Whatever Happened To This Breakfast Club Star?

[@Looper]

Who's your favorite character from "The Breakfast Club"?

[@johnharvyfernandez815]

The basket case 😁

[@trinaq]

Definitely Brian the Brain, he's so underrated! 🧠🤓📚

[@johnoksys7713]

Bender

[@lindahandley5267]

Judd! He's so cute and a great actor!

[@lovemussb1940]

This guy,and Antony Micheal hall.

[@lynn8691]

I think Judd Nelson was an underrated actor. Loved him in The Breakfast Club. That was an excellent movie and a very good depiction of the heartfelt struggles teens go through.

[@lauralbodin9172]

Made few movies then disappeared & then made a few psycho movies....last 1 I haven't seen,were he locks the girl up in cellar

[@Riz2336]

Good actor, John Bender is by far his most memorable role that he played

[@JustinLodes]

I liked him in “Relentless” where he played a psychotic serial killer

[@SIKE01]

he was good as Bender Goes to College in Making The Grade

[@lidiaorekhova]

Also a good movie 'Fandango'

[@bamaboyz8978]

Either that or Hot Rod in Transformers

[@SupervoidCinema]

'Does Barry Manilow Know That You Raid His Wardrobe?'' - John Bender is one of the greatest creations of all time.

[@nickhawkins2938]

That was my favorite line and hey! smoke up Johnny!

[@divinebadass7972]

FYI, a lot of his lines were ad-libbed by him! The director was a true artist who appreciated what his actors could bring to the table and he gave them the freedom to riff off of the script.

[@Garland67]

Nelson really needs a good Netflix series now. He's talented and deserves good work.

[@nevermind654]

You should watch his performance in girl in the basement.

[@evanjiang9393]

He's now in girl in the basement, he was so good in acting

[@sassykaren7587]

The Breakfast Club will always be my favorite movie of all time. I remember when I was a teenager and me and my best friend saw it at the theater and instantly became obsessed with it. We both knew all the lines and after it came out on VHS, we would talk every word in the script. Even to this day we still Facebook the best parts of the dialogue. I have seen Judd in other movies and tv shows but I still look at him as Bender 😂

[@cheetyliciousmeowmeow1085]

Me too Sassy😎

[@sassykaren7587]

Cheetylicious meow meow it looks like there’s a lot of people just like us. I’m ready to watch it again if it’s still on Netflix 😊

[@MrMoparbob498]

Sassy Karen I have a similar situation, my girlfriend & I went to see that at the theater -& it's one of my favorites & memorable for more than... & It was almost like my generation was up on screen as my school (Northgate in Pittsburgh PA) had almost the same detention system called EDGE - crazy memories I say

[@sassykaren7587]

Bob Fedder it’s definitely a classic. I was living in Maryland when I saw it at the theater with my BFF and white watching it, we were laughing about people in our school who fit each character. I really enjoyed those days and wish there was a way to go back and do it all over again. I would love to go back knowing what I know now and change some things before getting to the age I am now.

[@sassykaren7587]

Alex xela I’m so sorry to hear that. Back then I had a bunch of friends at school who were from different backgrounds and cultures. I was into all different things, like rap music and movies about different races. I hope that you have been able to catch up on some of the things you missed out on. Thank you for your reply and have a great day 🥀

[@CadyVirina]

I love the Breakfast Club! Still continue to watch brat pack movies to this day!

[@15Kilo]

The breakfast club is so timeless. It will always be relevant and so easy for every generation and new generations to identify with. One of my all time favorites!

[@kraigowaffles2110]

What happened?!? He continued to be bad ass for the rest of his life.

[@johnharvyfernandez815]

"Dont you forget about me..." And also the quote of David Bowie in the beginning: "And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They are quite aware of what they're going through."

[@antoinettemosley312]

❤❤

[@ericpelkey5925]

Y’all forgot to mention his awesome roll in “From the Hip.” It showed both his comedic and dramatic chops!

[@omnipop4936]

Yeah, my mom and I went to see that when it came out. I remember we both really liked it.

