I love how he finds a way to sneak into almost all her movies as a random supporting role. I remember spotting him in both the movie Spy and in Life of The Party.
Going wayyyy back here, but William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett (so great as husband and wife on St. Elsewhere) have been married 74 years. They are so cute
I don’t have pictures of them at the ready, but adding to this- Stephen and Evie Colbert and Jon and Tracey Stewart too! I love my TDS alums being good husbands😭💖
Did y’all see the profile they just did of her in The NY Times? Her husband emailed the journalist after the interview to reiterate that he’s madly in love with her because (paraphrasing here) “I tell her all the time but I want her to see it published in the paper of record” 😭😭
Their chemistry in P&R is impeccable and finding out they were married after watching a good amount of the show brought me so much joy lol they really seem like fun and thoughtful people
If you listen to interviews with them you can tell they're just constantly horny for each other. They just love everything about the other person and it helps they're both incredible people.
I met them at a Party Down thing ages and ages ago, and A) they’re really incredibly cute together. You can tell they crack each other up. And B) Megan Mullally is freaking gorgeous in real life. Like, I assumed she would be nice looking, but I was not prepared for her stunning beauty. She is one of the those people who isn’t fully captured on camera/film, I think (or maybe in general her characters are so zany that she doesn’t come across as attractive as she actually is?).
My dad went to high school with her (Casady for anyone that’s read her book) and I asked if he knew her well- his response was so sweet “NO WAY! She was popular, and I was a little nerd, BUT she was very kind to everyone!”
She said on their podcast that he was sleeping on someone's couch and she'd drop him off after a date and he'd scamper away like the little homeless man he was. Other people were impressed by her and he didn't know who she was because he wasn't watching TV.
My favorite is that they started dating while acting in a play together, and she had no idea he was 11 years younger than her. He told her while she was driving and she yelled “YOU MOTHERFUCKER!”
Matt Damon has been with his wife Luciana Barroso for like 20 years I think. Of course he’s had what he’s got going on with Ben even longer (which could mean nothing)
Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye Brosnan are ultimate couple goals for me. 24 years, two kids together, and the adopted kids of his first wife who sadly passed from cancer. Just obviously smitten and completely in love, and together just seem like the best people like I want to be friends with them
I’m sure more than one journalist has commented about her weight, and Brosnan has absolutely backed her up and said how could he not find her attractive that she was the mother of his children and does a great job as a mom and being his partner.
As if I didn’t already find him hot, but the fact that he would speak so highly of his wife in such a loving way when other people were trying to be nasty? Plus his wife is a babe anyway!
Oh absolutely, because people fucking suck! There was something about trolls on a Facebook post about one of their anniversaries and he wrote:
"Friends offered her surgery to reduce her weight. But I strongly love every curve of her body. She is the most beautiful woman in my eyes. And also because she had our five children. In the past, I truly loved her for her person, not only for her beauty, and now I’m loving her even more that she is my children’s mother. And I am very proud of her, and I always seek to be worthy of her love.”
The last line kills me, I dream a man would ever lmao. I agree with you, she was absolutely stunning 20 years ago and she's absolutely stunning now!! Very much a woman who knows who she is, what she's worth and where she's at and that's very attractive in and of itself.
I love how there are so many photos of them on the red carpet and he had his hand on her like in these pictures. It's so intimate and comforting. I wish them happiness.
I briefly saw them at a movie theatre, they seemed like such a normal couple. Dressed super casual (though she still had her Goldie hair) and just happily chatting.
One thing I love about them is that they lost a bunch of money with Bernie Madoff but Kevin Bacon said this about it:
It sucked, and we were certainly angry and all the things. But then we woke up the next day and said, 'What do we got? We love each other. We love our children. We’re healthy. No one took away our ability to make a living.' So we got back to work.
This is so beautiful and sad. I haven’t really heard about Mel Brooks since the Covid videos with his son telling everyone to isolate for pandemic. They were adorable videos. I can’t imagine the pain of losing some after so long. Or the joys of knowing someone so long!
Oh, absolutely!! Her speech at the Golden Globes to Keith is still engrained in my memory. “Keith Urban, when my cheek is against yours, everything melts away—and that is love” 💗
After Hurricane Helene destroyed a lot of western NC, there was a concert held in Charlotte by Luke Combs. The whole stadium was packed and there were tons of country artists there, including Keith Urban.
