You and your BFF might have something in common with best friends Olivia Rodrigo [1] and Iris Apatow. While promoting her new comedy movie, "The Bubble," on "The Drew Barrymore [2] Show" on March 25, Apatow revealed that she and Rodrigo have a TV-watching tradition [3] that has withstood the test of time. While some people bond over "Insecure," "Friends," or scam-artist documentaries [4], Apatow and Rodrigo like to indulge in episodes of "Sex and the City [5]."
In an interview with Vice [6] in early 2021, Rodrigo said, "I think [Iris and I] are Carrie and Samantha from 'Sex and the City [7].' We are dramatic, fiercely loyal, and we both love going to brunch." For anyone who identifies as Carrie or Samantha or just loves taking "Sex and the City" quizzes [8], the news that Rodrigo and Apatow also can't get enough of the "SATC" crew is worth a Miranda and Samantha double "Yes!"
Apatow also told Barrymore that she and Rodrigo loved attending "Euphoria [9]" watch parties with her friends while season two was airing [10] to support her sister, Maude Apatow, who plays Lexi Howard. For many friends, bonding over movies and TV shows is a must, so it's nice to know that we'd be able to share our fan theories [11] with Rodrigo and Apatow should we ever score an invitation to one of their hangouts.
A quick glance at their Instagram accounts is all the proof we need to know that the pair have a ton of behind-the-scenes fun when they're not scoring multiple award-season accolades [12] or looking glam on the red carpet [13]. Keep reading for all the details on Apatow and Rodrigo's adorable friendship, including that one time they got matching heart tattoos [14].
