“We both struggle with golf, and [we were talking about how their daughter] Elizabeth will be a senior next year, and we’re going, ‘What’s that going to be like?’ and then Jane sat in the golf cart and said something really funny,” Allen continued.

“I’m not a Catholic, I don’t belong, so I don’t have to obey the rules, but I think she admires that I made that move. We both pull a bit on either side. We’re pretty good buddies,” he added.
