It’s an award-winning friendship.
Eight-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close shared on SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show” Tuesday that she had been “dying” to see Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson at Monday’s star-studded event, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan.
“It was a room full of very interesting people. But I didn’t get to mingle around and to find — I was dying to find Pete Davidson, who’s my friend, and meet Kim,” the “Fatal Attraction” star, 75, shared.
Close said that she and the Staten Island native and “Saturday Night Live” comic, 28, got to know each other when interviewing one another for Variety’s Actors on Actors last year, per Davidson’s request.
“We had the best time. ... And we stayed friends,” said Close, noting that Davidson is “great to be around.”
She applauded his vulnerability when it comes to discussing “what he’s going through,” noting she’s confident “that alone ... helps millions of people.
“He’s lovely. He has a lovely spirit,” Close said.
Much of the buzz concerning Davidson and girlfriend Kardashian’s Met Gala appearance has centered on the 41-year-old reality star donning the dress worn by Marilyn Monroe for John F. Kennedy’s 1962 birthday party.
Kardashian revealed that she lost 16 pounds in three weeks — during which time she cut out sugar and other carbs and increased her exercise regimen — to fit into the dress, a confession that’s been slammed by “Riverdale” Lili Reinhart as “f—cked” and “disgusting.”
“To openly admit to starving yourself for the sake of the Met Gala. When you know very well that millions of young men and women are looking up to you and listening to your every word,” Reinhart, 25, wrote on her Instagram Story this week. “The ignorance is other-worldly disgusting.”
