Brooke Shields Reveals She Ran Out Of The Room ‘Butt Naked’ After Losing Her Virginity At 22
Brooke Shields recalled running out of the room “ass naked” after losing her virginity to Superman star Dean Cain when she was 22 years old.
The memory came in the new Hulu documentary about Shields’ life, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields.
In the documentary, the 57-year-old said she felt “regret” about having sex with Cain for the first time, and that he was “more comfortable with the sexual part” of their relationship than she was.
The couple dated when they were both students at Princeton University, and Shields recalled how she was more interested in “the love and the commitment” side of their relationship, learning about each other while they were together.
In the documentary, Shields explores her complex life, which included posing nude as a young girl and being publicly sexualized in show business during her teenage years.

Shields laughingly recalled her first time sleeping with Cain when she was a junior in college.
“When we finally had sex, I immediately ran out of the room, running down the hallway naked, just running. I didn’t know where I was going,” she said
“He ran after me with the duvet, grabbed me and said, ‘Where are you going?’ He said, ‘I’m not going anywhere, I’m not leaving you, you’re the same person’, he got it right away and I just cried.
‘
“I wanted to get into the personal relationship and the love and the commitment,” she said in the documentary. “We had to teach each other about each other.”
She explained how she was baffled by her reaction to sex at the time, saying, “I feel sorry for that girl.”
“She was old enough to really own her own body. And I just couldn’t reach it at that moment.’
In her 2015 memoir, There Was a Little Girl, The Real Story of My Mother and Me, Shields previously described how her response was rejected by her mother’s possessiveness.
“I believe she only wanted me to stay with her,” Shields wrote. “She believed in an absolute hold she had over me and growing up, and having sex, would mean I was leaving her.
”
“It should have been what I wished for myself, but in an instant the guilt hit me in the face. Instead of giving in to what was a loving and emotionally secure relationship and escaping to the most intimate and deserved moment, I began to cry deeply and silently and became so overwhelmed that I jumped out of bed.”
In the documentary, the 57-year-old said she felt “regret” about having sex with Cain for the first time, and that he was “more comfortable with the sexual part” of their relationship than she was.

In the two-part documentary that aired April 3, Shields explored her complicated relationship with her mother, who watched as she was forced to seductively kiss Keith Carradine, then 27, in the 1978 film Pretty Baby, in which she played a prostitute on only 11 years old.
Ms Shields, 57, said she struggled to understand how her mother Teri Shields failed to intervene when she revealed that her own daughters, Rowan, 19, and Grier, 16, refused to watch it.
In the documentary, Rowan said, “It’s child porn! Would you have let us go [do that] at age 11?’
Shields replied “No” as she was overcome with emotion.
The star’s mother was an alcoholic who died in 2012. Shields, an only child, said she couldn’t be mad at her because her mother was so insecure.
The actress long brushed off her mother’s guilt — who allowed Shields to pose nude for a Playboy publication at the age of 10 — but Shields now admitted, “I don’t know why she thought it was okay.” Don’t know.’

The incidents weren’t the first she’s been sexualized by the media. At fifteen she shot ‘Blue Lagoon’ and then came ‘Endless Love’. Both featured sex and nudity, while she also appeared scantily clad in a Calvin Klein denim ad campaign at the same age.
When she was 16 and a global star, a family friend and photographer tried to sell nude photos he had taken of her when she was only 10. Her mother sued and the family went to court, but the photographer won.
Shields has been approached about documentaries before and always said no. But with a child entering college, and with her friend Ali Wentworth’s encouragement and a sense of security about her life from years of therapy, Shields felt the time was right.
She recently admitted that even in her books she didn’t tell the whole truth when it came to the nude pictures of her as a child.
“It was really too much for me to give in to that,” Shields said. “Writing about it just broke me. It was she I protected.’
