Brat Pack’s Andrew McCarthy gives inside look at ‘club’ 30 years later: ‘We all hated it’

Actors, including Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore and Rob Lowe, who were dubbed the "Brat Pack" in the 1980s, are reflecting back on the cultural phenomenon in a new documentary.

But "St. Elmo’s Fire" star Andrew McCarthy, 61, who directed the new Hulu documentary "Brats," admitted he and his fellow actors didn’t always appreciate the term coined by a journalist at the time. 

"It was such a crazy thing when it first happened. We all hated it," McCarthy told Good Morning America this week. "Who wants to be called a brat when you’re a kid? Particularly when you’re a kid and you think you are a brat, so you don’t want to be called it, and you don’t want to be a member of a pack and all that, and we felt it affected our lives, you know?"
