Rob Lowe and Demi Moore’s on-screen chemistry was undeniable — even for the actors themselves. Lowe, now 60, recently revealed that he “briefly had a thing” with Moore, 61, during the ’80s while chatting with Kelly Ripa on her podcast, “Let’s Talk Off Camera.” Ripa casually brought up Moore when discussing her all-time favorite movie, “About Last Night” (1986), in which Lowe and Moore played love interests who decided to move in together after just 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 starred together in the 1985 classic “St. Elmo’s Fire.” Lowe and Moore were part of the iconic “Brat Pack,” a group of young ’80s Hollywood stars that included Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Andrew McCarthy, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, and Molly Ringwald.

During their conversation, Ripa couldn’t resist asking about Moore. “Did you have a crush on her?” she inquired, 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 jokingly responded that it was a “big, big sex orgy” before confirming that he and Moore “briefly had a thing” before Moore’s engagement to Estevez.

Moore and Estevez never married, as they called off their engagement in 1986. “Look, anytime you put young 20-something men and women together, hookups are inevitable,” Lowe said. The actor also mentioned that he recently texted Moore about a potential “St. Elmo’s Fire” sequel that’s reportedly in development. Lowe teased the project in July, noting that it’s “moving along” but at a slower pace than he’d like, as they’re trying to find the right writer and story. All the original actors are on board and excited about the project.

Despite their brief romantic involvement, Lowe and Moore appeared together in McCarthy’s Brat Pack documentary, “Brats,” released earlier this year on Hulu. The film delved into the lives of the famous group members, their memories from the ’80s, and their feelings about being labeled the Brat Pack. Lowe went on to marry Sheryl Berkoff in 1991, and they have two sons, Matthew, 31, and John, 28. Lowe starred in “Unstable” with his youngest son, who also executive produced the Netflix series, which was canceled after two seasons.

Moore has been married three times, first to Freddy Moore (1981–1985), then to Bruce Willis (1987–2000), and finally to Ashton Kutcher (2005–2013). She remains close to Willis amid his health struggles, as they share daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30. Moore and Willis also have a granddaughter, Louetta, born to Rumer and her husband in April.
