Aries Rat and Virgo Rooster

James Caan (3/26/1940, Aries Dragon), Scott Caan (8/23/1976, Virgo Dragon) : The father and son actor and actor/director shared a close bond. In a joint interview after they collaborated on the film, Mercy (2014), Scott Caan described: "Our instinct is to laugh and punch each other and have fun...He’s obviously had some failed attempts at marriages. But there’s a lot of people that do that and they go, 'I’m never doing that again.' My dad is a good example of someone who digs into life and goes, 'Yeah, that tore my heart out, but I’m going to try again.'...We’re different. People would say [to him] you’re an artist, and he would say, 'I’m not an artist. Picasso was an artist.' So I’d get on him for that because I think he’s one of the best at what he does and I think it is an art." James Caan said: "I have a very unique relationship with Scott. He grew up with me. [I took] [a]bout six years off my career. Not just for him. I went through some bad times. I lost my sister and I got a little goofy and I got on drugs — coke — and I went through all of that. He was attached to my hip."

Chloé Zhao (3/31/1982, Aries Dog), Salma Hayek (9/2/1966, Virgo Horse) : The actor and director worked together on the film, Eternals (2021). Hayak described: "I had some problems with the script and we got into a serious fight at my house. We were both passionate. And she was like, 'No, but that's not how I designed it.' The people outside my house were calling it a fight, because we were kind of screaming. We continued to talk and talk, and it went on for a long time. The people outside were so nervous that I was going to get fired. I came out and I said, 'Wow, I'm in love with her brain!' That was the best creative conversation I've ever had with a director in my life, and she felt the same. She told me, 'Wow! That was amazing. It was just complete freedom. We found our middle ground. While finding it, we came up with other ideas. It was super exciting."

Brooklyn Decker (4/12/1987, Aries Rabbit), Andy Roddick (8/30/1982, Virgo Dog) : The model and former professional tennis player married in 2009 and have two children together. Decker described in 2018: "I was 22 and he was 27, we were both earnest and I think naive and optimistic and us against the world. We were like, 'We want to get married and want children and who cares,' and we just did it … I don’t know that we necessarily had that base partnership that is required when you get married. We were just infatuated with each other, and fortunately we’ve built upon that infatuation."

Nicole Holofcener (3/22/1960, Aries Rat), James Gandolfini (9/18/1961, Virgo Ox) : The director said about working with the late Sopranos actor in Enough Said, "He was a clown...very childlike. And very smart. All good things."

Pharrell Williams (4/5/1973, Aries Ox), Hans Zimmer (9/12/1957, Virgo Rooster) : The singer/songwriter/producer and composer have developed a strong friendship and working relationship, collaborating on soundtracks including the Despicable Me movies (2010, 2013, and 2017), Hidden Figures (2017), and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). Williams has described: "Hans is one of the most gracious spirits that I’ve ever come into contact with. His belief and his support and generosity with projects, and his willingness to be patient with me and teach me, has just been an experience that … I don’t know how to put it into words. His generosity is just unmatched. All my life I’ve had what I call 'light towers,' people who just see and signal you in the right way, and if you listen to them, you’ll always make it to your destination. At the age of 41, I found another one, and his name is Hans Zimmer." Zimmer said: "Spending time with Pharrell is experiencing a hurricane of ideas. His music is borne out of a thirst for the knowledge of everything — painting, writing, science, psychology, history. But it’s not a cold intellect that informs his art. At the center is a steadfast real concern for the human condition, and the charm he brings to his work is grounded in genuine love for his fellow man."

Micheline Roquebrune (4 April 1929, Aries Snake), Sean Connery (8/25/1930, Virgo Horse) : The French-Moroccan painter and James Bond actor were married from 1975 until his death in 2020. Asked about how they managed early in their relationship, given she did not speak English, Roquebrune famously said: "Oh we had no problem communicating — body language!" Their marriage survived a well-publicized affair Connery had in the 1980s, and Roquebrune cared for Connery as he struggled with dementia in his final years. In 2011, Connery said: "Micheline is an amazing woman. She is the love of my life."

