Why am I smiling throughout this entire clip? It’s so good he’s still thriving in Hollywood!

[@trentkesler7260]

Man, this guy's acting chops are so well honed. And what a gentleman he turned out to be.

[@shac9131]

Easy since he always had it made and his acting roles presented a good guy.

[@dfa3366]

He's handsome as an older man. From a funny scrawny kid in Sixteen Candles.

Polanski was not guilty of 'rape-rape', says Whoopi Goldberg 'We're a different kind of society, we see things differently, in Hollywood' actor says in defence of Roman Polanski Hollywood has rallied behind Roman Polanski after his arrest in Switzerland over the weekend for the rape of a 14 year old, with the actor Whoopi Goldberg suggesting that whatever he was guilty of it wasn't "rape-rape". As a speaker on The View chatshow on US television, she said: "I know it wasn't rape-rape. It was something else but I don't believe it was rape-rape. He went to jail and when they let him out he was like, 'You know what, this guy's going to give me a hundred years in jail. I'm not staying.' So that's why he left." Later in the programme, she added: "We're a different kind of society in Hollywood, we see things differently ... would I want my 14-year-old having sex with somebody? Not necessarily, no." This was the response from many female and some male bloggers was swift and furious. On the Jezebel celebrity website , Lindsay wrote: "We learned about Whoopi's strange and fascinating moral universe, which includes the concept of "rape-rape." This is not the first time she has gone into bat for a Pedophile and she is still allowed to work. On The Frisky Amelia McDonnell-Parry wrote: "Whoopi Goldberg, who I never expected to be a rape apologist, coins a term I've never heard before - 'rape-rape'

Loved him waaaay back in The Breakfast Club ... love him now. Talented, genuine, and very snappy dresser!

[@ALPHAMAGASLAP]

You don't matter!!

[@shac9131]

I can't look at him the same since he's aged. He doesn't seem like the same person and like I expected him to always be skinny. Maybe I've watched his movies too many thousands of times.

[@synchronistory]

@@shac9131 I know what you mean :-). But at the same time, I kinda like the unexpected new persona. It's like rediscovering him all over again (or else watching those old movies too many thousand more times - for nostalgia😊)

[@knbsd3876]

What a gentleman. I had a crush on him during 16 Candles, one of my Top Ten movies. I still see him as the skinny, wise cracking 16 year old😍!

[@85jongo]

This guy has always been cool. A great actor with tremendous range and seems like a nice guy.

[@renegomez3061]

Loved him in wierd science❤❤❤

[@trentkesler7260]

He don't even have his license, lisa!

[@3l3llala13]

It's hard to believe that this AMH is the same skinny and dorky AMH from Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. He looks more like a former linebacker, LOL.

[@kennyroman9589]

Relax this is all part of the New World Order!! Going back to the germen death camps; Today called FEMA CAMPs! But there not above ground, there below ground where you can't see them! Hello?

[@shac9131]

Yeah, it's always been too weird for me

[@mrlij6534]

He did have a very successfull Tv show in the dead zone , that was a pretty good show too

[@Lauren_1987]

He was so good in The Breakfast Club.

[@carlosillustrates]

He and Patrick Dempsey played nerds in the 80’s, and now look how HOT they look. ❤

[@b-meaker99]

They're both Zaddy's now. Patrick is a lady killer (loved him in Enchanted) and Anthony is tree-trunk Daddy! (He was sooo skinny in the 80's)

[@frankcross6958]

anthony was great in a movie called 6 degrees of separation, great underrated performance!!

[@donpinkston5263]

Great movie!

Anthony Michael Hall is the icon of the 80’s. And I’m so lucky to have been a part of his career. Wish I could meet him!

[@joannebaker4925]

Weird Science, 16 candles, and the dead zone some of my favorites 😍. Anthony seems very grounded. Really nice to see 👀.

Good to see him after so many years….we loved him in The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink!!!! 🩷😊

[@shac9131]

He wasn't in pretty in pink unless I missed something. 16 candles, you mean?

[@joelbuchanan471]

He is smooth, ya gotta give him that. He answered all their questions and dodged the part of his life where the drugs and drinking were a big thing. He came back from all that, and is now in a great place. He's very much a personal success as well as professional.

[@shac9131]

Most experience it. Once I got out of the limelight I've never missed the drugs and I refuse to use again.

[@StephanieWV80]

I love AMH. My brother and I watched Weird Science 1,000 times. We still quote it. “You’ll have plenty of time to clean up”

Going to watch his movie 🍿🎥 over the weekend. He's an excellent Actor.

[@observadora-lt1xf]

I'm glad to see him . I remember his first movies

[@fdgfhgification]

It's so weird I don't see any trace of resemblance to the young hall from weird science. I know that was a long time ago but not in a million years would I have ever thought this was Michael Anthony hall.

[@shac9131]

My image of him is blown. I miss the old him. There's a few actors that look completely different than when were a teenager

[@TheOriginalGaPeach]

I’m a HUGE FAN!! I loved those 80’s movies 🎥! Takes me back to my childhood!!!

[@twinpeaksfan929]

He was the evil frat boy in Edward Scissorhands.

Yes, he was good in that movie. 👏

He was in that???

[@alaricabercrombie2692]

@@shac9131 Yes, he was. 😊

[@shac9131]

@alaricabercrombie2692 it's a depressing movie, and I actually don't Iike Johnny Depp. He was great actor in this role. I watched it a few times. But Anthony changed overnight ... I don't recognize him besides old movies and the ones I love

[@alaricabercrombie2692]

@@shac9131 I'm not a huge fan of Johnny Depp's works but, I did like him in this movie. Yes, it's a sad movie but, I still like it.

