"Emilio Estevez was definitely my first love"
About this Quote
The Estevez reference lands because it’s specific, not aspirational. She doesn’t say a mythic heartthrob or a faceless “first boyfriend.” She picks a very 1980s kind of crush: adjacent to the Brat Pack, famous but approachable, the sort of star you could plausibly imagine meeting. That proximity is the fantasy and the subtext. Moore is signaling an era when Hollywood felt like a scene, not a global content machine - when a young actress could have a “first love” that blurred the line between teenage longing and professional orbit.
There’s also a canny bit of self-mythmaking. “First love” sells innocence without oversharing, warmth without vulnerability you can monetize against her. It humanizes Moore in a way that’s disarming but controlled: the confession reads casual, yet it quietly reinforces her belonging to a specific generational mythology - the 80s star system, the tabloid ecosystem, the romantic lore that audiences still want from icons who survived it.
