- 80s star finds new fan base on Twitter
- Sets the record straight in a Reddit interview
- And yes, Judd Nelson was a bit of a d***
HOW does '80s teen star Molly Ringwald get "hotter" with age? By drinking the blood of Twilight starlet Kristen Stewart.
Fans of the former teen queen learned this comedic gem as the Breakfast Club star took to Twitter and Reddit in one of the website's signature ?Ask Me Anything? interviews.
They also learned that Ringwald - who was once considered the greatest teen star of all time and who describes herself as "everyone's teenage crush" - has quite a sense of humour.
Asked what she would take with her during a zombie apocalypse. She replied: "They'd slow me down but I'd have to take my 2-year-old twins.
"Luckily my husband is a third degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He can break boards with his butt. Just bragging."
Entertainment Weekly was so impressed with her interview they declared the 44-year-old "still cool. Like, really cool" and called her interview a "smashing success".
Jezabel called the exchange "unprecedented awesomeness".
"Molly Ringwald is now your best friend," the gossip site wrote.
But it was questions during the Reddit AMA about her relationship with some of her former 80s teen co-stars that really fired up her fans.
Ringwald confirmed that John Hughes, who directed her in the holy trilogy of teen films 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, almost fired teen hunk Judd Nelson on the set of The Breakfast Club because of his obnoxious behavior toward her.
"This is true," she wrote. "I think Judd was doing the method actor thing during rehearsals. He was wearing Bender's clothes and trying to annoy me. I was fine but John Hughes was very protective of me. ?
Ringwald singled out The Breakfast Club as the movie she would most like to watch again because it had the ?best script? but said making Pretty In Pink was the most fun.
Asked whether she was Team Duckie or Team Blaine - the names of the characters who fought over her in Pretty in Pink - she said ?I am Team James Spader." Spader played the bad guy in the 1986 movie.
When someone asked for details about a proposed "Sixteen Candles" sequel she replied: "I don't remember much about it, but the script eventually became Avatar."
The former Brat Packer recently joined Twitter and is already hooked, offering up more comedic gold to her 11,000 followers.
She?s already called Twitter her new boyfriend, says she doesn?t feed trolls because ?they fart? and tweeted pictures of her sugar snap peas which are "really putting out?.
Ringwald currently stars in the fourth season of Secret Life and is working on a jazz album.
