Anthony Mackie marvels at Sebastian Stan after Golden Globes win, takes over interview to celebrate
Anthony Mackie proved that, above all else, he's a true stan for his former Marvel co-star Sebastian Stan.
The actors, who first appeared on-screen together in the 2014 MCU hit "Captain America: Winter Soldier," reunited after Stan won the Golden Globe on Sunday for best performance by a male actor in "A Different Man" on Sunday when Mackie crashed his post-award interview with Entertainment Tonight.
"We won, we won, we won," Mackie began as he approached Stan and bounced around with a victory dance before borrowing the interviewer's microphone.
"Captain America Winter Soldier, we're comin' back," Stan proclaimed with a laugh. "This is my dream and my nightmare all in one."
"I do have to thank Anthony cause actually back in the day when we were starting these press tours, they said, 'This kid can't talk, can't smile, can't say anything, we gotta put him with Anthony to get some life in him,'" Stan recalled of their early bonding moments. "Maybe I learned from you -- you gotta keep smiling man."
That moment quickly racked up over a million likes on TikTok and spurred fans to share photos from backstage of the duo hugging in celebration, flooding the comments with various heartfelt reactions to the screen partners' wholesome friendship.
Mackie proceeded to pop into several other post-win moments, further showing his unwavering support for his longtime pal.
Earlier in the evening, Mackie also gave Stan a shoutout on stage alongside his "Captain America: Brave New World" co-star Harrison Ford while presenting the Best Animated Motion Picture award.
"We're still friends with Sebastian Stan, by the way," Mackie said, looking around and holding up a heart shape with his hands.
Stan was also nominated for best actor in a motion picture, drama starring as Donald Trump in "The Apprentice."
Most recently, the actors co-headed the Disney+ 2021 limited series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier."
Marvel is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and "Good Morning America."
