Alan Cummings moment on the Hollywood Walk of Fame turned into an unexpected talking point when a very familiar face showed up to support him.
When the Scottish actor received his star, fans quickly noticed that Monica Lewinsky was right by his side, proudly supporting him during the ceremony.
Cumming, 60, looked the star in a bright turquoise suit paired with matching shorts as he celebrated the milestone.
But it was Lewinsky, 52, who surprised many by attending as one of his closest supporters.
Dressed in a striking red pantsuit, she joined him on stage, kissed him warmly in front of the audience and gave a heartfelt speech that made it clear their friendship runs deep.
While the pairing may have caught some fans off guard, Cumming has been open about her bond with Lewinsky for years.
Back in 2016, he explained how important she is in his life during an appearance on See what’s happening live.
“She’s truly one of the kindest, most loyal, loving, tender, funny girls I’ve ever known. I mean, I think she’s truly one of my best friends,” he said at the time. “Yes. And she’s been to my wedding. She knows my family.”
Cumming previously said he met Lewinsky about 16 years ago at a Marie Claire party, and the two have been close ever since.
While promoting his memoirs Not my father’s sonhe again praised her character, saying, “She is absolutely one of the most loving, funny, smart, tender people.”
He added: “The fact that she has been able to remain such an amazing person with all the horrible bile that was heaped on her as a young woman is testament to the person that she is.”
Decades after Lewinsky became a household name because of her past with former US President Bill Clinton, her presence at Cummings’ ceremony highlighted a genuine friendship built away from the headlines.
On this day, the focus was firmly on loyalty, support and celebrating a career milestone together.