[@jonasirw1]

Love that movie

[@angelarasmussen1800]

These overviews of his career almost always leave that one out, but I really liked it. I enjoyed him in Suddenly Susan as well. I am not into the psychopath genre, so no thanks on those movies.

[@marktomlin5818]

Screws fall out all the time the world is in an imperfect place

[@chicostephenson]

thanks. i always knew Nelson was out there I just didn't know where. Once again, another great actor goes under-appreciated.

[@caroldriehorst1165]

I always liked him, that movie 'Cabin by the Lake " was scary.

[@lenevee4925]

This takes me back to my elementary school days. Classics!

[@vagabondjay7281]

Good work compiling what Judd's been up to. Thanks!

[@hip2besquare1972]

He also played a lawyer in a movie called "From the Hip", which is my favorite, although I had a crush on him as John Bender, too!!

[@Charmed636363]

I agree. I was like, "what about From the Hip?"

[@darrendix5163]

From the hip was hilarious! LOVE Judd Nelson!

[@icecold2348]

You forgot one, he also starred in "from the hip" a 1987 movie where he role played as a lawyer.

[@uncommonsense5876]

Good stuff, Looper 👏😎 TBC is all time classic. I recall when it rolled out to theaters.. seems like yesterday. 80s was the BEST 🌞

[@GamerForLife514]

I love The Breakfast Club.

[@jimramos2613]

Me too 👈

[@raffydog619]

The Dark Backwards is one of my all time favorite movies.

[@FannuBoy]

Same here, love that movie!

[@pandoraroy117]

I spotted him in North Hollywood Joe’s Coffee!

[@royrice8597]

👍👍👍 Thanks! If this had been on anything but KZbin, you would have to click “Next” 30 times before you got to John Bender!!

[@carolynford2054]

Judd Nelson continues to perform very well in his movies. I have watched over half of his movies. Of course, I enjoyed his earlier films. Lately, I have seen "Kreep" and "The Texas Jack" movie. Both movies held my attention with excellent acting and suspense in both movies. Nelson is a very diversified actor and has not received the credit he is due in Hollywood.

[@nekitamol1k242]

We know it's you, Judd.

[@soulqueen3819]

LMAO he was funny as shit on the breakfast club😂

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

Love Judd Nelson

[@nickhawkins2938]

Judd Nelson aka John bender was the leader of the club and my favorite...his asshole persona was sincere comedic sarcasm that brought the best out of each character and gave them power to be they're true selves it's a pushy attempt at Helping his classmates and gave the movie many laughs..so yeah sincerely yours the breakfast club!... don't you forget about me

[@Mastarfiin]

You completely missed an absolutely great movie from the 80's - From the Hip An excellent movie.

[@56postoffice]

I thought he was great playing a reluctant cop partner to Ice T in *"New Jack City."*

[@bluepinkman4785]

He was like 26 years old in the Breakfast club and his other co-stars were too young.

[@lidiaorekhova]

24

[@andyjulia]

Fandango is one of my favorite films. See it if you haven’t.

[@divinebadass7972]

Hi!! I am a distant friend to this actor and he is doing great, living his best life. If you want to show him some love, he is a big fan of gargoyles and art so if you want to post some of your best gargoyle creations (maybe a gargoyle doing the iconic hand raise at the end of the movie) I bet you he would love it! You can post it to your social media or maybe you can post it here on youtube or something. He enjoys his audience but he is a private guy by nature.

[@nostalgiasell]

It’s tuff seeing the 80s actors we love grow up and age😢. Sht is sad asf sometimes tbh knowing they’re gonna be gone soon. Hate to see people grow up but hey, that’s life

[@CITIZENCINEMATV]

He needs to be a marvel hero or villain

[@twizzlerlemonpie3083]

Nah. Hes in his 60's now probably thinking about retiring.

[@firedupplayers]

Doctor Octopus

[@scorpioqueen1989]

A father from A Girl In the Basement, was so handsome and cute! OMG

[@JayBachochin]

Really? No mention of FROM THE HIP (1987)? This movie was Classic! A perfect dramadey! Really showed off Judd’s humor and drama.

