Close explained how the pair met when they did Variety’s “Actors on Actors” conversation last year.
She shared, “They said that Pete Davidson wanted me to interview him and I said ‘What?’ And we ended up doing this, as everyone was doing Zoom, video together and we had the best time… and we stayed friends.”
Cagle responded, “Well, I don’t blame him for wanting Glenn Close to [be his friend],” to which Close insisted: “I know, but it’s a pretty even exchange.
“There are things about Pete that I really love and he’s great to be around. I so respect the way he talks about what he’s going through, and you know, just that alone has I’m sure helped millions of people.”
