Glenn Close Was “Dying” To Meet Her Pal Pete Davidson And Kim Kardashian At The Met Gala

Glenn Close was "dying" to meet Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala.

The Fatal Attraction actress befriended the Kardashians star's boyfriend, Pete Davidson, when she interviewed him for Variety's Actors on Actors series in January 2021 and was hoping to spend time with him and his partner at Monday's (May 2) fashion extravaganza, but she didn't get the opportunity.

Speaking on SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show, Close said: "I didn't get to mingle around and to find — I was dying to find Pete Davidson, who's my friend, and meet Kim."

Close, 75, loves the Saturday Night Live performer's company and thinks he has a "lovely spirit".

Asked about the origins of their friendship, she said: "They said that Pete Davidson wanted me to interview him, and I said, 'What?'. And we ended up doing this, you know as everyone was doing Zoom, video together and we had the best time…and we stayed friends.

"There are things about Pete that I really love and it's, you know, he's great to be around. I so respect the way he talks about what he's going through, and you know, just that alone has I'm sure helped millions of people."

Cagle replied: "Yeah. Interesting life, clearly a comic genius. And like, even though his, his shtick is that he’s, you know, kind of a f***-up, he actually handles himself with such grace. He really does.”

Close agreed: "Yeah, He’s lovely. He has a lovely spirit.”

While Close didn't get to hang out with Davidson and Kardashian at the Met Gala, she still had a good time at her first Met Gala, noting everyone there was "jiving" to Jon Batiste's music, and she and Sebastian Stan "kind of glommed together" over their similar pink Valentino outfits.

She added: "Questlove's at my table, and Jon Batiste, and the man who runs Condé Nast [Roger Lynch] and Adrien Brody. And it was just…a room full of very interesting people." — BANG SHOWBIZ
