The "Sixteen Candles" star offered an eyebrow-raising take on her relationship with the famed director as a teen.
Molly Ringwald was asked by podcast host Monica Lewinsky if being director John Hughes’ muse was “creepy,” prompting an intriguing response from the actor. (Watch the video below.)
The story went that Hughes plucked her headshot from a pile and posted it on the wall as inspiration while he wrote “Sixteen Candles” (1984). He later cast her in the lead role.
“Complimentary or strange weird, creepy in any way?” Lewinsky said on an episode of her “Reclaiming” show posted Tuesday.
Ringwald laughed awkwardly. “Yeah, it’s peculiar,” the actor replied. “It’s complimentary. It always felt incredibly complimentary. But yeah, looking back on it, there was something a little peculiar.”
