Brooke Shields Recalls Having Her “Best Kiss” with John F. Kennedy Jr.

But the Blue Lagoon actress was not interested in more than that at the time. “I froze though because it was so precious to me,” she explained, “and I was like, oh my God, you’re falling in love and if you sleep with him, he may not talk to you again, and you can’t handle that.”

Shields added that she suspected her date wanted to take things further, though “I wasn’t playing a game.”

“I was so afraid of being really hurt,” she continued, “because if I slept with him, I would have given him my entire universe, my heart, my everything.”

According to the actress, Kennedy had her find her own transportation back to her hotel. “I had to get a cab home,” she said, “which is a little less than chivalrous.”

Awkwardness ensued the next day as they saw each other again on the ski slope. “He didn’t look at me and he didn’t talk to me,” Shields said. “And on the one hand, I was like, ‘S–t,’ and on the other hand, I like, ‘Oh, thank God, thank God,’ because he still might not have talked to you, even if you had and you would have given something that he wouldn’t have like, cared about. He showed his true colors in that.”

Their situation got a little more uncomfortable when the snowy weather prohibited Shields from leaving the trip. “We got stranded,” Shields recalled. “We were all supposed to leave. We got snowed in and he had to stay in the house my mom was renting. So, then it was my mom and John-John and me in this chalet and it was just like, [This was surreal.'”
