As the world gears up for the documentary, FEMAIL has revealed what really happened to each of the Brat Pack members, and broke down the many difficulties they faced over the years.
During the early '80s, a group of young and aspiring actors were all propelled into the spotlight around the same time after they starred in a slew of coming-of-age films together - earning the nickname the Brat Pack.
Thankfully, most of them were able to move past their wild years, and have gone on to have successful and booming careers. Now, a new Hulu documentary, called BRATS, is set to revisit the many controversies that plagued the members of the Brat Pack after they skyrocketed to the top. While attending Santa Monica High School, Emilio co-wrote and starred in his own play about the Vietnam War, which left his dad fiercely impressed.
