Leo Tiger and Virgo Pig

Greta Gerwig (8/4/1983, Leo Pig), Noah Baumbach (9/3/1969, Virgo Rooster) : Actor/screenwriter/director Gerwig and director/screenwriter Baumbach worked together on the film, Greenberg (2010). They later became romantically involved, and have one child together. They continued to collaborate multiple times, including the films, Frances Ha (2013), Mistress America (2015), and White Noise (2022). They have also achieved notable independent successes during their relationship—at the 2020 Oscars, the films, Little Women (2019, written and directed by Gerwig) and Marriage Story (2019, written and directed by Baumbach) were each nominated for six awards. In 2019, Baumbach described, "I think the pleasure of writing for us is that it seeps into everything. I’d show [Gerwig] a cut of my movie, and then a few months later, I’m watching her movie. I don’t want to sound sickeningly happy, but it’s a truly great thing to watch someone you love make something and love the thing they make. I don’t know how else to say it without saying great a lot."

Audrey Tautou (8/9/1976, Leo Dragon), Jean-Pierre Jeunet (9/3/1953, Virgo Snake) : The actor Tatou and director Jeunet, both from France, memorably collaborated on the films, Amélie (2001), and A Very Long Engagement (2004). They have also worked together on a series of commercials for the perfume, Chanel No. 5. In 2018 joint interview, Tautou described: "[Jeunet and I] just need to look at each other on set and we understand. We always agree about a take." Jeunet said, "[Tautou is] the perfect actress because now we know she can do everything from drama to very light comedy. That’s pretty rare. She has a great sense of timing. And, of course, she’s very special with her face, like an elf...I made one or two mistakes on Amelie and she told me and I didn’t believe her but in the editing room I saw that she was right. Now I always listen to her."

Dustin Hoffman (8/8/1937, Leo Ox), Lisa Hoffman (9/1/1954, Virgo Horse) : Celebrated actor Dustin Hoffman and businesswoman Lisa Hoffman have been married since 1980 and have four children. They have known each other for a lifetime—his mother is friends with her grandmother—and got together as a couple when he was 38 and she 22. Lisa Hoffman described in 2017: "We work hard at [our marriage]. I knew I was going to end up with Dusty, and that my life would be traveling around with him. I say in Hollywood it is like dog years, so you have to multiply [our 37 years together] by seven." In 2016, she said, "That was an obstacle to overcome, that this is not a celebrity brand. I am so far from a celebrity, I just happen to be married to an actor."

Antonio Banderas (8/10/1960, Leo Rat), Salma Hayek (9/2/1966, Virgo Horse) : Mexican actor Hayek and Spanish actor Banderas have been friends for over 20 years. They have collaborated multiple times, including the films, Desperado (1995), Frida (2002), Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003), Puss in Boots (2011), and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022). Describing a love scene in their first movie together, Desperado, Hayek said in 2021: "One of the things I was afraid of was Antonio — he was an absolute gentleman and so nice, and we’re still super close friends — but he was very free. It scared me that for him, it was like nothing. I started crying, and he was like, ‘Oh my God. You’re making me feel terrible.’ And I was so embarrassed that I was crying." Banderas described in 2022: "[W]e practically started together in the industry here in America. We were coming from our own countries, so we met each other at the beginning of this road...[Hayek is] a real friend. Every time that we’ve been working together, immediately there is a chemistry that is very difficult to explain. I don’t want to intellectualize it. It just happens, and it’s great."

Barack Obama (8/4/1961, Leo Ox), John McCain (8/29/1936, Virgo Rat) : The 44th US President and longstanding US Senator were opponents for the presidency in the 2008 US election. Months before he died in 2018, McCain invited Obama to speak at his funeral. In his eulogy, Obama described: "We didn’t advertise it, but every so often over the course of my presidency, John would come over to the White House, and we’d just sit and talk in the Oval Office, just the two of us – we’d talk about policy and we’d talk about family and we’d talk about the state of our politics. And our disagreements didn’t go away during these private conversations. Those were real, and they were often deep. But we enjoyed the time we shared away from the bright lights. And we laughed with each other, and we learned from each other. We never doubted the other man’s sincerity or the other man’s patriotism, or that when all was said and done, we were on the same team. We never doubted we were on the same team."

Bernie Taupin (5/22/1950, Gemini Tiger), Elton John (3/25/1947, Aries Pig) : Acclaimed singer/songwriter Elton and lyricist Taupin have shared a 50-year songwriting collaboration that is one of the most successful partnerships of all time. Taupin described in 2019: "When we started it out it was really just me and him...I’d like to think I’ve been someone who can’t be ruffled by the insanity of [Elton's] career—and that I’ve always been there as the soft pillow to fall on in times of need...If we’ve weathered the storm now for over 50 years and have been able to maintain this extraordinary bond with each other, I don’t think there’s anything on god’s green earth that could separate us now."

