Andrew McCarthy ran into an awkward moment on The View after one of his comments made co-host Whoopi Goldberg pretty uncomfortable.
The 61-year-old actor was on The View to talk about his new Hulu documentary, Brats, which delves into the cultural phenomenon of the Brat Pack- the group of actors rose to superstardom during in the 1980s. The crew included: McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Anthony Michael Hall, and Emilio Estevez.
As McCarthy reminisced the past, he also discussed how getting older has given him a fresh perspective on his work.
Andrew said: “Well, I thought it would be good to do while we were still ambulatory. In that vein, I turned 60 last year and when you get old, and 60 is the beginning of old, you start to-.”
His casual comment didn’t go over well as the camera cut to Whoopi, who was making a strained face.

Although the actress is 68, her co-hosts tried to lighten the mood.
“Well, you’re not 60, yet,” Joy Behar teased her friend. To further ease the tension, she added: “I think a half century does it, too.”
The hosts quickly moved past the comment, giving Andrew the chance to continue explaining his perspective.
He continued: “My relationship with my past started to change. I looked back with more affection and things. The interesting part about the Brat Pack to me is I hated it at first and now I’ve come to realize it’s probably the biggest professional blessing of my life and how did my viewpoint on that change over the years… so I was interested in exploring that.”

Andrew’s documentary features a reunion of some iconic members of these actors, each contributing their own viewpoint to the narrative.
A few members of the Brat Pack also walked the Tribeca Film Festival’s red carpet as a preamble to the film’s premiere session.
They confessed during the movie that they hadn’t really connected much in 30 years.
“The irony is that when the Brat Pack was sort of created it ended it in a kind of a way,” Andrew said. According to him, revisiting their experiences brought them closer.
He added: “I think the warmest feeling I got from the whole thing was realizing how much affection we had for each other which that wasn’t necessarily the case back then, you know? Because we were young, we were scared, we were competitive.”
Returning to the theme of age, Joy contributed: “It’s one of the beauties of getting older.”
Andrew agreed, affirming that the Brat Pack are “the avatars of youth for a certain generation.”
