It's incredibly refreshing when we're being entertained", before getting up to give Alan a hug. Jamie then added to this bromance by confessing that Channing was very sexy in the film "there was a couple of times when he was doing a shot and the light hit him in the eyes, and I just said hey - at a couple of points his eyes were dreamy, but I said it very manly." Jamie also showed his appreciation for Alan and his voice by sampling him, before both Jamie and Channing gave Alan his very own remix.
