We are officially jealous of Brooke Shields.

The 45-year-old actress can still fit into the pair of jeans she wore at age 15 in the infamous Calvin Klein ad -- a whopping 30 years ago.

Appearing on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Wednesday, Shields was modest about managing to hold on to her girlish figure.

"They didn't look pretty," she said, "but they fit."

The mother-of-two told Ellen she was determined to "pour herself" into the jeans.

"I got those ******* zipped up!" she said. "I looked like a sausage in them, but I was going to get them zipped up if it was the last thing I did, so I could say that I fit into them!"

Some girls have all the luck. We don't even have to try on our jeans from high school -- we know they won't fit.

The Shields ad caused a firestorm in 1980 over the gorgeous 15-year-old's declaration that "nothing comes between her and her Calvins." Thirty years later, it still sounds pretty racy.

I will soon be 56!!! And from my neck down I look pretty ****** good- From the neck up low lighting may be required to appreciate the youthfullness...... But yes I can still fit in my teen jeans.

BTW luck had nothing to do with it. My father and his family were grossly obese. As a teen I swore off sweets and remain very active till this day. Say no to fast food, eat your veggies and get off that couch!!! Park in the most distant spot from the Wal Mart and walk it- save the close parking for the elderly...

Eat to live not live to eat... move it folks! Lets go!!!

Well, at least a couple shirts I had when I was a kid.
I don't think I've grown that much ):

well..I finished school in 2001 and wore a size 3 until 2003 when I had my daughter..now Im a 7. Which I believe I look better now than then. I was 100 lbs and when I look back I looked way to skinny. With a little meat on my bones looks so much better.

Although considering I'm 23 and couldn't gain weight if you force fed me, the fact I can still wear a pair of jeans I bought when I was 14 isn't that surprising. Honestly I wish I was a little bigger. Do you have any idea how **** it is to find a pair of size 4 dress pants in walmart?

If I remember correctly, at 15 I wore a size 14 boys jean.
I thought graduating to a womanly 27" Levi was a BFD.

It's not **** to do though...haha. Also I really don't think anyone needs to be jealous of Shields. She admitted they didn't look good and she had to squeeze into them and looked like a sausage. That doesn't sound like "fitting" to me.

having graduated fro HS 20 years ago... i can't fit into my 80's jeans (and i don't have any of them left-thank goodness, acid wash - ewwww) BUT i will say that i am happier w/ my figure than i have been in many years.

i am not and never have been "skinny" but i am pretty fit and have great curves... like a real woman should.

ewwww happier figure years skinny pretty fit curves real woman

i eat healthy (90% of the time) and i exercise... and i love the me that is.

spending every waking moment being worried about the last few pounds i would like to lose isn't healthy... so i just don't think about it.

i am buying smaller and smaller jeans and next year should be able to wear jeans in my HS size... only 3 sizes off right now. Not bad for a mother of 2!!!

Uh or maybe if you were an overweight teenager, you'd find it pretty easy to fit into those jeans...unless you'd become morbidly obese.

no, because the article is about jeans fitting you, not about you being able to semi get inside them.
