      ​@@jedijonesBut McCarthy hasn't had surgery or procedures. You can see he's quite wrinkly, although he looks very good and has a more defined and stronger, leaner face with age. He also still has a lot of nice hair and a soiid hairline which makes him look more youthful and attractive.
      Lowe has had some surgery and procedures to maintain his looks - just not as drastic and obvious as Moore's.

      I read some rumors that Ringwald and McCarthy were secretly together before and during the filming of their later film together "Fresh Horses." And that Ringwald fell for Viggo Mortenson, who played her husband. Rumor wss that they had a fling, whilst McCarthy, who was jealous, had a thing with actress Patti D'Arbanville, who was also filming with them.

      McCarthy had an alcohol problem for years but he eventually overcame that. But not because of any of his wives.

    Weekend at Bernie's 2 is one of my favorite movies.

Very intense & realistic performances I thought, without the typical Hollywood fairytale ending of that era. RDJ was expectional in it, as was McCarthy & Jamie Gertz. Highly recommended imo.

    • @jedijones
      @jedijones 5 місяців тому +2

      In the '80s, stars were always trying to run away from what was working for them for fear of being "typecast." Shelley Long left Cheers, Michael Keaton quit Batman after two movies, Harrison Ford said he wanted to be killed off in the third Star Wars so he could never come back, and Christopher Reeve had to be dragged back to do Superman IV after saying he was quitting the role (which is a sequel he shouldn't have done, admittedly). Even most of the Ghostbusters cast did not want to do a sequel. It was just a different way of thinking back then. Nowadays, every actor wants a franchise where they can play the same part ten times.

    Anthony Michael Hall, Robert Downey Jr, John and Joan Cusack...? St. Elmos was an adult film. McCarthy was background noise.
    What about James Spader, Matt Dillon and C. Thomas Howell? Timothy Dalton, sean and Chris Penn?
