Remember the Iconic 'Brat Pack' From the '80s? Here's Where They Are Now

Molly Ringwald is arguably the Brat Pack member. She starred in Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985), and Pretty in Pink (1986), all movies that helped shape the '80s decade into what it was. Her red locks on her head also separated her from other actresses at the time.

Ringwald is still doing her thing. She was everyone's favorite mom in the early 2000s show, The Secret Life of the American Teenager and recently had a role in Riverdale. That's not to mention her part in the popular Netflix franchise of films The Kissing Booth just a few years back. It's safe to say that her acting skills are as sharp as ever.

Demi Moore was 22 years old when she was "officially" inducted into the pack after her role in St. Elmo's Fire in 1985. While this was her only film that was considered a "Brat Pack" production, her notoriety as part of the crew lived on for years after. She even dated fellow member, Estevez, for some time, setting the tabloids ablaze!

After St. Elmo's Fire, Moore's career took off. She famously starred in films like Ghost (1990), A Few Good Men (1992) and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003). Nowadays, Moore—who is 61 years old—is still acting, but is also a memoir author and mother of three children, whom she shares with fellow actor Bruce Willis.

Even before becoming a member of the pack, Rob Lowe was a hot commodity! He was known for his relationships with Melissa Gilbert and Princess Stephanie. Though, things really sparked for him when he, similarly to Moore, made his pack debut in St. Elmo's Fire at 21 years old. Just look at him... he really has that '80s heartthrob look down to a tee!

Lowe, 60 years old now, hasn't slowed down a bit. In fact, he's still as charming as ever, and has captivated his audiences in roles such as Wayne's World (1992), the modern sitcom Parks and Recreation, and thrilling series 9-1-1: Lone Star. Lowe is a father of two, and has been married to his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, since 1991.

Here is... Emilio Estevez! You know him from The Outsiders (1983), The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire. (Talk about a string of hit movies.) And, again, he had a public relationship with Moore during the '80s, which only made the group that much more popular.

Estevez was still acting away after his time in the pack. You might remember his sports family movie, The Mighty Ducks (1992). He reprised this wholesome role decades later in 2021 in The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers season 1. Other recent works of his include The Loneliest Boy in the World (2022) and The Public (2018).

Sheedy's first famous Brat Pack film was in The Breakfast Club, but she also acted alongside Lowe in Oxford Blues just a year before that. Her other pack films include St. Elmo's Fire, further cementing her name as part of the clique.

Sheedy still acts every now and then, but she's mostly spending her time in the world of literature and writing. She edits lots of books under a pseudonym. (How cool is that?!) Sheedy recently starred in the comedy series Single Drunk Female, where she briefly reunited with fellow pack member, Molly Ringwald.

For a while, Anthony Michael Hall played a distinct kind of role: the nerd! His Brat Pack films prove this (Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club), as well as other films like Weird Science. What separated him from other pack members was his brief stint on Saturday Night Live, a gig he got at just 17 years old.

In more recent years, Hall takes on roles in different types of movies, including The Dark Knight (2008), Live by Night (2016) and War Machine (2017). You can also catch him in The Class (2022). He is currently engaged to his fiancé, Lucia Oskerova, as of 2019.

St. Elmo's Fire and Pretty in Pink were Andrew McCarthy's Brat Pack flicks, though he was also known for his roles in Less Than Zero (1987) and Weekend at Bernie's (1989) during that time period. It would definitely make sense if he was your crush during the '80s, because, well, look at him!

McCarthy acted for some time after, appearing in movies like The Joy Luck Club (1993) and shows like Good Girls (2018). Though, acting isn't his only talent. He loves to direct, working on episodes of Gossip Girl, The Blacklist and Orange Is the New Black. He also had a gig as a travel journalist and has written a memoir, Walking With Sam: A Father, a Son, and Five Hundred Miles Across Spain.

Like a lot of his co-stars, Judd Nelson was deemed part of the Brat Pack after his appearance in St. Elmo's Fire and The Breakfast Club. He had a very distinct look to him at the time, which probably helped secure his spots in those movies.

Nelson continued acting throughout the '90s, with roles in New Jack City (1991) and Steel (1997). Throughout the '00s and '10s, you could catch him in shows like Las Vegas and Empire. Oh, and Hallmark movie fans know him from Save Christmas (2022). Nelson is 64 now, and was asked in 2019 if he was "tired" of talking about his time in the pack and his role in The Breakfast Club. He responded by saying: "No, not at all, man. It's like riding a fast horse, you know what I mean? All you gotta do is not fall off."
