Demi Moore, 61, admits she ‘didn’t love’ being part of the ‘Brat Pack’ as the brand ‘shrinked’ her early work… ahead of documentary about ’80s collective of up-and-coming actors

Demi Moore has confessed she ‘didn’t love’ being part of the ‘Brat Pack’.

The Ghost star, 61, appeared on Wednesday night The late show with Stephen Colbert to discuss the upcoming Andrew McCarthy-led Hulu documentary about The Brat Pack and her feelings about the collective.

The Brat Pack refers to a group of actors who appeared together in coming-of-age films in the 1980s, most of its members notably appearing in the 1985 John Hughes film The Breakfast Club and the 1985 Joel Schumacher film St. Elmo’s Fire.

The documentary is based on the 2021 book Brat: An ’80s Story by Brat Pack’s Andrew McCarthy, 61, who starred with Demi in St. Elmo’s Fire with Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Mare Winningham and Andie MacDowell.

Asked how she felt about the group, she said: ‘I mean it was very new to do stories about young people. I don’t think any of us really loved the epithet of being called a brat. Because it kind of diminished our sense of being professionals.’

During an appearance on Good Morning America, Demi further discussed the film: ‘Andrew really wanted to explore the impact it had on each of us, because for him it actually had a big impact. For Rob (Lowe), it kind of just slipped off his back…

‘For me, I didn’t love being seen as a brat because I thought it kind of diminished us as professionals. But I didn’t wear it’.

Demi referred to documentarian Andrew as ‘Andy’ on the talk show while talking about the documentary, but quickly corrected herself.

She said: ‘Andrew McCarthy! He wants to kill me. This document is an exploration of what and how it affected each of us. Like, Rob, it just rolled off his back. He’s good that way. But for Andrew it really affected him and the things and choices he made’.

Demi said she has yet to watch the documentary and was excited to watch the show. She said: ‘I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to all be in the same room together after all this time’.

Back in May, Andrew posted a throwback photo showing him and Demi side in St. Elmo’s Fire and a current day picture.

He wrote a caption that read: ‘So great to see (for the first time in years) my St. Elmo’s Fire co-star, the wonderful Demi Moore, and catch up on my Brat Pack documentary’.

St Elmo’s Fire was released in 1985 and became an instant cult classic. It starred Demi’s boyfriend at the time, Emilio, as well as Ally, Judd and Rob.

“What do you think about when you look back on the years when you first started out, kind of lumped together as a unit?” asked Stephen, 59,

Also in the cast were model-turned-actress Andie and acclaimed stage actress Mare. Demi played the privileged young woman distracted by drugs and heartbreak. The film is co-written and directed by Joel Schumacher.

Demi was on the CBS talk show to promote Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, which is the second season of the Feud anthology series.

She portrays showgirl and socialite Ann Woodward, who clashed with Capote after his unfinished New York society novel Answered Prayers offended her.

She stated: ‘He changes the names, but not enough that they don’t know. So basically the feud is that they let him into the inner circle even though he was a bit of a court jester for their entertainment. And betraying them…

Stephen also asked Demi about her cute dog Pilaf and she brought out the dog

And then they set out to crush him. Now, my character, Ann Woodward, was never accepted in society. She married into it. I’m kind of his first target. Because I killed my husband by accident’.

Stephen asked how she ‘accidentally’ killed her husband and Demi said it was an accidental shooting, but Capote called her ‘Bang Bang the Murderess’ in his excerpt.

Demi was shown in a clip confronting the author, who said the story was true and told her it would be an ‘interesting’ chapter.

Feud: Capote vs. The Swans premiered Wednesday on FX with its first two episodes each made available the following day on Hulu.

The eight-episode series is based on the book Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era by Laurence Leamer.

The series also stars Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, Treat Williams, Brat Pack member Molly Ringwald and Tom Hollander as Capote.
