Comedian Andrew Dice Clay recently opened up to Page Six about his circle of friends. Turns out, he’s looking to expand it beyond people his own age.

“I’m going to distance myself from anyone over the age of 45,” the 59-year-old said. “Old people just talk about medical problems — ‘I gotta take this medication, that medication, I got this wrong with me, that wrong with me.’ Just give me a burger and flash me! I have a very young spirit. Energy of youth is what I love. I never lost that energy. If I have a friend tell me he’s being fitted for a brace, I’m going to tell him, ‘Leave my home and never come back. We’re not gonna be friends. You don’t exist anymore.’ I just want new, young buddies.”

He’s currently starring in A Star is Born, with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. “I call her Stefani because I really got to know her,” he said of Gaga. “She’s one of the most grounded stars, especially on her level. She’d have her mom, her dad, her sister on the set, and you wouldn’t know she’s the star that she is. She’s as grounded as any New York girl I’ve ever met. We still keep in touch.”

He continued: “She’d get really absorbed in the character — she’d be crying, getting into whatever [scene] she was about to do. She took on a role from two of the greatest ever, Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland, and she’s going to be just as good at it, maybe better. She’s got that thing … and she wanted to introduce the standards and that kind of music to her fans, to the millennials. She can do it all. She has all the respect in the world from me.”
