The Skeleton Twins actor, Bill Hader, stopped by Entertainment Weekly and took a trip down memory lane. The hilarious actor and comedian revealed who his first movie crush was and what he was really like in junior high... and it is awesome.

So who was Bill's first celebrity crush? Phoebe Cates in Gremlins! And her sexy scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High didn't hurt when it came to choosing her as his crush.

"We rented Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and it was so funny, it was a tape of that, and the minute that pool scene came on, it went [does noise] because so many people had watched it and rewound it so many times," Bill explained during his Entertainment Weekly Pop Culture Personality Test.

The Saturday Night Live alum, who stars with former SNL costar Kristen Wiig in the upcoming drama The Skeleton Twins about suicidal siblings, admitted that he wasn't such a hit with the ladies when he was younger. In fact, he had no clue what women really liked, especially when it came to music.

"My favorite song in junior high... My dad was a big Frank Zappa fan, so I remember listening to a lot of Frank Zappa. Girls do not like Frank Zappa," Bill said.

"You can't get a girl in a car and play Hot Rats and be like, 'Willie the Pimp.' And they're like, 'Is there any music to this? Is there any lyrics?' And I'm like, 'Oh, that's a guy singing. His name's Captain Beefheart.' And they're like, 'Can we put on TLC or something?'" the 36-year-old actor recalled.

The Skeleton Twins is now playing.
