But, you know, he was an English teacher. I was an English major. So we had that, and that was a tremendous bond. And it enabled him to reach into my life and for me to have insight into his life...[S]ometimes he didn't understand how race could affect somebody. And he didn't see that until he was with me, and we went through incidents where he saw that geez, he wouldn't like to have experienced that. And he didn't think that other Americans were that mean-spirited and cruel at times, the way that [B]lack people experience those emotions and sentiments from their fellow Americans. And he said he learned so much from what he saw me go through as his star player."

Jackman has described: "Russell and I actually became very close friends...We knew each other a lot. And [he] has given me advice several times at key moments in my life that helped with my career.

Andrew Rannells (8/23/1978, Virgo Horse), Tuc Watkins (9/2/1966, Virgo Horse) : The two actors have been together since they acted together in the Broadway production of The Boys in the Band in 2019. About announcing their relationship on Instagram, Watkins described: "I just couldn’t not talk about it anymore. It was just out of excitement. It was just joy. You’re always a little trepidatious to put things that are intimate about your life out there for the world to see, but I just couldn't help it anymore just because I liked him so darn much."

Ford joked, "I am so much younger-looking than I really am, and he’s so much older-looking than he is. But if you ask him, he’ll say he acted it." Although the younger actor had nothing but praise for Connery's contribution: "It was amazing for me in how far [Connery] got into the script and went after exploiting opportunities for character.

He never lightened up."

'I mean, she’s on fire.'"
