Description
Four decades after its release, the 1985 sci-fi comedy Weird Science continues to captivate audiences. Directed by John Hughes, the film stars Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith as nerdy high schoolers who create a dream girl, played by Kelly LeBrock. LeBrock, now living on a ranch in California, stepped back from acting for family. Hall, who played Gary, has since starred in Reacher and is enjoying new dad life. Mitchell-Smith, who played Wyatt, left acting for academia, earning degrees in medieval studies and becoming a professor. Robert Downey Jr., who played the bully jock Ian, has since become a Hollywood A-lister, winning an Oscar for Oppenheimer and staying sober since 2003. Checkout Solipillow.com
