Stanley Tucci in Love

Stanley Tucci loves Colin Firth. Not just in Supernova, where he and Firth play a couple grappling with mortality while taking a trip through England’s Lake District, but in real life. “We met 20 years ago when we were doing Conspiracy, which was a movie for HBO where we played Nazi [officials],” Tucci told Julie Miller by phone from London. “And me and Colin, we just sort of hit it off, and we stayed friends ever since.” 

Elsewhere in HWD, Yohana Desta takes stock of what a delayed Cannes Film Festival might portend for the 2021 film calendar; Bridgerton plots a sexy second season; Stephen Colbert welcomes Joe Biden to the White House; and Daniela Tijerina explains the power of Disney star Olivia Rodrigo’s chart-topping “Drivers License.”

Love Story

Stanley Tucci laughs that he and Colin Firth “should have” grown bored with each other 20 years into their friendship. “I’ve got news for you: Neither of us are that interesting.”
