‘My Spy' stars Dave Bautista, Chloe Coleman open up on close friendship

Dave Bautista and costar Chloe Coleman have a deep bond and friendship.

Bautista, 55, and Coleman, 15, became friends when they starred together in the 2020 comedy My Spy. The duo then reprised their roles for its recent sequel My Spy The Eternal City.

The duo appeared on the Today show with Hoda & Jenna alongside their castmate Ken Jeong, 55.

“These are my buddies. I really love them,” Coleman said of the Dune 2 star and Jeong.

Bautista agreed, quipping that he is Coleman’s dad and Jeong is her uncle. “I couldn’t love her any more if she were my own child,” he exclaimed.

Between the original movie and the sequel, the duo kept in touch, with Bautista even supporting Coleman at a dress rehearsal for her high school production of She Kills Monsters in March.

Gushing about their bond, the teenager said: “I think what’s so special about our friendship is that he comes even out of work to support me. That meant the world to me, and it was so exciting that you were there.”

“Because I love you and I’m so proud of you,” the Guardians of the Galaxy star said.
