The star of The Breakfast Club now has his father Martin Sheen’s looks, a bromance with Alec Baldwin – and sad news for fans of St Elmo’s Fire
Unlike his father and his brother, Emilio Estevez never changed his name.

“My decision was met with a lot of resistance at the time,” Estevez tells me. “But it was abundantly clear to me that my father had earned his name and I hadn’t.”
