It seems that being John Malkovich includes reflecting upon your mistakes.
Last week, the “In the Line of Fire” star pulled a rare move by opening up to the “Fashion Neurosis” podcast about his notorious affair with one of his co-stars, Michelle Pfeiffer.
The two Oscar-nominated actors began an actual liaison while filming 1988’s “Dangerous Liaisons,” and it could be considered dangerous because both were married at the time, Malkovich to fellow actor Glenne Headly and Pfeiffer to Peter Horton.
Shortly after their affair, both Malkovich and Pfeiffer split from their respective spouses in 1988, and their dalliance seemingly fizzled out.
“It’s not something I’ve ever really talked about,” Malkovich told podcast host Bella Freud 25 minutes into the episode of his past romance with Pfeiffer. He added, “Put it this way. In the work I do normally, you make emotional bonds with people very quickly. That’s kind of part of the work. Very rarely, those bonds extend beyond the work.”
