Are Lauren Graham And Yanic Truesdale From Gilmore Girls Friends In Real Life? – Looper

Even though they bicker, Michel clearly enjoys Lorelai’s company. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone into business with her when she opened the Dragonfly Inn. By the time we see them on “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life,” they’ve been coworkers and friends for decades, a dynamic that’s similar to Lauren Graham and Yanic Truesdale’s relationship in reality. Truesdale has been pretty busy since “Gilmore Girls” ended, but he still takes the time to reminisce about working on the series. In an interview with Today, the actor revealed that working with Graham led to a lifelong friendship, a bond that’s reflected in Michel and Lorelai’s interactions.

“Well, first of all, we became friends really quickly. And I think it shows because we’re friends in the show, but we have a love-and-hate relationship, but it’s easier to do when you actually love someone,” the actor explained, his real-life cadence decidedly different from Michel’s Parisian accent. “And to this day, we’re friends. So that’s probably one of my best takeaways from the show is the friendships I’ve created with Lauren, with Kelly Bishop, with Melissa [McCarthy]. You know, those friendships are for life and that, I’m very grateful for that.”

It would be great to see how Michel and Lorelai’s friendship evolves after the events of the revival, a storyline that could be revisited since other cast members are completely on board with doing more episodes.
