In the fictional future, Pretty in Pink Duckie (played by Jon Cryer) comes out as gay, believes Molly Ringwald, who played Andie. “I’m sure that Duckie came out by now,” she tells EW. To which Cryer agrees: “Molly had a very good theory about that. She said, ‘Andie and Blane probably did not end up together, but Duckie and Andie ended up friends for life.'”

Great film.
Was there anyone in the entire world who saw that film and who didn’t think Duckie was gay, though?

Before I was out my friend’s mom always told me I reminded her of Duckie and I would get embarrassed. Now I’d only be embarrassed if she said I reminded her of Jon Cryer on Two and a Half Men.
