‘The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different.
‘If all we ever were [is] the friends that we are, I would take that. She’s so impressively brilliant. She reminds me a lot of Dolly Parton. She’s a very smart businesswoman.
‘If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything.’

While the pair met on the movie set, they didn’t speak to each other for two years after shooting the film.
But Elizabeth re-entered the crooner’s life when he needed a friend, following his split from wife Firerose.
He shared: ‘I felt like, “Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?” For me, at a certain point it was like, you can’t get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you. And in this moment… a friend reached out.’
Billy didn’t recognise the number at first, so he texted Elizabeth back.
He recalled: ‘I text back, I go, “Who is this?” And it’s like, “Elizabeth Hurley.” Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most… this friend who made me laugh.’
