Tina Fey & Steve Carell Only Became Friends 15 Years After Working Together!
Tina Fey and Steve Carell first worked together on 2010′s Date Night, but their relationship didn’t go beyond coworkers for well over a decade.
“Steve Carell and I made a whole movie together without ever breaking through to the other side because we’re both very shy,” the 54-year-old Mean Girls star told THR.
“Without anyone to make us talk, he and I would both sit in polite silence. After working with this big group, I feel like Steve and I are actually all-the-way friends now,” she went on to say of their new project together, The Four Seasons on Netflix.

At the premiere of the show over the weekend, Steve agreed.
“It only took 15 years for us to become super tight besties,” he told THR.
“We had a great time together before, but we are super shy. This is about as gregarious as you will ever see me, right now, in this interview,” he said.
“So, the two of us, I think we’re very similar in that we don’t want to bug the other — it’s like, ‘I shouldn’t text her, should I call her? No, she’s got kids, and they’re busy.’ But she was thinking the same thing, and we’re very protective of each other that way, I know she’s got a lot going on. So, yeah, on this one we became buds. It was really fun, she’s the best.”
