“I’m not making eye contact because everyone’s in sleep clothes,” Shields said. “And I’m like, ‘The windows were open and there was floods and I’m worried about the wood warping. So I cleaned it up and I just wanted to give you a heads up that that’s what’s happening. And I hope you have a really nice night. Thank you for having me.’”

“And I was just like, ‘Shut up, Brooke,’” Shields said. “And [Barbara Bush] goes, ‘Oh honey, Brooke saved the house from flooding.’”

Shields, who will publish her new bookBrooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Oldin January 2025, also noted that the former President and first lady were “very important in my youth and in my life.”“I don’t have any grandparents. I don’t have really many relatives except for my sisters with my dad,” Shields said. “And so he was that symbol to me, and I looked up to [Barbara] so much.” George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush both died in 2018.

“The cause itself is extremely important to me because I do believe literacy has power and freedom in it,” Shields said, adding that she also values “the power that comes from education.”
