Brooke Shields remembers being 'most famous virgin in the world'

Brooke Shields opened up this week about how stressful it was to be famous for being a virgin in her early 20s, calling it a mistake to write about it in a 1985 book.

"I think it was, in hindsight, a bit of a mistake for me to be so open about my virginity because it never left me alone," Shields said during an interview with Ali Wentworth on her podcast "Now What?" Tuesday. 

Shields said it was a "huge mistake" that she ended up not writing the book herself "because the publisher didn't want what I wrote. I wrote a very in-depth first chapter, and they didn't want it that way. They wanted a simple, stupid book like ‘I like leg warmers.’"
