HOW ARE THEY REAL
#squadgoals
Never stops making me smile. I want someone like this in my life. š
Okay so the best thing,the best thingĀ about Sirs Patrick & Ian being best friends is that they met because of the X-Men movie.
I saw Sir Patrick speak a year or so ago and someone asked him about their friendship. Ā He told this story about how I think theyād once or twice worked on the same production but had had very little interaction, and that when heād been a kid, heād utterly looked up to Sir Ian, who had had an established theater career at a very young age.Ā
People assume that theyāve been friends since they were young, which makes sense given the sort of work theyāve done and their career trajectories, but no. Sir Patrick basically had a giant hero-crush-from-a-distance on Sir Ian for most of his lifeĀ AND THENĀ on the set of X-Men, their trailers were put next to each other and they were significantly older than anyone else on the set, so they started spending their downtime together.Ā
And became inseparable. Ā And this is amazing.Ā
So everyone who wants a friend like this, you have time. <3
