Abhishek Bachchan Has a New BFF?
May 26 2009 11:10 PST
Abhishek Bachchan seems to have everything going for him. He's got a great
movie career and he gets to say he is married to Aishwarya Rai. So why was he
opting to hang out with someone else at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival this past
weekend? Well like the old saying goes, "It's not what you think." Abhishek
Bachchan was hanging out with actress Eva Longoria's husband and NBA superstar
Tony Parker. When you happen to just meet Tony Parker and you happen to just
become friends, you know your social circle is well ahead of everyone else's.

Aishwarya Rai and Eva Longoria know each other very well as they are both
representatives of L'Oreal. Despite that connection, their respective husbands
had never met… until now. Abhishek Bachchan and Tony Parker hit it off real
well, centering their conversation among other things, a major common interest
between the two: basketball. Tony Parker is a three time NBA Champion and 2007
NBA Finals MVP, so I'm sure he was keen on the subject. Abhishek? Well, he
played it in high school. If that's enough for a conversation with the San
Antonio Spurs point guard, then most of us guys are waiting to talk to Tony
Parker that game winning shot we wish we hit in high school.

Abhishek Bachchan most likely doesn't get too star struck when meeting people,
but Tony Parker, NOT Eva Longoria, made him feel like a fanatic again. The two
got along so quickly that they left their wives behind to keep up the basketball
talk. This is the type of the stuff that awkwardly funny comedies are made of.
What could Abhishek Bachchan have possibly said to Tony Parker that he hasn't
heard before? "I'm such a big fan, Tony?" "You should have made All-NBA First
Team, Tony?" "If I didn't have this film career and charmed life I have, I'd be
destroying you out there on the basketball court, Tony?" This is one
conversation that I think all of us, especially their wives would have loved to
hear.

So guys what do you think of Abhishek Bachchan and Tony Parker's blossoming
friendship? Do you think they'll continue to be best buddies? Most of all, was
the conversation that interesting that they'd leave two of the hottest women in
the world behind for the night? Let us know what you think about this.
