Aries Tiger and Libra Dragon

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (4/16/1947, Aries Pig), John Wooden (10/14/1910, Libra Dog) : The basketball legend and his coach at UCLA were longtime friends. Following publication of his bestselling book, Coach Wooden and Me: Our 50-Year Friendship On and Off the Court (2017), Abdul-Jabbar described: "What [Wooden and I] had that we loved together so much, you know, the things that we shared, the loves that we shared, you know, for literature and for sports other than basketball. 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."

Quentin Tarantino (3/27/1963, Aries Rabbit), Michael Madsen (9/25/1957, Libra Rooster) : The director and actor memorably worked together on Tarantino's first feature, Reservoir Dogs, and in total have collaborated on four films.

Russell Crowe (4/7/1964, Aries Dragon), Hugh Jackman (10/12/1968, Libra Monkey) : The two actors famously share a mutually supportive friendship. 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. I also owe him because two of the biggest roles I’ve ever had in my life, he turned down – and suggested me for them."

Emilio Estevez (5/12/1962, Taurus Tiger), Martin Sheen (8/3/1940, Leo Dragon) : The actor and actor/filmmaker are father and son. They have worked together multiple times, including on the films Badlands (1973), The Custody of Strangers (1992, TV), The War at Home (1996), Bobby (2006), and The Way (2010). Sheen has described about their connection: "You know, I don’t know myself without him. Our relationship — it’s sacramental… I was 21 when he was born, and so something very, very, kind of, mysterious happened with his birth… I’m looking at him, and it was like, ‘Oh, you’re the guy. I knew this was going to happen. I kinda knew you’d get here. And I see you’re the one. Okay, good. Welcome… Our relationship will develop.’ And it did. It wasn’t always pleasant. It wasn’t always easy. But we were teachers for each other."

John Schlesinger (2/16/1926, Aquarius Tiger), Julie Christie (4/14/1940, Aries Dragon) : The actor and director worked together extensively, including on the films, Billy Liar (1963), Darling (1965), and Far From the Madding Crowd (1967). After Schlesinger died in 2003, Christie wrote: "I remember an extremely provocative, mischievous character...When I auditioned for a part in Billy Liar in 1962, he did not think much of me as an actress - and took great relish in telling me so. I was not his first choice for the part and I was cast only after filming had started, but I am very grateful he took a chance on me...John thought I was a cultural snob, another thing that he always delighted in pointing out to me, particularly when I expressed horror at some of the films he liked and which I thought were dreadful...I will miss having a friend around with such a gift for shocking people out of their complacency."

Ron Perlman (4/13/1950, Aries Tiger), Guillermo del Toro (10/9/1964, Libra Dragon) : The actor and director have collaborated on multiple films, including Cronos (1993), Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), Hellboy II (2008), Pacific Rim (2013), and Nightmare Alley (2021). Perlman has described: "I had lost my whole sense of direction, and then I get this letter from Guillermo...identifying my work in all of these movies I didn’t think anybody saw. It’s the most beautiful, complimentary letter and, on top of that, he says, ‘I’m a young Mexican filmmaker and I’m sending you this letter with a script, this movie I hope to make as my first film, called Cronos.’ I read the letter and thought, ‘Oh my God, this is like getting a lifetime achievement award.’ Then I read the script and it’s the most beautiful, elegant vampire movie. But it’s not a vampire movie, it’s like if Charles Dickens wrote a vampire film – gothic and layered and very intellectual. We met and that was the beginning, as they say in Casablanca, of a beautiful friendship...Pretty much anything Guillermo offers me, I don’t need to read the script."

Simon Konecki (4/17/1974, Aries Tiger), Adele (5/5/1988, Taurus Dragon) : The superstar singer/songwriter and charity entrepreneur began a relationship in 2011. Their son was born in 2012, and they were married from 2018 until 2021. After their separation, Konecki bought a house across the road from Adele, and the couple share custody.

They have spoken several times about the closeness of their relationship, with Willow saying in 2016 that, "We're like binary stars, like two parts of one thing." In 2019, when Jaden was asked about dropping the "Smith" from his name for music streaming, he explained: "You want to know why? Because Willow's name is 'just Willow.' And everything is a character...Jaden and Willow are like a band. Me and Willow are like OutKast except we only ever release individual albums. You remember how OutKast did that one album [Speakerboxxx/The Love Below] where it was like two albums? Yeah. So that's me and Willow. It's like we're not really a band, but we kind of are. It's Jaden and Willow, we have to have the uniform names."

Ryan Phillippe (9/10/1974, Virgo Tiger), Reese Witherspoon (3/22/1976, Aries Dragon) : The two actors were married between 1999 and 2008 and have two children together. While the pair presented together at the 2002 Academy Awards, in an ad-libbed line that Witherspoon later said left her "a little bit flummoxed", Phillippe famously quipped that Witherspoon should present the award because, "You make more than I do. Go ahead." Since their divorce, they have made multiple public appearances with their children and spoken of their respect for each other. Phillippe said in 2014, "[O]ur kids are incredible. I'm proud of the way we've handled it and who our little people are."

Drake (10/24/1986, Scorpio Tiger), Rihanna (2/20/1988, Pisces Dragon) : The two superstar musicians were long rumored to have a romantic involvement, including at one time being seen with matching tattoos. In 2018, Drake described while on LeBron James' talkshow: "As life takes shape and teaches you your own lessons, I end up in this situation where I don't have the fairy tale, like, 'Oh, Drake started a family with Rihanna and this is like so perfect.' It looks so good on paper. By the way, I wanted that too at one time."
