Mason Thames and Dave Franco have a bromance like no other. 

While catching up with PEOPLE ahead of the at-home release of Black Phone 2, Thames, 18, revealed that he’s spent his career looking up to actors like Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, River Phoenix and Timothée Chalamet. 

However, he named one actor in particular who helped guide him through the spotlight: Franco. 

“He’s such an amazing person,” Thames said of his Regretting You costar. “Genuinely, he’s such a mentor for me in this crazy, crazy world. And it’s nice to just have somebody to call and just talk to. I just have somebody like that, and it’s really great.”
