Alicia Silverstone took a walk down memory lane when she was one of the many celebrity guests to attend the nostalgia-filled 90s CON in Hartford, Connecticut, over the weekend.
While repping for her classic film Clueless (1995) during a panel, a fan asked the actress if she would be interested in revisiting another film of her's from the 1990s: Blast From The Past, which she starred opposite Brendan Fraser.
'With Brendan? I would do anything with Brendan. It was so much fun,' Silverstone, 46, said, as reported by Variety, during Sunday’s panel with fans and her Clueless castmates Stacey Dash, Elisa Donovan and Breckin Meyer.
'I just saw Brendan after he won his Oscar and he's so cute. He talked in his speech about how we all go through this really hard time and you have to grow and it's part of life that you struggle and then look what happened to him!

In the acclaimed film, the Canadian actor portrayed Charlie, a 600-pound English teacher trying to salvage his relationship with his estranged daughter, who's played by Sadie Sink.

'The movie is funny and entertaining in all the usual ways, yes, but I was grateful that it tried for more,' he shared after its premiere, adding, That it was actually about something, that it had an original premise, that it used satire and irony and had sly undercurrents.'

When the doors unlock after 35 years (the amount of time his father believes the nuclear fallout will take to clear), Adam emerges into the modern world, where his
