Here to remind you they aren't even friends in real life.

Why does that matter? Fantasy be fantasy.

That's a common misunderstanding of an old quote taken out of context. They ARE friends, but not in the conventional sense in that the partnership comes first, not the friendship.


"To pull off such a precise execution of their illusions on stage, the duo obviously have a very close relationship.But when they are not working Penn says they do not see each other.

"Teller and I started out much more as business partners and over the years we've become close friends, but that's as a default. We live our lives together, we live our social lives separately. And I think that takes a lot of pressure off. A lot of partnerships expect to be best friends and business partners, and either one of those things goes weird and puts a lot of pressure on."
(source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment+arts-10646040)

Maintaining a significant barrier between work and play keeps the focus on how to improve the company. Penn describes Teller as a good friend, but adds: "We perform at the Rio in Las Vegas 46 weeks a year, but we have dinner maybe three times a year. Our primary relationship is in service of the show." (source: http://patricksauer.com/index.php/People-More-Famous-than-I/penn-speaks-about-teller.html)


There are plenty of other interviews where they clarify the misunderstanding, but the misunderstanding persists since it's a better story. What they DON'T have is a sexual relationship, which will probably disappoint the OP more.

When did they say they didn't have a sexual relationship?
