Jon Cryer and Lea Thompson joined forces this weekend, a first for the two '80s icons.
Cryer, who famously played Ducky in the 1986 John Hughes classic Pretty in Pink before gaining TV fame on Two and a Half Men, is known for sharing his political views on social media. On Sunday, he was joined by '80s teen queen Lea Thompson—best known as Lorraine in Back to the Future and Amanda in Some Kind of Wonderful—for a 'No Kings' rally in Los a photo shared to Cryer's social media, he captioned the moment, 'Me and @lea_thompson bringing you the Pretty in Pink/Some Kind of Wonderful crossover you've been waiting for at the downtown Los Angeles #NoKingsDay protest.'
In the photo, the two ageless, politically active actors smile together while holding protest signs and the American flag. Star Wars fans quickly took notice of Cryer's T-shirt, which read 'I Have Friends Everywhere'—a line from Andor, part of the Star Wars was among the first to comment on Cryer's post, writing, 'A pleasure to march with you, sir.'
Other fans chimed in with their own photos and stories from protests across the country.
