This reminds me of stories Mark used to tell about Sir Alec, and how he would do everything possible to get him laughing. They would write letters to each other for years and years after the original trilogy wrapped up. Seeing each other's plays, etc.

I love learning about the stories of friendship BTS in Star Wars

Reminds me of a story I heard about Christopher Walken. Apparently during the filming of Rundown, Sean William Scott noticed him sitting outside his trailer looking sad. After asking him what's wrong, Walken said it was his birthday and nobody knows since he's filming. Feeling bad, Scott whipped up a suprise party for him amount the crew, and Walken was overjoyed.

Afterwards one of the crew took Scott aside and revealed that Walken does this on every movie he does, and suckers someone into throwing him a party. He probably gets a lot of extra birthday parties every year.
