"Me and Madelyn Cline," he told Live From E! Stream: Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2027 Runway Show during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 10. "She's just like my lavender wife."
And while the Overcompensating actor knows fans may laugh at their unmistakable platonic chemistry, he emphasized that the affection between them is sincere. "People think it's a joke," Gage said, "but there's real love there."
Indeed, Gage and Cline have been outspoken about their friendship, which started on the set of their 2021 movie What Breaks the Ice. Months before the pair denied a gossip blog's February post suggesting that they had gone from "friends to flames," the Glass Onion actress told Interview Magazine in 2025 that he was her "Gemini sister."
