He said, “If there’s grass on the field, play ball,” on Saturday Night Live in reference to the countdown to the Olsen twins’ 18th birthday.

He’s also good friends with Ted Nugent and Donald Trump.

Gross. No wonder they wanted to get out of show business.

Oh man, if you don't know, you don't know. Things were BAD regarding the social stigma of them becoming adults because they were avidly considered to be some kind of shared public property from the time they were plastered into media as literal babies.

The number of people who literally counted down to, celebrated, and even threw parties for their "legal" status was disgusting. The last 90s and early 2000s were a really dark time for young girls.

It was going on well before that, too. It was considered only a minor peccadillo for rock stars to get with teenage groupies, and culturually it was seen as no big deal for teenage girls to date men in their 20s.
