'80s Crushes: Rob Lowe and Demi Moore's Quick Fling and Long-Lasting Bond

Recently, Rob Lowe, who's famous for his role in "Parks and Recreation, " shared an interesting bit from his past. During a chat on Kelly Ripa's podcast, he talked about a short romance he had with Demi Moore back in the '80s. They were both part of the popular Brat Pack group and starred together in the 1985 movie "St. Elmo's Fire. " "Demi and I had a thing for a while, " he recalled, but their fling didn't last long. Moore moved on to other Brat Pack members: first Emilio Estevez, and later, she married Bruce Willis. Despite their brief romantic history, Rob and Demi have remained good friends over the years. Looking back, Rob wasn't surprised by any of these '80s flings, including his own. Back then, the Brat Pack was known for their close bonds and quick romances. It was a time when young actors were often linked romantically, and friendship wasn't uncommon even after the flame fizzled out. Rob's reflection on this era shows that sometimes, relationships can shift from romantic to platonic, and still remain strong. In today's world, it's rare to see such close-knit groups like the Brat Pack. Actors and actresses often lead more private lives, and public romances are often short-lived and highly scrutinized. Rob Lowe's reminiscence is a reminder of how Hollywood's dynamics have changed over the decades. It's also a tale of how enduring friendships can bloom from fleeting romances.
