Brooke Shields: I Lost My Virginity At 22

Buried in a Q&A with Health magazine, Brooke Shields let slip how old she was when she lost her virginity - 22 - and her regrets over it.
Q: What's your biggest health regret?

A: Not learning to love the way I looked earlier. And I think I would have had sex a lot earlier! [Laughs.] I think I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22. I had the public and all this pressure, and I wish I had just gotten it over with in the beginning when it was sort of OK. I think I would have been much more in touch with myself. I think I wouldn't have had issues with weight--I carried this protective 20 pounds [in college]. It was all connected. And to me, that's a health regret.

Shields is twice married with two young daughters.

WHO CARES? WHEN OR IF YOU GOT IN TOUCH WITH YOURSELF.
What does that have to do with it? All the teens out there who are "getting in touch with themselves"
yeah right. Bad Example. Stick with the toothpaste commercials.

(Brooke Shields: I Lost My Virginity At 22.)

And I lost any interest in the topic upon reading it.

[Hollywooddeed]

Hey, I lost my virginity when I was 22, too! Weird!

[ChristianBernstein]

but that was to your brother, eh?

[montecarlo408]

Comments like this from Brooke make me think that Tom Cruise was right, and that's not good if I'm agreeing with Tom.

22 years old, Brook? From the way mom pushed you ,I bet it's more like 12 or 13 years!

[weedhighnightmare]

wgaf?

[WierdWookie]

Who cares? Last week it was her Mother problem. Looking for some publicity?

[sarahwaters]

Why is she talking about this? She hasn't made a movie in a 100 years. Why is she still in the public's eye. Who cares about Brook Shields except Brook Shields.

[cinesimon]

From the comments here, you'd think she held a press conference about it!

Don't give Shields grief: if you have an issue, give the gip to those who deserve it: the gossip press.

[peacekitten]

good for you, brooke.

now please tell us why we should care about that little bit of TMI.

[pokemon]

Mine was 13.. I bet you all care so much too.

[whoknew---]

That's young....too young....I believe I was playing with dolls still when I was twelve (though not in front of my friends).

[ChristianBernstein]

pokemon is a boy, silly girl.

[ObamAtomic]

Michael Jackson?

[icemilkcoffee]

Now that's a scary thought.

[AbeMartin]

Why should anyone care?

[munki]

agree 100% infiniti

[AlexFTW]

She could have at least mentioned my name...you'd think I was chopped liver or something.

[vain jane]

so you went between her and her calvins?

[hapaglloyd]

I remember that ad real well ,late 70s or early 80s.

[gcswift2]

Why does she think we care when she lost her virginity? If You do care ... WHY?

[ibivi]

Did she volunteer this info or was she asked? What does it have to do with anything at this point in her life? It is not necessary to tell us everything Brooke. Or does it just keep you in the public eye?
