As soon as Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff first met in 2006, they became instant friends. In “Spring Awakening,” Michele, who was then 19, and Groff, then 21, played the two leads – Wendla and Melchior, respectively. Despite the fact that their roles required them to “[make] out so hard” on-stage, per People, off-stage, they simply became best friends.
Michele even dedicated a section to Groff in her 2014 book, “Brunette Ambition.” In it, she describes Groff as “my best friend in the entire world,” and that he was arguably her first true best friend (via Showbiz Cheat Sheet). “It’s fair to say that I didn’t understand the concept until I met him,” she wrote. “He’s been through more ups and downs with me than anyone else. He’s like a brother, and I love him like crazy.”
This tracks with other, more recent statements she has made about Groff. In a 2022 interview with Vanity Fair, Michele said that the two of them “instantaneously became incredible friends” from the moment they met. “He goes beyond a friend or family,” Michele explained. “He feels more like a true soulmate in my life. We call each other twin flames.”
