The legendary duo behind Woody and Buzz Lightyear, Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, have recently shared a hilarious and surprisingly "frosty" story about their very first meeting. Long before they became the best of friends, the two met at a lunch organized by Disney to discuss the first Toy Story movie. According to Tim Allen, the introduction didn't go as smoothly as planned because Tom Hanks started helping himself to food without asking.                                                                                                                                                                                               

Tim Allen jokingly recalled that he was taken aback when Hanks reached over and started eating French fries right off his plate. Allen, who was still transitioning from stand-up comedy to major film roles, admitted he was initially annoyed by the "bold" move from the Oscar-winning actor. He described the moment as a bit of a power move that left him wondering if they would actually be able to work together on the ambitious animated project.                                                                                                                                                                                           

However, that awkward lunch ended up breaking the ice and laying the foundation for one of the most enduring friendships in Hollywood history. Both actors now look back at the "fry stealing" incident as the moment they realized they had a natural chemistry. That off-screen dynamic translated perfectly into the iconic rivalry and eventual bond between Woody and Buzz, proving that sometimes a rocky start leads to the best partnerships.
