Brooke Shields considered former President George H.W. Bush such a close "confidant" that she would ask him just about anything.
Shields, 59, admitted that she considered the late politician her substitute grandfather during an event to support the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy's New York Celebration of Reading event at the Lotos Club.
The actress and author, who will soon publish her new book, "Brooke Shields is Not Allowed to Get Old," even had a nickname for the 41st president of the United States.
"I call him Papa Bush. I was dating somebody [whose father] was an ambassador in Bermuda … He was my confidant about this boyfriend," she said, per Page Six.
Lauren Bush Lauren, Bush's granddaughter and host of the event, laughed as she recalled, "He loved some good gossip."
Shields dated Kelly Gaines in the early '90s. His father, Eb Gaines, was the head of the U.S. consulate in Bermuda under Bush. Shields once told Redbook in 1991 that Kelly was a better kisser than John F. Kennedy Jr.

I am not sure is this is weird or wholesome?

Sounds cute.
Speaking as an older man, I would be extremely flattered if a beautiful young 20-something woman was coming to me for advice.
I’m sure both Barbara and George loved playing the role.

Considering what her parents put her through as a child (movie Pretty Baby as an example) there could have been far worse fates than becoming a sort of Bush clan adoptee.
