Hollywood friendships are often fleeting, but these two are an exception. Reminds me of how in our country, we have those dosti yaari bonds that last a lifetime. Good on Drew for publicly thanking Cameron.
I don't get the obsession with celebrity friendships, but this is sweet. Both of them have great chemistry on screen too, especially in Charlie's Angels. The nostalgia is real!
As someone who grew up watching these two in movies like The Holiday and 50 First Dates, this makes my heart melt. In India, we also have this concept of 'saheli' (best friend). So glad they are still close. 💖
These two defined early 2000s cinema for me. The Charlie's Angels era was iconic. Respect for keeping the bond alive while their careers went in different directions.
Friendship goals, no doubt. But I wonder why Cameron hasn't responded publicly. In our culture, we often reciprocate such public gestures. Still, it's a nice reminder to cherish those who stand by you. Just my two paise. 😊
I love how Drew always keeps it real and emotional. It's refreshing to see a celebrity
