Brooke Shields Explains Why She Wouldn't Sleep with John F. Kennedy Jr. & How He Showed His 'True Colors' After She Turned Him Down

Brooke Shields is opening up about the awkward date she went on with John F. Kennedy Jr. and how she “showed his true colors” after she wouldn’t sleep with him.

The former Suddenly Susan actress, now 57, has been opening up about her past while promoting her new Hulu documentary Pretty Baby.

During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show this week, Brooke talked about going on a date with JFK Jr. while in Aspen, Coloardo.

“I was so madly in love with him since the time I was like three. My mom would say, ‘That’s the boy you’re going to marry,’” Brooke said.

Brooke ended up meeting John a few decades later and they went on a ski date.

“I had to get ski lifted out because I went into the trees,” Brooke recalled. “And he didn’t help me, but I was like, ‘It’s okay. He can’t help me. He’s John John.’”

“He kept saying I look like his mother, which is really interesting, and a compliment, [but] I was like, ‘I don’t know how to feel about this.’ And then we did have a real date,” she said.

Brooke joined JFK Jr. at a night out with more Kennedys at a rowdy pub.

“He said, ‘Do you want to get out of here?’ And I was like, ‘Uh, yeah, I do want to get out of here, John Kennedy.’ He kissed me, and it was like the best kiss I’ve ever had in my life,” she said. “It was beyond not-disappointing. The lips are beautiful, and the face is amazing … and he was down to earth and funny and irreverent.”

Brooke explained why she decided not to sleep with him though.

“I froze though, because it was so precious to me and I was like, ‘Oh my god, you’re falling in love and if you sleep with him, he may not talk to you again and you can’t handle that.’ I wasn’t playing a game. I really was just, I was so afraid of being really hurt because if I slept with him I would’ve given him my entire universe,” she said. “I had to get a cab home, which was a little less than chivalrous in my opinion.”

“I saw him the next day on the slope and he didn’t look at me and he didn’t talk to me,” Brooke added. “On the one hand, I was like ‘sh-t!’ On the other hand, I was like, ‘Thank God … He showed his true colors.’”

Brooke also just opened up about losing her virginity to a famous actor, who wasn’t famous at the time.
