When it comes to celebrity friendships, there are lots of unexpected and lovable pairings out there. This week, a new favorite duo has been making waves on the Internet. Guardians of the Galaxy director, James Gunn, has been having some fun interactions on Twitter with ALF. Yes, the sitcom character from the ’80s who came from space and likes to eat cats. Earlier this week, Gunn had a hilarious response when the alien puppet volunteered to catsit for the director. This back and forth led to one fan speculating that ALF might be in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but the Melmacian quickly shut that down.

How can people doubt the sincerity of our friendship, @ALFforreal? If we can get along, despite our differences (one of us loves cats, one of us loves to eat cats, one of us is real, one of us is fictional) than others should be able to put aside their differences & do the same. https://t.co/bWUByga6O0
