The Breakfast Club Cast Reunites for 40th Anniversary—See What They Look Like Now

The Breakfast Club is back together again. 

The entire main cast of the beloved 1980s coming-of-age movie reunited for the first time in 40 years at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo on Saturday, April 12. 

    Molly Ringwald, who played Claire, explained she felt “really emotional and moved” to have all five leading actors in the room together, noting during the panel that it was “the first time that Emilio (Estèvez) has joined us.”

    “We don’t have to use the cardboard cut-out anymore,” she joked.

    Estèvez, who starred as Andrew, explained the reunion was “something that finally I felt I needed to do, just for myself.”

    It was even more special that the reunion was in Chicago, as the movie was filmed in the Chicago suburb of Des Plaines at the former Maine North High School.

    While answering fan questions, the cast members were asked to reveal what they think happened to their characters, with everyone having different takes.

    Judd Nelson suggested that his rebellious character John Bender probably became “principal of the school,” while Ally Sheedy said she could see her character Allison becoming a writer or professor.

    Ringwald thinks “Claire probably got married a few times,” even suggesting “Maybe decided she liked women. You know, her kids are grown up, she's like, 'Okay I'll try that.' It didn't work out so well with the guys.”

    Anthony Michael Hall, who played Brian Johnson, revealed that a revival or sequel film was “thought about” in the past, the cast confirmed they would not be doing one out of respect for the film’s late director John Hughes, known for other iconic teen films like Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

    Ringwald also reflected on the experience of re-watching the movie, which she filmed when she was just 16, with her now-grown kids, stating it would have changed "the way that I parent” but admitting that it “opened up” conversations.

    “And then I watched the movie recently with my 15-year-olds, little more age appropriate, and I have to say that they didn’t pick up their phones once, which to me… that was a win,” Ringwald added.

    The film, released Feb. 15, 1985, finds five high school students stuck together in Saturday detention realizing that they have a lot more in common than they ever could’ve imagined.