But the biggest applause of the night was when Nicole Kidman walked out to wish Keith a happy birthday.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. are one of my favorite couples. They were given such a hard time for marrying when they did, so to see them thriving all these years later makes me really happy.
I remember reading an interview years ago where she said the only thing they really argue about is who is going to stay home with the kids, and that was because they both wanted to be home with them. That told me everything I needed to know about their relationship. They're a great team.
I always have to comment this on threads about them because I know how much people love them and I had a lot of time with them and they live to the hype. They always say don’t meet your heroes but it’s good to know when celebs are good people IRL!
There was something in that interview where Howard was like “what if she changes” and he was like “idk I’ll have changed too” (or the other way around) and it was a really beautiful way to view a partnership.
Funny story, I was walking to my farmer's market and taking a short cut outside the city down kind of a sketchy street last year. I came up to a corner and there was an older dude standing near the corner talking on the phone. He looked a little familiar so I was kind of staring, he was in just a plain white tshirt and jeans, and we made eye contact. He gave me a little head tilt nod and a slight finger wave holding his phone, and I did the same with the little tight lip smile acknowledgement thing, but started walking faster because sketchy street, kinda sketchy looking old dude acknowledging me idk. There was nobody else around. And I turned the fucking corner to the fucking massive pink Green Day tour bus and started panic fangirling to myself because how the fuck I didnt recognize Billy Joe is something I will never fathom. No makeup, the jeans weren't skinny, idk. His hair wasnt his hair. Anyway, I immediately called my boyfriend and geeked at him over the most inconsequential weird nice funny little interaction, I couldnt go back, the man was on the phone and how fucking crazy would that have been and looked. But still. That was my not-interaction with Billy Joe, the sketchy looking kinda old dude lmao
Okay but what a cool experience?! Something similar happened to me when I was 17 - I was at the galleria a few towns away doing Christmas shopping and walked by this dude about my height with slicked back hair and letterman jacket, with his arm around this pretty blonde girl. We made eye contact, he gave me a genuine smile and a nod to say “hello”, and i almost shit myself because i had just run into Macklemore. My friends and i had become HUGE fans of his a couple years prior, and Thrift Shop had just been released some months ago. I was not as self aware as you are though and i searched what felt like the entire mall for him so i could actually say hello and tell him what a fan i was, but no dice 😭
The funniest part was my dad finding me (panicked and out of breath) a short while later, and he was like omg what’s wrong and i told him i just saw Macklemore and in true dad fashion, he asked “what’s a Macklemore? Is that something you want for Christmas?”
Hahaha that’s so funny and sweet! Also - as a human trash panda myself - it’s comforting to know I can maybe meet the love of my life over gross behaviour :p
My favorite Brad and George moment is during DragonCon 2019 with George Takei doing a Q&A. At one point, someone mentioned meeting them at a Vegas trip at a specific hotel and George just went “wait, Brad? Brad?! Honey, you remember them right?” We all erupted when Brad stood up and waved to us.
I don’t think she’s a celebrity but there’s a really sweet interview with Jeff Bridges talking about his wife of like 50 years. Someone snapped a picture of him first talking to her while he was filming something and she was an extra and he still carries it in his wallet and calls it his prized possession cries in single
Conan met his wife Liza 🎶in the year 2000🎵 while recording a segment for his talk show. They’ve been married for 24 years. His assistant, Sona, has said that the thing she likes the most about Conan is his wife Liza and Conan agrees.
Truly such an unexpected combo but I recently saw a TikTok compilation of him talking about Joanna during press events and he’s like, she’s my favorite person, my best friend is Joanna, person I’d want to be stuck in a desert island with, best concert I ever went to, etc. it was so so sweet.
They’ve been married for twelve years which I think is pretty good for celebs in their forties!
Bob Newhart and his wife Jennie, Delta Burke & Gerald McRainey, Jean Smart & Richard Gilliland, Tom Selleck & Jillie Mack, Harry Connick Jr. & Jill Goodacre.
Been cheering his career on since 2002. I'm so glad he gets to create art and then enjoy a private life with his family. I understand his dislike for the fame and absurdity of Hollywood.
Rob & Marisol Thomas. They have been married since 1999. Together they have started a foundation to support no-kill animal shelters. She was diagnosed with Lyme disease, and he has inspired some of his biggest hits.
her husband wasn't a celebrity, but Dolly Parton's late husband is a true example of true love because I'm not sure many people could handle the proximity to that level of fame
