In August he told Page Six they bonded.
'I call her Stefani because I really got to know her. She’s one of the most grounded stars, especially on her level. She’d have her mom, her dad, her sister on the set, and you wouldn’t know she’s the star that she is. She’s as grounded as any New York girl I’ve ever met. We still keep in touch.'
He added she can act.
'She’d get really absorbed in the character — she’d be crying, getting into whatever [scene] she was about to do. She took on a role from two of the greatest ever, Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland, and she’s going to be just as good at it, maybe better,' he commented.
'She’s got that thing … and she wanted to introduce the standards and that kind of music to her fans, to the millennials. She can do it all. She has all the respect in the world from me.'

As far as his other co-star, Bradley Cooper. Andrew said: 'He is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I wanted to do a great job for him. He knows he’s new at directing, and he made sure he was prepared. He was very patient and he knew exactly what he wanted. Bradley Cooper will go down as one of the great directors.'
In the same interview the star said he wanted to hang out with only young people.
'I’m going to distance myself from anyone over the age of 45,' the star told Page Six.

He loves being a Guido: Andrew came to fame as a brash, flashy guy in the 1980s; here he is seen in 1991 in Hollywood
'Old people just talk about medical problems — "I gotta take this medication, that medication, I got this wrong with me, that wrong with me."
'Just give me a burger and flash me! I have a very young spirit. Energy of youth is what I love. I never lost that energy.
'If I have a friend tell me he’s being fitted for a brace, I’m going to tell him, "Leave my home and never come back. We’re not gonna be friends. You don’t exist anymore." I just want new, young buddies.'
Dice is on pre-production on the film The Ogilvy Fortune with Chevy Chase.
