*Actress Rae Dawn Chong, best-known for her role in the 1985 action film “Commando,” has revealed that she had a sexual relationship with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger in 1977, when she was 15 and he was 33.
The startling admission came while discussing her career with The Hollywood Reporter for an upcoming podcast. When Chong was asked about her appearance in the music video for Jagger’s 1985 track “Just Another Night,” she “accidentally blurted out” that she had sex with the rock star when she was a teenager.
She later clarified her comments in an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday.
“He never asked me how old I was and I never told him. It never came up. I remember thinking he was really cute. He had tousled hair. I thought, ‘Oh man, he is beautiful,” she said.
“He grabbed my hand and we jumped in his limo and went straight to a recording studio. The Stones were there, I was in the background. I remember being in there for hours and hours.
“Then I slept over at his apartment. I knew what I was doing. I was experimenting with Mick. I was having fun.”

Describing herself as “a Lolita,” Chong noted, “He did nothing wrong. He didn’t make me do anything I didn’t want to do.”
She added, “It was the 1970s, a different era. I wasn’t a victim. I don’t want him to get into trouble about this. It wasn’t traumatizing. I knew what I was doing. I wasn’t an innocent schoolgirl. I always acted a lot older than I was. I was a grown-up at 15.”
She recalled their intimacy as a positive experience. “He had great lips, he was a great kisser,” she said “He wasn’t that much older than me in my brain. He was 33 and young and gorgeous with a nice body. It wasn’t a bad thing, it was fabulous. Totally rock ‘n’ roll.”
According to Chong, “It didn’t traumatize me, it wasn’t a #MeToo moment, it was something that empowered me, too,” she explained. “I knew I had the power to pick and choose whatever man I wanted. I was keen to have every experience I could. Mick was part of that.”
Rae Dawn, now a thrice-divorced, 58-year-old grandmother, said she is only speaking out to ‘own’ the story after accidentally spilling the tea during the THR podcast.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she was asked how she landed the Commando role: “I got it because I’d been in a Jagger video and then they asked me how I knew Mick and before I knew it I’d blurted out that I’d had sex with him when I was 15. It just slipped out,” she explained.
“I feel incredibly bad about it. It’s me and my big mouth. My family and friends knew about it but it’s not something I have ever dined out on.”
Rae Dawn recorded in her journal in 1977 her liaison with Jagger, writing: “I got to experience being a groupie. Not that being a groupie is worth experiencing. I just had to go and be wild. Well I did it. I got to live with Mick Jagger, John Phillips, Mackenzie and Ron Wood… it was fun and full of excitement.”
