Virgo Tiger and Aries Monkey

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."

Bill Murray (9/21/1950, Virgo Tiger), Harold Ramis (11/21/1944, Scorpio Monkey) : The actor and actor/director collaborated on six classic films that have been called "extreme comedy", including Stripes, Ghostbusters, and Groundhog Day. After an altercation on the set of Groundhog Day, Landis and Murray did not speak for 21 years, until shortly before Landis' death Murray visited him in 2014. Landis described in 2004: "It’s a huge hole in my life, but there are so many pride issues about reaching out. [Murray] would give you his kidney if you needed it, but he wouldn’t necessarily return your phone calls."

Alec Guinness (4/2/1914, Aries Tiger), George Lucas (5/14/1944, Taurus Monkey) : The actor and director collaborated on the original Star Wars trilogy, with Guinness' Obi-Wan Kenobi becoming one of the most iconic characters in movie history. Guinness, however, was repeatedly critical of the project. While working on the first film, he described, "[N]ew rubbish dialogue reaches me every other day on wadges of pink paper—and none of it makes my character clear or even bearable." In his memoir, A Positively Final Appearance, Guinness wrote: "A refurbished Star Wars is on somewhere or everywhere. I have no intention of revisiting any galaxy. I shrivel inside each time it is mentioned...[A] sweet-faced boy of twelve told me proudly that he had seen Star Wars over a hundred times...Looking into the boy’s eyes I thought I detected little star-shells of madness beginning to form and I guessed that one day they would explode."

John Derek (8/12/1926, Leo Tiger), Bo Derek (11/20/1956, Scorpio Monkey) : The actor and actor/writer/director were married from 1976 to 1998. Their relationship began when John Derek was married to actor Linda Evans, and Bo Derek was 17 years old—they lived in Germany to avoid prosecution in the US. They collaborated on films including Tarzan, the Ape Man (1981), Bolero (1984) and Ghosts Can't Do It (1989), which received negative reviews—Bo Derek received a Golden Raspberry award for Worst Actress for each of these films. Bo Derek has described: "That still breaks my heart, being part of breaking up a marriage is a horrible thing and I still can’t believe I was a part of it. I’ve said it before, but I’ll never forgive myself...I look back at that time in my life as a terrible mistake...Now, when I look back at the photos of me, I was young — 17 is young...There was no Me Too-ing with John. But yeah, I’m very conflicted about it when I look back on being 17 with a 46-year-old man. As I said, I thought I knew everything. It felt right at the time. I was so in love with him and we ended up together for 25 years. I’m just so grateful he was a good person."

Oliver Lynn (8/27/1926, Virgo Tiger), Loretta Lynn (4/14/1932, Aries Monkey) : The talent agent and country singer were married for 48 years and had six children together—three before she was 17. Their marriage was famously turbulent, inspiring songs by Lynn including "Fist City" and "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)". Lynn's 2002 memoir, Still Woman Enough—referring to her husband by the nickname "Doolittle"—described: "Lots of women have asked me how in the world I stayed with a womanizin’ alcoholic who could get violent like he sometimes did...I got taught that there wasn't no such thing as divorce among decent folks...[but] there’s something else made me stick to Doo. He thought I was something special, more special than anybody else in the world, and never let me forget it."

Julius Erving (2/22/1950, Pisces Tiger), Larry Bird (12/7/1956, Sagittarius Monkey) : The two basketball legends shared a famous rivalry, including an on-court fight in 1984 that resulted in both players being ejected. They also appeared together in the iconic 1980s video game, One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird. Erving was quoted in 2021: "We have some great wars over the years. We'll match up in the playoffs four times between 1980 and 1986, with the winner going on to the finals every season...[W]hen Larry says, as he has, that Michael Jordan was the best player he ever faced, I find it a little disrespectful. We beat them up pretty bad in some playoffs, and they got the better of us in others, but those are the toughest matchups for both of us. I don't think it's fair for Larry to say Michael is the best based on one great playoff game, the 63-point performance in Boston Garden. But then, Larry is always playing mind games, so he's probably still trying to psych out Magic [Johnson] and me."