Wow he really grew up Love all those old clips Wow I never noticed how blue his eyes are

[@michiganjfrog366]

His comedy skills shined in Weird Science 🚀 with a great extended cast too

[@sonicarter1108]

Weird Science…best movie ever…I loved him in it…got me through my teen years…he looks great

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

Crazy - I just watched a clip of Robert Downey Jr talking about their time on SNL.

[@kallen868]

Andrew McCarthy's Brat Pack doc has given new interest in these actors.

[@brad3706]

Fun Fact: NL Vacation was sampled to audience in a few cities. Nobody liked the original ending of the movie. The cast was reassembled and they were horrified AMH had grown almost 8 inches and was almost Chevy Chase's height. Once you know this, the sprint through the park becomes even funnier as a game of old Anthony and young Anthony is possible. Got to hand it to the camera crew, they earned their money on that reshoot.

[@Catnlarry50]

He is very handsome 😊

[@DReardon-hq2vb]

OMG, I've still got such a crush on him.

[@alangillenwaters3805]

He still looks good 👍

What about weird science a classic with Robert Downey Jr .. they were so young And cute. One of my favorite.

Wow!! A Hollywood legend still doing it!

[@peeg09]

Glad that he's proud of his Irish ancestry. You don't get that much on The View. Even knowing I'm a fan.

[@vegasj305]

My favorite of his was the TV series, "The Dead Zone" with Nicole De Boer.

[@shawnuel]

Any reason he was completely phased out of the Brats project? Others chose not to participate but were all at least mentioned at some point.

[@shac9131]

The recent documentary? I haven't seen it yet, but most refused to join it. Perhaps the guy isn't liked personally. The actor who put it together.

[@shawnuel]

@@shac9131 He talked with Molly and Judd, who respectfully declined talking about it on camera but seem to be in good terms with Andrew. But Hall didn’t get a mention outside of film clips he was in.

[@shac9131]

@shawnuel Did they ever act together? Perhaps jealousy . I don't know. I used to be friends so many rock stars, a few actors and some producers, directors.... I heard gossip all the time and facts that never reached media. It's odd because tmz doesn't report everything and some dishes stuff. Tmz isn't like national enquire . You'd be baffled what pretty much stays in l.a. I know so many homosexuals lying covering themselves up.... and one for instance paying millions to not disclose her. I know many who hate each others guts. I changed as a person... got out of media attention and eventually found I lead a different path in life than those I used to roam with. So I don't anything on these guys except Rob Lowe. I know a lot on him, but would be rude to tell

[@shac9131]

@shawnuel PS It's always disturbed me how much Rob lies

[@shac9131]

@shawnuel alright... I'm going to say it. Only a few will see this and I don't care if millions do. He constantly cheats on his wife. Every day on set for one of his TV shows he's stared in.... I'm not going to say who, but yes I know her name.... daily sex. She's behind scenes, well known. I cringe every time I hear Rob say he's faithful to his wife and best friends etc. Because it's lies. He also has genital herpes. Be careful with that if he seduces you. He's had it since before he modeled in playgirl magazine

[@mistercool3859]

"You're all grown up." Does Ana not know that Anthony Michael Hall is older than her?

[@MatthewsFav]

WOW, he is one hot dude.

[@jamesisaak8651]

I am amazed how gracious he could be while on stage with these evil witches!

[@shawnuel]

It’s funny how Ana mentions Mike being “all grown up” but he’s older than every panelist except Joy (and Whoopi but she isn’t there).

[@eusaboston]

He’s my parents age and his wife is one year older than me . Why is it rare to see older men dating older women , fine doesn’t need to be their age or close but 20 plus years younger is always their thing . Interesting thing to study

[@naylas3908]

He clearly wanted a child.

[@donwilk9196]

Its not rare. Most people date in and around their age. Women tend to date a little older because the men have had time to acquire resources and men tend to date a little younger because the women are more fertile. In cases where the man is chasing his career and decides to settle down later in life how is he gonna start a family with a woman the same age who's past the time to have kids...Its pretty straight forward.

[@TheCarlScharnberg]

I'm so fascinated by how much his face changed. He fixed his teeth and his lisp. Looks like he got some sort of jaw surgery.

[@user-pv9vv4tv4s]

The only reason I clicked on this is because I love Anthony Michael Hall. He is a CLASS ACT! I can't stand the women on the view - they are miserable! Anna made a tasteless comment (All geeks grow up to be politicians) and Alyssa made a comment which is more than likely pure gossip to include Whoopie who wasn't even present to confirm or deny it. I feel like the view tries to bring out the worst in their guests, or tries to always stir up gossip instead of truly praising their work. WHY are there so MANY of these clueless, tasteless women on the panel that we have to be subjected to.They most definitely do not represent my "view". I always feel worse after watching this show. They do not elevate. They are so negative. Please cancel these deplorable housewives! Thank you Anthony Michael Hall for being AMAZING and rising above their NOISE.

[@shac9131]

They're forced to behave a way for their paychecks. Most hate Whoppie but she isn't fired because she get views and too many people want to watch to find a reason to bash her again. You will not be chosen on the Price is right as a contestant unlyou act like a nut. CNN reporters are paid 5,000 per SECOND when cameras are on them. So they'll behave whatever it takes to earn $$$$
