Emilio Estevez explains why he missed every Breakfast Club reunion: 'I skipped all of my high school reunions'

Forty years after making the era-defining teen drama 'The Breakfast Club,' Emilio Estevez finally attended a reunion, joking by way of apology that he also missed all his high school reunions.

Forty years after making the generation-defining teen drama that saw his jock Andrew Clark thrown together in a Saturday detention with popular princess Molly Ringwald, nerd Anthony Michael Hall, bad boy Judd Nelson, and introvert Ally Sheedy, Estevez finally deigned to attend a cast reunion. One poignant episode saw Bombay reunite with several key characters and players in the youth hockey team he originally coached in the 1992 film, including Fulton Reed ( Elden Henson), Averman (Matt Doherty), Adam Banks (Vinny La Russo), Connie (Marguerite Moreau), Guy (Garret Henson), and Kenny Wu (Justin Wong). The night before the first script read-through, Estevez said he'd "had all four wisdom teeth pulled" and was "on pain pills" when Hughes queued up a first cut of Sixteen Candles.
