ANTHONY MICHAEL HALL Shares the Moment His Relationship Severed With JOHN HUGHES #insideofyou

16 candles obviously was that that's the movie that really took took things off for you i mean that was it did man it did you know because so i can't imagine what it's like to be 15 16 years old and you're just become a star i mean how do you keep you couldn't straight i couldn't either man it was a trip it was it's like everything you do at that point yeah so i read somewhere like you were the fourth most uh they said the fourth best teen actor of all time you were ranked on this list of 200 teenagers and they said you were number four i don't know how you weren't number one what was that like a vh1 contest what was it i don't know what it was wow but i'm telling you it seems like everything you touched turned to gold it was mostly hughes honest to god michael he was great you know he had these parties set up the scripts were great there were always a nice sort of equal distribution of fun stuff for us to do and just the way he worked man he gave us all those great opportunities and like i said he was very cool with like collaborating trying stuff he was always kind of conspiring with the actors to make it funnier and uh you know in a similar way david gordon green same thing man very natural talented writer great director not sticklers not sticklers great perfect word you know really open to the process and fluid and let things happen which is cool and i think when when directors are like that as you know you're gonna you're gonna go that much further for the director man you're gonna do you know yeah give it your all so that's the environment that he created michael that's why it was great have you had experiences where you you don't get that freedom man or you just like no say it by the way well you know how it is yeah without naming names you know you do movies or even tv shows man and you don't necessarily always get that vibe from directors and i've worked with a lot of great directors and some okay you know some great tv directors you know um and you know you're always learning but some of them are more you know subdued than others or they might work from the monitor you know how to just get a variance of different things with different people well they say like i've read you i'm sure you've heard the story a million times but that john was really upset when you didn't take ferris bueller and you didn't take uh what's the other one uh pretty pink yeah and he was really upset and you you the friendship was sort of severed for a while is that true you know what happened mike when i was promoting hollywood kills uh halloween kills in new york a couple weeks back i had a nice conversation with a guy at a magazine and then this this headline hit and i'll tell you what happened for years i kind of opted not to tell the story but the truth is i he did write those two projects for me he wanted me to do them at the time he was going to have howie deutsche was a great guy i know howie um i worked with his wife leah thompson he was going to direct pretty pink and he wanted me to star in ferris bueller and i was actually booked and busy on some other projects so it just didn't work out and i think that kind of broke john hughes's heart it broke mine too because i really wanted to continue that relationship yeah so that's how it happened man you know and then years later the last time i talked to him um he called me with john candy on the phone it was incredible man and we hung out like this for a couple hours and just you know shot the and he talked about the potential for like a breakfast club sequel and all these things were in his eyes you know in his in his thinking at that time um but he was just the greatest man i love him we were always laughing he'd take us to blues bars we'd go to record stores you know we'd go and hang out at his house i mean what he did for me he did for so many you know so many so it's not like just you know right right you know the deal there's so many great actors and actresses and he was just putting us on the map and giving us opportunity man did he throw at you like hey mike tr try try this uh add this line right here do this do your own take but be just go off on this yeah no no we would talk it out between takes i would run to the sidelines and get you know his input and oh no dude we were always doing that man what's a scene that you remember or scenes that just elevated so that you were like when you first started filming it it was like okay this is kind of funny yeah but it just became something way funny okay perfect example this is the true story i'm guessing the car scene well let's go back to say yo there's one of them i got one for that too so watch this we're shooting 16 candles i'm 15 years old i look 12 like a bobble head and i remember we're casting we're in chicago and we're doing the casting rounds for the guys who are going to play my buddy my two buddies so hughes turns to me i swear to you i'm 15 years old he goes well to your buddies i'm going to let you cast them i was like what what so i cast cue sack i don't even know if cusack knows this call me john you cast john i swear to you because john hughes said so i was like i can't i couldn't believe it either and then this other guy darren who played the other sidekick who was hilarious so back to the scene work i mean that scene at the high school dance for example just coming up with like smacking them in the face you know you turning around when you're like all of that all of that all that shit's all you yeah well no because he cut me loose because he we would come up we would talk about it and then he would go go surprise him and do that this time you know or goofy
