Zach G. best friend in real life was arguably Mimi Haist, an elderly woman he met at a Santa Monica laundromat in the 1990’s, long before he became famous.

I forget what Al Pacino movie it was where he says , “Always tell the truth. You’ll never have to remember your lies” or similar. It wasn’t Scarface. Of course it was Tony Montana who also said, “I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.”