Emma Watson (4/15/1990, Aries Horse), Rupert Grint (8/24/1988, Virgo Dragon) : The two actors co-starred in the Harry Potter films between 2001 and 2011. In the anniversary documentary, Return to Hogwarts (2022), Grint became visibly emotional telling Watson, "We’ve watched each other grow up. We grew up together. We’re family. We don’t need to see each — Oh, my God." Watson described later: "[T]hat was the most emotional moment [of the documentary] for me. When Rupert says things, he really means them. I was taken aback by how vulnerable and kind he was deciding to be so publicly."

Nastassja Kinski (1/24/1961, Aquarius Rat), Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster) : The actor and music producer lived together for four years until 1995 and had a daughter, the model Kenya Kinski-Jones. Kinski described in 1997, "For me, Quincy was someone who told me what to do and what was right...He was always there when I needed him and someone I could talk to and argue with. In a Freudian way he was the father I never had...It is a bit of an obstacle because you want to grow together in a healthy relationship...But I'm grateful for the time we had. I'm sure being with Quincy helped me become a better mother, a better human being."

Marlon Brando (4/3/1924, Aries Rat), Elia Kazan (9/7/1909, Virgo Rooster) : The actor and director collaborated multiple times, including on the classic films A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront. Speaking about the legendary scene in On the Waterfront where Brando's character says, "I could've been a contender," Kazan described: "I didn't direct that scene, really....They're perfectly-written lines [by screenwriter Budd Schulberg]. And Marlon naturally took to them....I think [Brandon and I] had a instinctive fraternity. I think we understood each other, almost from the word go, very well. And we would talk a lot about other things, but not a hell of a lot about the role...[H]e didn't need much instruction....[I'm not] being falsely modest. I think I'm a damn good director and have been a damn good director. But in this scene, I didn't direct that scene much - very little. I just put them there and so on."

Meghan Markle (8/4/1981, Leo Rooster), Prince Harry (9/15/1984, Virgo Rat) : The British prince and US actor married in 2018 and have two children. They have dominated the news during the early 2020s, including notably an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan, and the publication of Harry's book, Spare. Early in the relationship, Prince Harry described: "I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly — it was a confirmation to me that all the stars were aligned. This beautiful woman literally tripped and fell into my life. I fell into her life and the fact that she will be unbelievably good at the job part of it as well is obviously a huge relief to me because she'll be able to deal with everything else that comes with it."

Thandie Newton (11/6/1972, Scorpio Rat), Ol Parker (6/2/1969, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and director married in 1998 and have three children together. Newton has described: "[Parker is] [s]oooo calm. And we laugh, because I take the piss out of him. You know: shoulder-shrugging: 'It’s OK, babe.' And he takes the piss out of my … What would you describe it as? Highly emotional. As I’m thinking, the words will come. I don’t stop and think.' [with mock grandeur] Never been my way! That’s what it’s like in our house. A lot of music as well."

Ben Affleck (8/15/1972, Leo Rat), Jennifer Lopez (7/24/1969, Leo Rooster) : The two actors were one of the highest-profile couples in the world when they dated and got engaged in the early 2000s. After separating and building families with other partners, they reunited in 2021 and married in 2022. Lopez wrote about their wedding: "When he saw me appear at the top of the stairs that moment it both made absolute sense while seeming still impossibly hard to believe, like the best dream, where all you want is never to awaken...when I got close enough to see his face, it made the same wonderful sense to me. Some old wounds were healed that day and the weight of the past finally lifted off our shoulders. Full-circle — and not at all the way we planned it. Better."

Bridget Everett (4/21/1972, Taurus Rat), Amy Schumer (6/1/1981, Gemini Rooster) : The two comedians have been frequent collaborators, with Everett appearing in the Schumer-written film Trainwreck and all three finales of the show Inside Amy Schumer. Everett was asked in an interview about Schumer's rejection of the label "plus-size" being applied to her. Everett responded: "[Schumer's] reaction was just she's not plus size because she's not plus-sized...I am plus size. I am a big girl...Amy was the first person to tell me that I look beautiful and strong. There is no negative connotation to her about somebody being plus size. We never discussed this, but knowing Amy, I know that she doesn't want young girls or women that look up to her thinking that they are plus size — or fat — when they are a physically fit, strong size six to eight. It makes no sense...Amy is slim and trim and rock-hard and ready to go."
