Broderick & Ruck: 40 Years Later, Comedy Duo Reunites

Matthew Broderick recently shared insights into his career-defining role as Ferris Bueller, suggesting that his and co-star Alan Ruck's 'timeless' hairstyles contributed to the 1986 film's lasting success. Broderick recalled wanting Ferris to appear effortlessly cool and likable, avoiding the common pitfall of making a character who 'gets away with everything' unlikeable. He humorously noted that their hairstyles from a prior military play, 'Biloxi Blues,' prevented potentially dated looks like mullets.

Broderick and Ruck, who played Ferris's anxious best friend Cameron Frye, have recently reunited for a new comedy project titled 'The Best Is Yet to Come.' This film, based on a French movie, sees the lifelong friends embarking on a road trip after a misunderstanding. Ruck confirmed to PEOPLE that filming has already wrapped and the movie is in post-production. He expressed that working with Broderick again felt remarkably easy and seamless, despite nearly 40 years having passed since 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.'
