You have to help me with this one. Is it implying that they go to bed imagining a character she played, but wake up with the human being who played the character?
The only actor I can think of who really reminds me of his character is William Shatner and Kirk. Both super confident and ladies’ men. I admit I’m a fan of both, but not because Shatner played Kirk. Just because I read enough about Shatner and follow him on X to be pleased with him as a human being.
