Jesse told The New York Times in September 2020 that he knew the relationship would stay. “I knew he was going to be in my life for a long time,” she said of their first collaboration.

I didn’t remember saying this, but one of my best friends told me that I told her that “I’m going to know this man for the rest of my life. I just know it.’ Just because I felt such an immediate connection.” The immediate connection makes sense—Jesse and Kirsten share a rare upbringing. Both are former child stars. Kirsten broke out with an ethereal and disturbing performance as a teenage vampire in the 1994 gothic sensation Interview with the Vampire. Jesse was just 3.5 years old when he started his career with a Coca Cola commercial. Related link Now, their sweet bond transcends their individual careers. Kirsten told USA Today in February that Jesse’s Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination brought her more joy than her own. “It was like I could release my joy more at Jesse’s nomination than my own, for some reason?” he said. “I can’t believe we got nominated together for the same movie. It sounds like an old fashioned thing that wouldn’t happen now. It is amazing to have this as a family and for our families. Everyone is so excited.”
