Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston is effortlessly cool and has been for decades. From her beloved role as Rachel on “Friends,” to her acclaimed performances in film, she’s kind of a big deal. But that star power hasn’t stopped her from professing her love for our boys from Birmingham.

Jen says:

“I don’t know if you remember a show at the Palladium, I think it was ’81 or ’82, but I had it on a VHS tape and watched it over 100 times. It used to put me to sleep at night. It was like my lullaby.”

“I was with Brad [Pitt] and he came and grabbed my arm, and dragged me over to the cashier’s desk where you [Simon Le Bon] were standing. And as if you were a specimen in a fishbowl, he goes, “Look!” Because he knew what a huge fan I was. I don’t even think I introduced myself. I was fangirling. I regressed immediately back to 12 years old.”

Robert Downey Jr

Robert Downey Jr. epitomizes cool. Best known for his portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Downey Jr. has redefined the superhero genre. His acting chops don’t end there. He’s had critically acclaimed roles in films like “Chaplin,” that put him on the greatness becoming one of Hollywood’s highest-grossing actors. Over the years, Downey Jr. has often cited Duran Duran as one of his favourite bands of all time. He even inducted the band in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.

Robert says:

 “Duran Duran invites us all to put our best days here, now and still in front of us. Cool, sophisticated fun. You know who’s got that in spades? Duran Duran. They own that space, and they have for over 40 years. Read the lyrics to ‘Paper Gods.’ Watch the video for ‘Celebration.’ Cry in the mirror as you lip-sync to ‘Ordinary World.’”
