He stated, “Of all the stuff I did in the ’80s, if I had to pick one, it would for sure be ‘About Last Night’.” The film, along with their earlier project ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’, solidified both Lowe and Moore’s status as members of the iconic ‘Brat Pack’, a group of young stars that defined a generation of cinema.
As the conversation delved deeper, Ripa inquired whether there were any romantic feelings during their time together.
Lowe elaborated on the nature of young Hollywood, stating, “Look, anytime you put young 20-something men and women together, hookups are inevitable.” This candid reflection highlights the often tumultuous yet passionate world of young stars navigating fame and relationships.
Despite their brief romance, Lowe believes the themes of ‘About Last Night’ still resonate with audiences today. He noted that the film addressed important questions about friendships formed in youth and their longevity as adulthood approaches.
