Gemini Tiger and Libra Dog

Paul McCartney (6/18/1942, Gemini Horse), John Lennon (10/9/1940, Libra Dragon) : As founding members of The Beatles, the two musicians shared a close friendship, and formed perhaps the most famous songwriting partnership in history. In one of his last interviews, months before his assassination in 1980, Lennon described: "Well, you could say that [McCartney] provided a lightness, an optimism, while I would always go for the sadness, the discords, a certain bluesy edge...Paul had a lot of training, could play a lot of instruments. He'd say, 'Well, why don't you change that there? You've done that note 50 times in the song.' You know, I'll grab a note and ram it home. Then again, I'd be the one to figure out where to go with a song... a story that Paul would start. In a lot of the songs, my stuff is the middle-eight, the bridge...I always had an easier time with lyrics, though Paul is quite a capable lyricist who doesn't think he is... [A] lot of the songs we did eyeball to eyeball."

Cillian Murphy (5/25/1976, Gemini Dragon), Yvonne McGuinness (10/12/1972, Libra Rat) : The actor and artist have been married since 2004 and have two children together. Referring to the play and film Disco Pigs, which he starred in from 1996 to 2001, Murphy described: "That time, making Disco Pigs, was kind of the most important period of my life. The people I met there remain my closest friends...They shaped me in terms of my tastes, in terms of what I wanted to do with my life. And it was around the same time I met my wife. She came on tour with us. It was so exciting, 20 years ago or whatever it was – we were all just kids, trying to find our way – but such a special, special time."

Matthew Koma (6/2/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Hilary Duff (9/28/1987, Libra Rabbit) : The actor/singer Duff and singer/songwriter Koma have been together since 2016, and married in 2019. They have two children and share custody of Duff's child from a previous relationship. Duff posted in 2020, "Bubba, thanks for forcing me to go on that walk with you today (last year) I love you so much♥️...I will always choose sandwiches and 8 pm bedtimes over fancy date nights …. over and over again. My best friend, lover, and papa bear that cannot be rivaled…it’s always been you."

Laurie Metcalf (6/16/1955, Gemini Sheep), Zoe Perry (9/26/1984, Libra Rat) : The mother and daughter are actors who have also collaborated multiple times, including playing the same character at different ages in the show, Young Sheldon (2017-present). In a joint interview in 2018, Perry described: "For me, just thinking back to the first time we got to share a stage together when we did [The] Other Place [on Broadway, from December 2012 to March 2013] — it was such a lucky experience for me because I know what [Metcalf's] capable of. To get to rehearse with her and experience that side of it with her was just such a treat because she's such a pro and she's also really generous and she's also immensely respectful...I mean, you can't separate your own relationship, but she kind of managed to in a very loving way and I appreciated that." Metcalf said, "I also like the fact that Zoe and I are peers now in what we do...Now I have another peer in the family that I can turn to and get advice from."

Kathleen Turner (6/19/1954, Gemini Horse), Michael Douglas (9/25/1944, Libra Monkey) : The two actors displayed legendary chemistry when they appeared together in the films, Romancing the Stone (1984), The Jewel of the Nile (1985), and The War of the Roses (1989), and later the TV series, The Kominsky Method (2018-2021). In her memoir, Send Yourself Flowers (2008), Turner recalled about making Romancing the Stone: "For a time, I was sure I was falling in love with Michael. And I think he was falling in love with me. I was certainly inspired to portray [the character] Joan’s accelerated sexual awareness by working with Michael...[But] I saw that Michael wasn’t free to pursue another relationship. We couldn’t keep the romance. But we kept our friendship. Michael always says very nice things about me...as well he should. Michael and I did some very challenging scenes together. The mutual trust and the emotional connection we’ve always had enabled us to take on whatever hair-raising perils were necessary...Oh, yeah, there’s a little competition. Just a touch. Come on, wimp. Yeah. Oh, come on, Michael, I’ll do it. I’ll show you. But oh, God, the laughs."

