Brooke explained in the documentary how, although the press painted their friendship as something sexual and romantic, they were “too childish” for that.

The two met in 1978 and quickly became friends. “We were both very young in some ways and mature in others,” he said.

“We had a strong bond. We both need to grow up fast, but when we got together we were just two young people having fun. We spent a lot of time together.”

“To myself,” admits Brooke Shields on documentary

“I still have my career, I still work, but here I am shocked at how underrepresented I am. Either you’re in your early twenties and sexy and fabulous, or you’re wearing adult diapers and dentures. From the age of forty, we begin to live our lives, but then they take us out of the market. He’s ready. And once it’s over, you stop working, you’re taken out of the game. It makes me crazy.”