[@MrMannerless]

Wow, I didn’t realise how much I didn’t need to see this until I watched it!

[@trinaq]

Judd Nelson certainly doesn't look like he did back during his Brat Pack days, but I'm glad that he's getting regular work in "Empire". 😁 Once a criminal, always a criminal!🖤

[@kamikazeekobra7187]

He actually does 🤷🏾‍♂️ i dont expect you to look to totally the same after more than 30 years ..

[@kenianpark2216]

Probably because this isn't 1985.

[@benitaydiez]

also ‘girl in the basement’ he still does the criminal rols, he’s so good at it.

[@katiestier5454]

I love The Breakfast Club!

[@evanjiang9393]

He's also now in girl in the basement

[@aadamtx]

FANDANGO is a great road trip film, and Nelson does a great job. He's also been excellent in his creepier roles but has a flair for comedy.

[@denisebohar4338]

Love this guy

[@Kyle-vb3fz]

He was in Airheads. That was the only thing I could remember before clicking on this video.

[@meltonjhon1]

I watched the breakfast club for the 1st time last night

[@andrewdaley3081]

What did you think of it. Andy England 🇬🇧👍

[@Ghosthost22]

You forgot that he was in my fave movie from the early 2000's: Lost Voyage; Which also has Lance Henriksen in it

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

Judd Nelson can still act. He does get a few roles still. I really liked him on the TV show NIKITA. He played the role of "Nerd's" father. Good looking still. Only a bit heavier than he was as a kid but 3 hard months of Gym training and he would be ready to rock and roll. His Net Worth is published as $8 million dollars. He is doing very well for himself and his family.

[@LighthouseLover1989]

I hate when a celebrity's net-worth is posted online. It's absolutely no one's business how much money someone makes, as long as they're happy doing what they love, and as long as it isn't hurting anyone else. 🤦🤷

[@hussainabbass6697]

He also appeared in STEEL Shaquille O'Neal comic movie

[@JM-Ju]

My fav char of Breakfast Club, loved Billionaires Boys Club ...

[@kryoboy1966]

What about RELENTLESS with robert loggia.he was an unhinged serial killer in that.great movie from the 90s.

[@peytdawgs9909]

That movie rules!

[@antoinettemosley312]

Love this movie....had such a crush!!!!

[@JamesKirkWilkinson]

Wow! What a career! I've seen none of his work aside from the Breakfast Club.

[@jimramos2613]

Judd Nelson is a badass actor he is back then but still knows how to do even I still like him in other TV shows and movies he does great job of any of them I'm down to watch the movies of Judd Nelson 👈🙏👍. Still to me from this point so if I have to say my favorite of Judd Nelson I will say The breakfast club the classic movie and also I really like him and suddenly Susan

[@danielcobbins9050]

You forgot that he was also in a horror movie called Nurse 3D, that also starred Paz de la Huerta.

[@jescee8018]

*I first saw this on Pitch Perfect 1 haha.*

[@SIKE01]

if JOHN CUSACK was cast as BENDER we would not have gotten that totally improvised iconic power salute at the end.

[@eileenmclaughlin985]

SHOO I LIKED ALL OF THEM. ON BREAKFAST CLUB.

[@sarahbroom1636]

Judd Nelson reprised his role of Rodimus in Transformers Animated in 2009, Titans Return in 2017/18 and Power of the Primes in 2018; btw clip you showed was from 2015 Robots in Disguise which he wasn’t in.

[@johnoksys7713]

From The Hip He Played A Lawyer

[@M613M]

If this doesn't list Jay and Silent Bob Strike back we riot! (...ok maybe not the best term to use nowadays)

[@jonasirw1]

Phenomenal actor

[@LighthouseLover1989]

I find Judd Nelson handsome with and without a beard, but more handsome with one. 🥴☺️💘

[@forestdoughty5282]

a very dynamic star.

[@Thrumm]

My favorite Judd Nelson movie is From The Hip where he plays a brash, hot shot lawyer who is given an unwinnable case.

