“Yes we are. We’re actually, I would say friends,” Mackie said. “I sleep on his couch, he has a very nice couch. A very nice couch.”
Mackie went on to describe Stan’s couch in great detail.
“Like that couch in Restoration Hardware you want with all the pillows that has the deep sides,” said the actor. “It’s like a daybed but a couch.”
He continued, “It’s like a $5,000 couch… and then he has the cashmere blankets that are too small but they’re so warm you curl up to fit under them. He has those. It’s a good couch, it’s a good couch.”
