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.

In a 2023 interview, Shields recalled a short break-up prior to their marriage. She described: "I was calling [Henchy] all the time, and he said, 'You broke up with me, this is the way it works. You don't get to call me every day, because you broke up with me. So don't call me every day.' [Smiling] But I want to talk to you...[I thought] I don't want to lose this person, so I better behave...[Henchy is] good at leveling me. Every time I finish with my therapist, Chris is like, 'Are you fixed? You're good? We're good?'"

They had four children. In 2022, Bob Newhart described: "The marriages of comedians, no matter how stormy, seem to last a long time, and I attribute it to laughter. No matter how intense the argument you're having, you can find a line, and then you both look at each other and start laughing. It's over, you know? I think that sense of humor is very important to the longevity of a marriage."

Chadwick Boseman (11/29/1976, Sagittarius Dragon), Viola Davis (8/11/1965, Leo Snake) : The two actors co-starred memorably in Boseman's final film, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020). They were both nominated for Academy Awards, and won Screen Actors Guild awards, for their performances. Davis described: "We have a lot of frauds in our business: people coming out of nowhere, having never done anything, and they want to be Meryl Streep in two seconds. This man was an artist, meaning you have to let go of your ego, your vanity; you can’t mistake your presence for the event, that you have to tap into a wellspring of pain, trauma, joy, all of that, and use that as fuel with your work. He was just one of those. You can have a 50-year career and never work with a Chadwick Boseman."

Maya Angelou (4/4/1928, Aries Dragon), Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake) : The media personality/actor and writer were friends from the 1980s until Angelou died in 2014. Speaking about the unveiling of Angelou's portrait at the Smithsonian shortly before she died, Winfrey described: "[H]ow blessed I am to have had Maya Angelou as a teacher, mother/sister, and friend since my 20s. I have learned more from her than from anyone else. Many of the most important things I know for sure were gleaned from conversations with her...No time with Maya is ever wasted. Whether sitting at her kitchen table and listening to her recite poetry (sometimes her own, but mostly others'—everything from lyrics by Paul Laurence Dunbar to a sonnet by Shakespeare) or watching her speak to an audience of thousands, as she did earlier this year in Texas, I always come away inspired to be more of myself."

Alicia Vikander (10/3/1988, Libra Dragon), Michael Fassbender (4/2/1977, Aries Snake) : The two actors have been in a relationship since 2014. They married in 2017 and have one child. Vikander described in 2018: "Of course he'd done more films than me, but immediately when we started to work together he was so open to wanting me to chip in new ideas and thoughts...He would be like, 'I'm stuck; what should I do?' and I would say, 'You're asking me?' That was such a sweet thing."

Keanu Reeves (9/2/1964, Virgo Dragon), Alex Winter (7/17/1965, Cancer Snake) : The two actors are real-life friends who also shared an iconic on-screen friendship in the films, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991), and Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020). Interviewed together in 2020, Winter said, "I think of [Reeves] as my brother." Reeves described: "We enjoy each other's company and our thoughts and takes on the world. When we come together, it's like, 'What are you thinking?' 'I don't know, but this is kind of funny.' 'Yeah, that's kind of weird too.' ... I love the characters. I love the world and I love working with Alex. I'm grateful that we had the chance to play again."

Herbie Hancock (4/12/1940, Aries Dragon), Chick Corea (6/12/1941, Gemini Snake) : The two celebrated keyboard players collaborated for decades, including as part of Miles Davis' band on the albums, In a Silent Way(1969), Bitches Brew(1970), and On the Corner (1972). In 1978, they began touring together, leading to the albums, An Evening With Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea: In Concert (1978), and CoreaHancock (1979). They reunited to tour as a duo in 2015. In 2021, Hancock described: "Chick was always playful; there was this kind of joy in his playing, and almost a childlike playfulness, like we’re playing in a sandbox, and it brought joy to me and then I would feed something and it would bring joy to him. We were like two kids. That was so inspiring and encouraging. There was never one hint of competition; it was all inspiration. So I could get inspiration from two [places]: I could get it from myself and from him. And I think he felt the same way."
