Are Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck friends?

Popular American actors, Matthew Broderick, and Alan Ruck have been friends for decades. The two first met while on the Broadway production of Biloxi Blues. They later starred in the popular film, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. 

After several years of filming the popular movie, Ruck shared in an interview that he had in 2020 that he had an idea for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off sequel which would’ve taken a different twist.

“There are always little rumors, and different writers will come up to me at parties or awards shows and say, ‘I’ve got a great idea,’ and then you never hear anything more about it. Back in the day, John Hughes talked to Matthew briefly about maybe having Ferris go to college. I always thought they should wait until Matthew and I are in our 70s. Cameron’s in a nursing home, and Ferris comes and breaks in out,” he said.

Ruck once shared that he was paid $40,000 for his role in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