Stephanie Allynne (9/19/1986, Virgo Tiger), Tig Notaro (3/24/1971, Aries Pig) : Comedian Notaro and actor Allynne married in 2015. They have two children, twins born in 2016. Allynne described in 2015: "I had not dated women before, and I think when we first started spending time with each other, I was so into Tig and I was falling in love with her and I didn't know how to identify it because I thought I was straight. I kept gravitating toward her and wanting to spend time with her, and then in the process of recognizing that in myself, I was like, 'Oh my god, I am fully in love with this person.' It kind of blew my mind in terms of sexual orientation, where you're like, 'I'm this way, and it's black-and-white.' I look back and go, 'God, I closed the door that I had no idea what was behind it.'"

Bill Murray (9/21/1950, Virgo Tiger), Sofia Coppola (5/14/1971, Taurus Pig) : The director and actor have collaborated multiple times, including the films, Lost in Translation (2003)—for which they both received Academy Award nominations—A Very Murray Christmas (2015), and On the Rocks (2020). Speaking about Lost in Translation, Coppola described: "It was about when you have a connection with someone. You never know. When you encounter someone you can instantly be hit by a look or a sense of humor. It was something that’s romantic without a sexual or real relationship. It does not mean he could actually be with you, but you could still have something of that bittersweet aspect. It’s the best way to connect with someone...[Murray's] so smart. He got what that character was looking for. We didn’t talk about it. He showed up and knew the tone of it. He found it as we went. He just got it. I feel a connection with him, in that he understands what I’m trying to do."

John Slattery (8/13/1962, Leo Tiger), Talia Balsam (3/5/1959, Pisces Pig) : The two actors have been married since 1998, and have one child. They played husband and wife, Roger and Mona Sterling, in the series, Mad Men (2007-2015), and also appeared together in the film, Return (2011). Slattery described in 2019, "I just found the right person, you know, I lucked out. I guess marry someone you like. We get along well, we always have, and I guess being in show business, some people say it’s difficult. I don’t know. We understand the rhythms of this life, which aren’t easy sometimes and there’s insecurity. You’re not sure where you’re going to be. So I don’t know. I got lucky."

Emilia Clarke (10/23/1986, Scorpio Tiger), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The two actors formed a close friendship when they collaborated on the film, Last Christmas (2019), which was co-written by Thompson. Clarke described: "I remember just looking at [Thompson] and being like, 'Just let me know if I mess it up.' She was like, 'What!' Gets me in this huge hug, and is like, 'I’ll do nothing of the sort. You’re going to be fine.' That was the dynamic from there on out. She just supported us in [this] magical way. I hadn’t met her before [the film] but I had been pretty obsessed with her my whole life. When I met her, she exceeded all of my expectations...I’ve had the good fortune of going to visit her and [her husband] Greg’s house in Scotland. They love a good sauna. You jump into their stream, you get freezing cold, and then you jump back in the sauna, and then get back in the stream. It was me, Emma, and Greg in the nude in a sauna, jumping back and forth and shrieking…it was a dream."

Jeff Garlin (6/5/1962, Gemini Tiger), Larry David (7/2/1947, Cancer Pig) : The two comedians have famously become close friends through their collaboration on the show, Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000-present). Garlin described in 2011: "We discovered our connection during the audition process for the initial Curb special, and it felt instantly like we'd worked together our entire lives. I don't know why we have this relationship, but we do. Maybe we were slaves together in an earlier life. And in Curb Your Enthusiasm we were doing what we did and not having a clue whether people would get it or like it. The fact that it's gone on to be a big success, I am shocked. Because it truly was something that was organic, that we did to make ourselves laugh."

Tony Bennett (8/3/1926, Leo Tiger), Amy Winehouse (9/14/1983, Virgo Pig) : The two singers collaborated on the song, "Body and Soul", from Bennett's Grammy-winning album, Duets II (2011). The song was Bennett's first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for 45 years, and proved to be Winehouse's last recording. In Bennett's autobiography, Just Getting Started (2016), he wrote: "Should I have told [Winehouse] that I'd contended a little bit with [drugs and alcohol] myself and knew how you can fall into a bad cycle, but I also knew that you could bring yourself back? Would it have made a difference if someone she considered an idol had said to her something like, 'You're my idol. You are a once-in-a-lifetime talent. Please don't take that from the world.' [Maybe I should have said: ] Walk away from it all, if you like. Just live. Please."
