There's nothing better than watching Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen bickering like an old married couple.

In a video that's trending online, the two icons and longtime friends answer ridiculous questions about each other while participating in a version of The Newlywed Game. As it turns out, even when you've known someone for a very long time, you still may not know what their spirit animal is.

The video, which was shot at a Buzzfeed Brews event in February, also reveals which roles the two actors would most like to play or revive. Stewart's was Falstaff, a character who appears in three of Shakespeare's play, Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2 and The Merry Wives of Windsor, while McKellen's choice was the Widow Twankey, a female character traditionally played by a man in the pantomime version of Aladdin.
