Guillermo del Toro has revealed that his good friend James Cameron was not only his housemate for a "long time", but also a fellow anime lover who introduced him to an all-time gem.
The legendary filmmaker, who just released Frankenstein on Netflix, visited the famous Video Club video store in Paris to film France’s version of the Criterion Closet, created by French media outlet Konbini Video, and it only took him five minutes to spot the DVD of Cameron's Avatar. Recalling their first meeting over 30 years ago, Del Toro said: "Instantly we liked each other. I don't know why he liked me. I know why I liked him, because he is a genius."
