything recently. He is very likeable! "Pretty In Pink" was one of my favorite movies growing up. Time flies.
We saw the brat pack as good looking, talented, young people who were giving the finger to corporate adult life, and just doing their own thing. We wanted to be like ya’ll….to watch ya’ll together. It’s really a shame that y’all didn’t see that. It’s a shame that ya’ll didn’t know more young , “normal people,” who would have told ya’ll the wonderful truth about how much we loved the brat pack title.
I hope you read this I watched your documentary, and it was wonderful! I was so surprised because as fans we loved the brat pack! And we couldn’t figure out why ya’ll didn’t maximize that angle instead of run from it. I mean hell it’s been 30 something years and here I am watching a documentary about it just as happy as I can be.
In the '80s, stars were always trying to run away from what was working for them for fear of being "typecast." Shelley Long left Cheers, Michael Keaton quit Batman after two movies, Harrison Ford said he wanted to be killed off in the third Star Wars so he could never come back, and Christopher Reeve had to be dragged back to do Superman IV after saying he was quitting the role (which is a sequel he shouldn't have done, admittedly). Even most of the Ghostbusters cast did not want to do a sequel. It was just a different way of thinking back then. Nowadays, every actor wants a franchise where they can play the same part ten times.
Weekend at Bernie's 2 is one of my favorite movies. I grew up on St. Thomas where it was filmed, and I left living there in 1990 2 years before filming, giving us a snapshot of the island as I remember it. I notice the video didn't mention Less Than Zero - a film every teen should watch to see the horrors of heavy drug use.
Love this Andrew it's so great to hear you talk about your movies just love you thank you for bringing back memories of my teen years ❤🫂 love all your movies!!!
I remember watching, "A Weekend at Bernie's" with my relatives visiting from NYC in 1990. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe. I had to the bathroom to stop. Funniest movie EVER.
That was a great interviewer. Andrew is awesome❤ lucky kids and wife to have him in their lives. (In other words- Actors can be very flakey and of low morals). Andrew is not at all that way and it is very obvious he never was. Very 😎 cool. 👍🏼
Always a fan of you & your buddys! I think i saw you one day at Montgomery State Park Restaurant a long time ago & didn’t know your name till i finally saw you in a video with Rob! If the guy wasn’t you then your twin must hang out at that restaurant that i heard lately had been closed down in Dickson, TN! ♥️🌟👋
hey!, ( lost my older brother Andrew!, 2 years ago?, Kidney Failure! ), but, Andrew, watching you try & save Julien?, from the crack pioe!, was Brilliant!, watching you lug around ya dead Boss Fred?, FN HILARIOUS!!!, thanks for entertainment Mate.
Heaven Help Us is his best movie! It is so under rated it is a shame! He is so good in it! I think Andrew could have been great in he would have kept on that track of movies. Very solid actor.
Anthony Michael Hall, Robert Downey Jr, John and Joan Cusack...? St. Elmos was an adult film. McCarthy was background noise. What about James Spader, Matt Dillon and C. Thomas Howell? Timothy Dalton, sean and Chris Penn?
When i was in my tweens and early teens in the 80s i had the biggest man crushes on Rob Lowe and Morten Harket from A-ha. i wanted to look like those guys SO bad, i was TALL and SUPER skinny and NO girls were looking at me before 16. Andrew works in Pretty In Pink because there is a difference between kids that are popular because they are rich preppy kids and kids that are popular because they are jocks. they often overlap and hang out in the same popular circles, but Andrew was believable as a rich preppy kid. and i mean they had already done Molly falling for the square jawed jock in Sixteen Candles.
0:39 That's not even McCarthy in the scene and the way the other dude is exaggerating his movements and going out of his way to avoid showing his face, profile, etc., likely not Lowe either
McCarthy was my least favorite actor(if you can call him one)of the Brat Pack.Guess i was right about his acting since i think he only after,did Weekend at Bernies.
In all fairness did Judd Nelson at 25 in The Breakfast Club, James Spader at 25 in Pretty in Pink, Alan Ruck at 30 in Ferris Bueller's Day Off or Jennifer Grey at 25 in Ferris look like teenagers? Of course, not but they were all great and I'll take a talented older actor over a less talented younger actor.
To be fair, when I was in high school (84-88) I saw plenty of people, high school juniors/seniors who looked like they were at least 21 back then. I remember thinking, “No way are they 17-18 years old!” They were though! One day when my mom picked me up from school my freshman year she asked me, “Why is that middle aged woman wearing your uniform?” I said, “Mom, that’s ___ and she’s a sophomore, she goes to this school.” My mother was flabbergasted. The 15-16 year old really did look middle aged because of her hairstyle and glasses she wore, plus a few other things. She was healthy, too, no underlying reason for her to look so much older.
