All 5 Stars of The Breakfast Club Reunite for First Time in 40 Years: ‘Very Emotional and Moved to Have Us All Together’

'The Breakfast Club' main cast reunited for the first time in 40 years at a C2E2 panel in Chicago on April 12, 2025. Costars Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall and Emilio Estevez reflected on their time on set of the coming-of-age film.

Ringwald, 57, also noted that the convention marked the first time Estevez, 62, has joined them, joking that "We don’t have to use the cardboard cutout anymore. The actor also explained that the reunion felt "special" given the location of the convention as the movie was famously shot at a high school in the Chicago suburbs. Elsewhere in the panel, Hall, 56, and Ringwald revealed whether they had to audition for their roles in the classic movie after having starred in Hughes's Sixteen Candles the year prior.
