Also, France told the publication about his “very close” friendship with Van Ness.

“He enriches my life. Sometimes he ruins my life when he calls me 70 times a day,” he said. “Kidding. But he does call me around five or six times a day. That’s no joke. He just calls to say he misses me and I love that. We often do shower time together on FaceTime. It sounds [weird], but it’s not!”
