Brooke Shields explains the first observation that made her feel safe kissing a man at age 11

Brooke Shields is praising an adult she says “took so much care” of her when she was sexualized as a child actress.

The “Suddenly Susan” star said on “The Drew Barrymore Show.”On Tuesday, she heard that male filmmakers had exploited her as a child.

“It was about these men who needed me to be in a certain category [of beauty] I serve them the story. And it was never about me,” Shields said. “He never protected me. It was funny and loving at times, but it was – I was there. I was a pawn.

But Brookes credited one Hollywood man who didn’t fit that description: her “Pretty Baby” co-star Keith Carradine.

Shields was 11 years old when she played a child prostitute in the controversial 1978 film. Carradine, now 73, was 20 when she played Shields’ character’s love interest.

Shields told Barrymore that her first kiss was the one she and Carradine’s characters shared in “Pretty Baby.”

“Keith Carradine took such good care of me,” Shields said.

She told Barrymore what Carradine told her before filming the kiss scene: “He looked at me and said, ‘You know, this doesn’t count as a first kiss.’

“He was kind and protective and caring on a level that I don’t think I knew at the time,” Shields said, adding that up until that point he had “never kissed a boy.”

Shields details the filming of the kiss scene in her Hulu documentary, also called “Pretty Baby,” which was released earlier this month. In the documentary, Shields says he struggled while filming the intimate scene and that the film’s director, Louis Malle, was numbed by his suffering. Shields says she kept scowling in disgust during each outing, for which Malle scolded her.

Eventually, Carradine called a fight, pulled Shields aside, and calmed her down by telling her she was “faking it” and “making it up” — which was exactly what she needed to get through the scene.

In an interview with Rolling StoneDocumentary director Lana Wilson said: “This is a moment I wanted to present and unpack because although little Brooke was fully aware of the role she was playing and even though she realized that acting it’s fake, I can’t believe it: “This is an 11-year-old girl who has to kiss a real 29-year-old man.”

“This is unavoidably real,” Wilson continued. “And the impact of that is also real. Brooke, 11, expressed her discomfort while filming this moment, but that discomfort was not taken seriously by the director.”
