Alan Cumming’s moment on the Hollywood Walk of Fame became an unexpected topic of conversation when a very familiar face showed up to support him.
When the Scottish actor received his star, fans quickly noticed that Monica Lewinsky was there by his side, proudly supporting him during the ceremony.
Cumming, 60, looked every bit the star in a bright turquoise suit jacket paired with matching shorts as she 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, shared a warm kiss with him in front of the crowd and gave a heartfelt speech that made it clear that their friendship runs deep.
While the couple may have taken some fans by surprise, Cumming has been open about his bond with Lewinsky for years.
In 2016, he explained how important she is in his life during an appearance on See what happens live.
“She’s truly one of the kindest, most loyal, most loving, sweetest, most fun girls I’ve ever met. I mean, I think she’s really one of my best friends,” he said at the time. “Yes. And she’s been to my wedding. She knows my family.”
Cumming previously shared that he met Lewinsky about 16 years ago at a Marie Claire party, and the two have remained close since then.
While promoting his memoirs He is not my father’s sonagain praised her character, saying, “She is absolutely one of the most loving, funniest, smartest, sweetest people.”
He added: “The fact that he was able to remain such an incredible person with all that horrible bile that was piled on him when he was young is a testament to the person he is.”
Decades after Lewinsky became a household name due to her past with former US President Bill Clinton, her presence at Cumming’s ceremony highlighted a genuine friendship built far from the headlines.
On this day, the focus remained firmly on loyalty, support, and celebrating a professional milestone together.
