Brooke Shields got a head start in modeling and acting, but the one thing she regrets not doing sooner? Having sex.
"I think I would have had sex a lot earlier," the actress tells Health magazine in its June issue. "I think I would have been much more in touch with myself."

"I think I wouldn't have had issues with weight — I carried this protective 20 pounds (in college). It was all connected," she says. "I think I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22."

Brooke the loser.

“Let me save you from low self esteem -— Brooke Shields says we should do it!”
Yes, I fail to see how being a public toilet for males who will screw anything with a pulse would have helped her "body image" or self-esteem. For most of us, growing up is what it takes.
Don’t be so sure. Erections have no conscience.
But they’re connected to things that do have a conscience.
Maybe Tom Cruise was right...seems like those AD’s may have addled her thinking. /sarcasm
Brooke’s been in Hollywierd too long, wasn’t she a Republican back in the 1980’s?
The market for that eyebrow shaver we were talking about the other day!
She could have called
Nothing wrong with eyebrows ;-). There’s no question that she was a beautiful girl, and she’s a well-preserved 40-odd now.
