Tom Cruise Did The Most 80s Thing On First And Only Date With Heather Locklear

Heather Locklear said Tom Cruise showed off the iconic sliding-on-his-knees move that he would later perform in Risky Business on their first and only date in the 1980s.

Locklear told 90s Con  Florida fans on Saturday in Daytona Beach that she wasnt sure how to react to the spectacle, People reported .

The former T.J. Hooker and Melrose Place star said she was dancing along with him at Club Lingerie in Los Angeles when she thought, Do you stop dancing if theyre down there?

I was like, Yay! But he was very nice to me, Locklear added.

The 1983 teen comedy Risky Business famously featured Cruises character dancing in his underwear to Bob Segers Old Time Rock & Roll.

Locklear said they had auditioned for a project together earlier and performed poorly, People noted. But he was really cute. He later showed up at her residence with another actor who would become a huge star.

So at that time he was just like this little baby boy that I feel like I was a little bit older, and he ended up coming over to my house with Sean Penn, she said, per the magazine. And they were just nice, but he was very, yes maam to me, and I was like, OK, sir.

She said she was a rock and roll girl she later married Tommy Lee of Motley Crue and Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi and Cruise didnt quite cut it as her type.

A wire photo shows Cruise and Locklear together at Club Lingerie in 1982, but its unclear whether that was their date.

Locklear previously addressed the awkwardness of watching him do the splits (as he also did in the notable sequence from the film) on the dance floor that night.

You just kind of stand there and dont know what to do, she said in 2013 . Do you dance around him? So, I was like, Ill just sit down and you can.