[@siamabedin5807]

4:34 y’all can’t say that doesn’t look like the 80s him

[@Vandetta333]

Here, let me save you seven minutes. Judd Nelson when I want to a successful career on television, still acting to this day. You’re welcome.

[@margaretthai588]

I remember him. Interesting. I like him. 😃

[@lougarcia8420]

Missed probably one of his best movies “From the Hip”

[@elnini2796]

What a legend

[@jameslyons3010]

His character in tbc was like a pre stifler in american pie

[@acidbath3226]

bruh i didnt know this guy was in airheads!

[@jimramos2613]

To be honest I really like Judd Nelson a great actor I really did like him and The breakfast club and also suddenly Susan and some other movies that I think I really like like steel DC superhero movie 1997 👍👏👏⚡❤️💯. I was so shocked that he was in two and a half Men in the episode and also he was on empire so many more that there's so many stuff that he's really good at like he was my favorite actor I still think that he is the best no matter what

[@jackburtonstwin]

Who can forget Robin "Stormy" Weathers.

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Wow

[@VidWatcher01]

I just saw him in The Girl In The Basement where he plays a controlling father that keeps his daughter trapped in secret room under his basement for 20 years. It was really messed up.

[@LisaRichards_123]

I got so tired of waiting for the subject of the title of this video, then I finally quit watching it

[@fpg213263fu]

They are now the Evening Dinner Club.

[@patrickcolon8809]

I like this video, but the title seems a bit peculiar........"Whatever happened to Judd Nelson?" insinuates that he has rarely been heard from since the Breakfast Club movie. And that is far from true.

[@Hugh1911]

Always thought this was the man vs good guy 🤣

[@coldaswinter2]

Don’t you forget about me💪🏻

[@Bakaat777]

If you haven't seen Fandango, you are missing out on one of the best. It will make you feel VERY melancholy about youth, college and actually growing up. I WAS the Gardner Barnes type, and I had FUN! I'm 58 now, but I'd STILL be doing crazy shit, if my parents, 91 and 85, didn't need me. I messed up and got married... at 36! LOL I righted that wrong. ;-) MGTOW

[@Chaos-mw5lr]

Other than the Breakfast Club Boondock Saints his two best rolls

[@kennethhickman4583]

I can't remember the name of the movie but he plays a lawyer. it's a comedy. in the 80s I think. it starts out with him trying to wake his gf by pouring cold water on her while she's asleep. pretty funny in places.

[@Blink182bae]

It’s called from the hip

[@joeriley3721]

Pretty good acter.

[@GoombaPlayer]

wow

[@unstepintime]

Was great in Billionaire Boys Club.

[@masterpunk7205]

Judd Nelson played that bastard Don Cody in Girl in the basement.

[@jimmyrobot3170]

Rodimus wasn’t even in the series. He was voiced by Judd Nelson in the 86 movie, though. But get your damn facts straight

[@bulock3]

You forgot “from the hip”

[@meandi5956]

I love Fandago

[@2legit2Kwit]

He was such a hot bad boy in BC.

[@MrZedblade]

Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

[@waterbabe2697]

I thought he was hot in the Breakfast Club . That must of been it the bad boy thing . 🎉❤

[@worldaccumelites848]

U forgot THE BLACK HOLE /2006

[@anthonyhenderson4322]

This man should of played Bruce banner/hulk

[@hawaiianpunch6534]

I think the guy was an asshole. I was at the Troubadour In West LA one night. The light turned green so I can cross the street and this Porsche was revving his engine and spinning his tires on his red. The dude guns it almost hitting me. I asked, "Who the hell was that?" Everyone said, "Judd Nelson".

[@benitaydiez]

a friend of mine met him and he was very nice and funny!

[@TrippingOverParadise]

Who is narrating this? She sounds like Giada De Laurentiis.

[@gertfrobelives]

What about 8 rules for dating my teenage daughter?

[@UziNineMillomeetah]

No dad, what about YOU!?

[@imaouima]

Go fix me a turkey pot pie!

[@therealmr.incredible3179]

No good son of a bitch

[@Crazydocia]

He moved to LA, that’s all I know.

[@richbrown9741]

Don’t leave off the black cult classic New Jack City!!
