Did your favorite ’90s and 2000s icons really party together on set? Well, buckle up buttercup, because Mandy Moore just served us the most delicious slice of behind-the-scenes drama, and we are absolutely LIVING for it.
In a recent appearance on Evan Ross Katz’s Netflix show Shut Up, Evan, the 42-year-old actress got real about her mischievous days filming the cult classic 2004 flick Saved! with none other than Macaulay Culkin. Here’s where it gets juicy: Moore casually dropped that she and the 45-year-old former child star got their drink on together—even though she was underage at the time. Cue the scandal!
“I do remember a little bit,” Moore coyly revealed, leaving fans absolutely SCREAMING for more details. The actress didn’t dive too deep into specifics, but honestly? The vagueness is making this even spicier. We’re left imagining what really went down on that film set, and our imaginations are running WILD, honey.
For those who need a refresher, Saved! was the iconic teen comedy that had everyone quoting it in study halls and at lunch tables nationwide. It featured an ensemble cast of young stars navigating faith, friendship, and teenage chaos at a Christian high school. Apparently, the off-screen chaos was just as entertaining as what made it onto film.
The internet has been absolutely DIVIDED over Moore’s confession. Some fans are clutching their pearls, shocked that their beloved childhood actress engaged in underage drinking. Others are applauding her transparency and honesty, noting that this kind of thing was pretty standard in Hollywood during the early 2000s. And then there’s the third camp who just think it’s hilarious and want MORE tea.
What’s truly iconic is that Mandy Moore is comfortable enough with her past to joke about it now. The actress, who’s come such a long way since her Disney days and is now a beloved fixture on This Is Us, clearly isn’t interested in pretending to be a saint. She lived, she laughed, she partied with Macaulay Culkin—and she’s owning it.
Macaulay Culkin, for his part, has been relatively quiet about the whole thing, but honestly, we wouldn’t be shocked if he comes out with his own version of events. The man has never shied away from controversy.
What do you think? A) Mandy Moore is a queen for keeping it real and being honest about her past B) Celebrities shouldn’t brag about breaking the law, even in retrospect
