Heather Locklear opened up about a surprise date she went on with Tom Cruise over 40 years ago.
The 62-year-old actress shared details about how she met the Top Gun star, also 62, and the date they went on when they were both in the early stages of their acting careers.
During a panel at 90s Con Florida on Saturday, she explained that they crossed paths at an audition sometime in the '80s, according to PEOPLE.
They went out dancing at Club Lingerie, and Locklear -- who admitted in 2013 that she was turned off by his dance moves -- recalled that he was 'very nice' on their date.
However, the self-proclaimed 'rock and roll girl' felt that their styles did not fit well together.

'We both did an audition for the film together -- the two of us -- and I was like, "Oh my gosh, I'm terrible.'
Jokingly, the Melrose Place alum added: 'He's even worse!'
'So, at that time, he was just like this little baby boy that I feel like I was a little bit older, and he ended up coming over to my house with Sean Penn,' she continued.
'And they were just nice, but he was very "yes ma'am" to me, and I was like, "Okay, sir",' she added.
The Dynasty star, who previously said that they went out together because they were both new in Los Angeles at the time, said with a laugh: 'He didn't quite cut it.'
She then shared more details about their first date.
'We went out dancing to Club Lingerie at that time, and I've said this before, I mean, he was really cute.'
She also pointed out that she got to witness Cruise's dance moves and was one of the first people to see what ended up being his famous scene when he slides on his knees in his 1983 film Risky Business.

'He actually did that before [the movie], and I was dancing along like, "Do you stop dancing if they're down there?" I was like, "Yay!" But he was very nice to me,' she recalled.
About the audition where they met, she noted: 'Neither of us got that part by the way.'

They divorced in 1993, and she married Bon Jovi lead guitarist Richie Sambora the following year until their separation in 2007.
