Off-screen romance

Love was in the air on the set of 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'!

Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Grey – who played siblings Ferris and Jeanie Bueller – sparked a real-life romance while working on the movie, though the relationship wouldn’t last very long.

By 1988, two years after the movie's release, the couple were briefly engaged, though split up soon after.

Years later, Jennifer recounted: "I was as surprised as anyone when our relationship morphed from on-screen sibling rivalry to off-screen illicit romance. Matthew just felt like my guy, he felt like home."

Even so the actress admitted her co-star could turn into a "grumpy grandpa" that made spending time with him difficult.

She said: "He was a 24-year-old who could easily slip into the persona of a cranky old guy when it suited him."
