LONDON -- There's something infinitely cheering about discovering that two actors you really admire are actually pals in real life.

Following on from J.K. Rowling's Twitter shout-out to Amy Schumer last week, the latest celebrity dream team comes in the form of a glorious Game of Thrones/Star Wars fusion.

On Tuesday night, both John Boyega (a.k.a. Finn from The Force Awakens) and Gwendoline Christie (who stars alongside Boyega in The Force Awakens and plays Lady Brienne in Thrones) attended the GQ Awards.

From the looks of Twitter, Christie is clearly a big fan of Boyega.

After Boyega picked up a Breakthrough Actor award, he posted a Twitter shout-out to Christie. From the sounds of it, she was one of the people cheering the loudest.

Later, she followed it up with another shout-out to Boyega. Just look at all those emoji:

All in all, Christie appeared to have a pretty awesome night.

It's not every day you get to hang out with your favourite Resistance fighter and two Olympic medal winners.
