John Wayne Steve McQueen Thanks for the Memories

WHO KNEW STEVE MCQUEEN WAS SUCH A FAN OF JOHN WAYNE?

This vintage photo of Steve McQueen throwing his arms around John Wayne was probably taken before paparazzi even existed. So celebrities weren’t as afraid to look foolish because usually there was no one around the document the situation. Judging by the liquor bottles these two were high as kites and it’s a funny moment. Any of you got a caption for this?

John Wayne Thanks for the Memories True Grit

Wayne was in his 60’s then and had survived lung cancer surgery after confessing to a five pack a day habit. But once upon a time John Wayne was a handsome young actor and here’s the photo to prove it.
