Rob Lowe just took us on a time-traveling gossip ride to the era of big hair and bigger crushes. The 60-year-old Unstable star recently appeared on the Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast with Kelly Ripa, where he got very real about his past with none other than the 61-year-old legend herself, Demi Moore. Yep, that’s right—two of the most sizzling stars of the ‘80s weren’t just on-screen love interests. Spoiler: they were briefly a thing off-screen too. And Rob didn’t even try to keep it low-key.
When Kelly asked him, “So, did everyone in the ’80s just date each other, or…?” Rob decided it was time for some top-tier nostalgia and cracked, “Oh yeah, Demi and I had a little thing. Not exactly blowing anyone’s mind here.” Then, with the kind of mischievous grin you’d expect from someone who’s been on the cover of every Tiger Beat magazine ever, he went full throttle: “Basically, it was one giant, big, sexy orgy.”
Is he exaggerating? Who’s to say? But we’re now imagining the Brat Pack movie set as a soap opera crossed with a high school prom afterparty.
Rob further elaborated, like a cool uncle spilling family secrets at Thanksgiving, “C’mon, you lock a bunch of 20-somethings in the same room with that much hair gel and longing stares… hookups were inevitable!” It’s practically science at that point.
But the best part? Rob and Demi didn’t just leave the past behind—they text like old buddies planning a reunion tour! Apparently, they’re cooking up something fresh: a St. Elmo’s Fire sequel. “It’s moving along,” Rob teased. “Slowly. Like, ‘Waiting for my phone to update’ slowly.”
He assured fans that the delay is because they’re hunting for the perfect writer. “Everyone’s on board, everyone’s excited,” he said, probably imagining the entire cast in 2024 still trying to pull off the same trench coats and brooding gazes.
Rob Lowe and Demi Moore: from fleeting flings to friendly texts, with a dash of nostalgia and sequel hopes. We’re just saying—if this sequel does happen, the cast party better be just as wild as the first go-around. Or, at the very least, someone needs to bust out a bottle of Aqua Net and really set the vibe.
