Richard Lewis And LD Go Way Back
Love Richard Lewis and Larry David together? What is it about their chemistry? Well, funny enough their on-screen banter has some real-life history to it! They used to be childhood rivals while at sports camp when they were about 12 years old. Richard Lewis spoke to OC Weekly, saying, “I despised the guy and he hated me. It was like Curb Your Enthusiasm, but at 12.” Then a decade later they became friends while doing stand-up and as Richard recalled, “We then traced our childhoods and then it hit me like a ton of bricks! I was like, ‘Ohhhh you’re Larry David from that camp!’ The odds that we would become best friends was so unique and so crazy, it bonded us forever. You can see that on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Ninety-nine percent is me fighting with him because we do it in real life.”
