Christopher Atkins is looking back at the making of The Blue Lagoon, sharing one uncomfortable behind-the-scenes detail.
In a new interview, the actor claimed that director Randal Kleiser pushed for a real-life romance between him and teenage co-star Brooke Shields, hoping that it would make their onscreen relationship look more believable.
Many viewers said the claim made them uncomfortable because Shields was only 14 when filming began.
