Paul Newman and Robert Redford are the OGs when it comes to… well, most things, but specifically the concept of the bromance, a noun used to describe a close but non-sexual relationship between two males. Redford owed much of his career to Newman after Paul fought to get him a part in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid – the 1969 Western adventure – the film that cemented their friendship in the public eye and made the pair closer than ever. With Paul Newman doing many of his own bicycle stunts – because the assigned stuntman couldn’t – his reported anger at Redford for doing the same thing says it all about the pair’s affectionate bravado and competition and mutual sense of protection towards each other; “I don’t want any heroics around here,” he told Redford, “I don’t want to lose a co-star.” The blue eyed pair’s inevitable wild streak was made evident again when later filming The Sting, during which they bought matching silver Porsches to race each other up the Pacific Coast Highway in between takes – well, boys will be boys.
