Brooke Shields recalled the time she had to barge in on President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara that struck the ‘fear of God’ in her at the time.

During Thursday’s episode of Today With Jenna And Friends, the actress and former model told the story to the former President and First Lady’s granddaughter Jenna Bush Hager.

It turns out she had struck up a ‘sweet’ friendship with her grandparents back in the 1980s, before they moved to the White House.

Fast forward to about 2010, the longtime politician and his wife, who have both since pᴀssed on, invited Shields to their $13.5 million home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

‘I was doing a movie in Boston, and I get a phone call –– doesn’t say who he is –– literally says, “Excuse me young lady, I hear you’re in the area. If you do not come to Kennebunkport, you are in trouble young lady,”‘ Shields, now 59, told the show’s host.

‘And of course, that was Papa Bush, so I brought my kids and we stayed there.’

Brooke Shields, 59, recalled how she once interrupted former President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush while they were in the bedroom

Not wanting to disappoint the 41st president of the United States, who she had long considered a surrogate grandfather, the mother of two went to the Walker’s Point compound with daughters Rowan and Grier, who were about six and three at the time.

Later that night, after putting her girls to bed, the visit took a turn for the worse when ocean water started ‘flooding’ the living room in the spacious home.

Rushing to grab towels to soak up the water on the floor, Shields revealed to Bush Hager, 43, that she started ‘panicking, right?’

She continued, ‘And I’m thinking, “Oh my God, I gotta tell somebody, but nobody’s in the house!”‘

That’s when she got the idea to head to the Bush’s bedroom to alert them of the problem, but hesitated momentarily because they were already in bed for the night.

‘So, I go to the downstairs bedroom and, like, with the fear of God [in me],’ she admitted, before describing the setting. 

‘They had their little TV dinners, their little BarcaLoungers, their little La-Z-Boys, and they were watching [Law & Order] SVU.’

It’s at this point that Shields replayed the scenario by placing both hands over her eyes as if not not want to look once she realized Mrs. Bush was ‘in her dressing gown.’

Still covering her eyes, she continued, ‘And I’m like, “I just want to tell you that I think the house might have flooded, but I think I got it.”‘

But to her surprise, Mrs. Bush didn’t seem to be uncomfortable with the situation, and then invited her to come join them while they watched the hit crime show.

While kneeling between the couple’s chairs the former First Lady pondered whether they should ask their house guest a lingering question about the plot of the episode.

‘She’s like, “George, maybe Brooke can answer this question … Ask her, ask her,”‘ Shields remembered. ‘He goes, “Well, who do you think did it?”‘

And with that, Shields’ stress over the moment dissipated completely and the three of them proceeded to watch the rest of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

‘I was like, “This is a moment of my life that was so special,”‘ she confessed.

After realizing the Bush home started to flood with ocean water, Shields decided to go the their bedroom to notify them, but was mortified because they were also in bed for the night

Shields went on to share about how President Bush became a grandfather figure to her by giving her advice on boys during her younger years.

Afterwards, Bush Hager thanked her Today guest co-host for sharing such a sweet story about her grandparents.
