The two stars of different fields came together for a podcast episode of The Forward. The video of the podcast was posted on the YouTube channel WEDŪ.
The impromptu first hangout
In October 2020, the academy award winner connected with Armstrong via a zoom call to discuss his book, Greenlights. While the two friends were discussing the book, they spilled some beans about the stories from their past too.
Reminiscing about the first time they “sort of” hung out together, Mathew said that once when he had returned from a road trip he randomly called up Armstrong and asked him if he wanted to go out and grab dinner.
Adding to the story Lance said, “yeah you said you want to go grab a dinner, and I said all right I’ll come pick you up where am I going I’m at lot 7 at the pecan Grove rv rv park I said what the ** is this guy ***ng with me.”