Carmelo Anthony (5/29/1984, Gemini Rat), Kevin Durant (9/29/1988, Libra Dragon) : The two NBA basketball stars share a close friendship. Durant described in 2016: "[Anthony's] a real bro. That’s my guy. I’ve looked up to Carmelo since I was 15 years old. I wanted to be Carmelo. And once I got the opportunity to hang around him and get to know him a little deeper, coming into the Draft, I asked him for advice here and there and it just made things… it made the relationship even smoother." Anthony has said, "I’ve always heard that, from people back home...I’ve always heard that KD looked up to me. Now, I look at him as my peer. I don’t look at him as a guy who looked up to me. I respect that. It’s just hard, man, to see, to know, for me to fathom the fact that one of the greatest players in the world looks up to me, even now. It’s crazy — he looks up to me and I respect him and honor him, his game and his work ethic. That’s something that I appreciate about him."

Jaden Smith (7/8/1998, Cancer Tiger), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The musician and musician/actor have been close friends since they were teenagers. On Smith's 23rd birthday, Bieber published on Instagram: "Happy birthday to my brother and best friend. Thank you for your constant efforts in making this world a better place! I am so inspired by you. Keep being the leader and innovator that you are, we all follow your lead 😘😘."

Paul Daniels (4/6/1938, Aries Tiger), Debra McGee (10/31/1958, Scorpio Dog) : The magician and his long-time assistant were married from 1988 until Daniels' death in 2016. Daniels described in 2014, "[McGee] makes me laugh. Our relationship hasn’t changed over time: she still adores me. I hope we make each other feel very cared for and cherished. I would do anything for her – and I know she would for me."

Lil' Kim (7/11/1974, Cancer Tiger), Mary J. Blige (1/11/1971, Capricorn Dog) : The two celebrated hip-hop artists have been friends for decades and have collaborated on multiple occasions, including "I Can Love You" and "Hold On". Blige described Lil Kim by saying: "My baby girl, my little sister, I mean, one of the most incredible female rappers to open the door for so many women. She’s a trailblazer and one of the biggest rappers [and] most respected rappers in the business."

Polly Samson (4/29/1962, Taurus Tiger), David Gilmour (3/6/1946, Pisces Dog) : The musician and novelist have been married since 1994 and share four children together (including a son from Samson's previous relationship). Samson has explained: "David has always been incredibly, incredibly supportive of me. There’s a motif in [my novel] A Theater for Dreamers that starts when [the character] Leonard says how lovely it would be if he had a gardenia and a sandwich placed on his desk every day...And in our relationship, we take it in turns. David is as likely to get me a gardenia and a sandwich as I am to get him one."

Joaquin Phoenix (10/28/1974, Scorpio Tiger), River Phoenix (8/23/1970, Virgo Dog) : The two famous brothers grew up in an itinerant family and were always close. Joaquin Phoenix has described how River played songs for him on the guitar hours before River's tragic death in 1993. Joaquin also recounted: "[River] suggested I change my name [from Leaf back to Joaquin] and then, I don’t know, six months later, whatever it was, we were in Florida, we were in the kitchen, and he said, 'You’re going to be an actor and you're going to be more well known than I am.' Me and my mom looked at each other like, 'What the [expletive] is he talking about?’ I don’t know why he said that or what he knew of me at the time. I hadn’t been acting at all. But he also said it with a certain weight, with a knowing that seemed so absurd to me at the time, but of course now, in hindsight, you’re like, 'How the [expletive] did he know?'"

Flea (10/16/1962, Libra Tiger), John Frusciante (3/5/1970, Pisces Dog) : The two musicians have been longtime friends and collaborators, since Frusciante joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers at age 18. (Flea and fellow founding member of the RHCP, Anthony Kiedis (11/1/1962), were both born in 1962 and share this energy match with Frusciante.) Flea has described: "John Frusciante has a profound impact on everything that we do, and even when we wasn’t in the band he had a profound impact on everything that we do. He is just the most focused, dedicated, tapped-in musician who’s able to muster this diligence and focus about doing what he does consistently, that just uplifts us."

Elle Fanning (4/9/1998, Aries Tiger), Dakota Fanning (2/23/1994, Pisces Dog) : The two sisters were child actors who have gone on to have successful careers as adults. They have described the special bond between them and their shared development as actors. Elle Fanning has said: "[We] would play these elaborate scenes around the house. Like birthing scenes… I would be the baby coming out. Crazy stuff like that. We were doing it for ourselves; we weren’t, like, 'Oh, Mom and Dad, sit down and we’re gonna perform for you.' That was how we played."
