Anthony Mackie talks about His Friendship with Rob


MTV "Rob, a good friend of mine, we were actually hanging out last night. I told him, 'Man, you know I gotta be in that "Twilight: Part Six.'" He told me he's going to look out for me."

Yes, I'm aware that here are currently no plans for a "Twilight: Part Six," but I was too distracted by the revelation about this new celeb bromance to ask more details about that. Instead I asked Anthony how on earth he and Rob became friends. "Me and Rob have been hanging out forever," he said. "He's a good dude."

In knowing how Rob likes to karaoke with his dude friends, I then asked Anthony if they've ever hit the karaoke bars together or sung duets.  "No, no. I saw him do karaoke. I was a little bit too shy to get up there," Anthony admitted. "He sang this Billy Joel song, that's when we did this Billy Joel, Billy Ocean medley. [It was] really crazy but it worked out."

Even better, Anthony revealed that Rob taught him how to do the all-important Edward Cullen Suspense Look, which he was all too happy to demonstrate for me.

"How's that? It's good, huh? I'm telling you, I'm working on it. There's got to be a black vampire. [We have] sweet blood, come on." (Um, hello! What about Laurent?)

So what does Rob think about Anthony making an appearance in a future "Twilight" movie? "He's down. We hang out more than we work together," he said. "He's my dude."

And just an FYI, Anthony is also best buds with a couple other favorites: Ryan Gosling (he and The Gos were in the movie "Half Nelson" together, as well as the upcoming "Gangster Squad") and Jeremy Renner (from their work on "The Hurt Locker").

Hmm... that's something new. Never heard of them being friends. He seems cool. In fact I remember him from the Adjustment Bureau, he played that guy who helped Matt Damon.

This guy seems nice enough, but my BS meter, (honed by years of being a school teacher), was going off like crazy during this interview. Is it just me?
"No, I was too shy to do karaoke, but we did this Billy Joel/Billy Ocean" thing. How does this sound to you? Did he do it, or was he too shy and did not do it? He looks like he just thought of Billy Ocean because it's another Billy name. OK, I need to just be quiet now and grab my drool bowl for the PCA red carpet.

"Me and Rob have been hanging out forever." LOL. I'm so curious how they know each other. I'm still scratching my head on this one. There has to be a common friend or something. They've never been papped together hanging out - not even mentions. This is so random but I have to admit it's pretty cool.

Rob sure does have a lot of friends we have no clue about. Not that we should know of course but you know being such huge fans sometimes makes you feel like you know all but goes to show we are completely clueless.

I really didn't know we had to know ALL of Rob friends or the origin of the friendship. What...he cant have friends outside the BritPack......weird.
