with The Sunday Times<\/a>, Sara, who starred as Ferris Bueller\u2019s girlfriend, Sloane Peterson, revealed that despite the 1986 film\u2019s popularity, she didn\u2019t have the best time making the beloved flick. <\/p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t really give interviews because making \u2018Ferris Bueller\u2019 was not that good an experience for me,\u201d she told the outlet on Saturday. \u201cBut I\u2019m very aware of what a precious thing this movie is, and I don\u2019t want to disappoint people. But I didn\u2019t get along well with [director] John [Hughes].\u201d<\/p>\n
Claiming to the Times that \u201cJohn was a strange guy,\u201d she detailed why she thinks the director, who died in 2009 at the age of 59, was \u201cfrustrated\u201d with her when they worked together. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe wanted us all to hang out together and to introduce us to the French New Wave films. But the others were seasoned actors, and I was a snotty New York kid and had seen all those movies, so he was frustrated in that desire.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sara went on to admit that she believes she didn\u2019t have the \u201cemotional maturity to deal with other people\u2019s egos, or my own\u201d at the time. <\/p>\n
Sara, now 59, was cast in the film at 17, while her co-stars Matthew Broderick, Jennifer Grey and Alan Ruck were cast at 23, 25 and 29, respectively. <\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the interview, Sara told the outlet that while there are some things in her acting career that she\u2019s \u201creally proud\u201d of, she ultimately feels it was \u201cnot a happy career for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sara\u2019s remarks about her experience on set came after she revealed to People<\/a> last year that she hadn\u2019t seen the film in years and that doesn\u2019t stay connected to her former cast members aside from the virtual reunion they all had in 2020. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cFerris Bueller\u2019s Day Off\u201d star Mia Sara is opening up about her unsavory experience filming the teen comedy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":723501,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,72319],"class_list":["post-723500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ferris-bueller"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=723500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/723501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
