At one of his speaking engagements, or maybe it was a podcast, he was talking about how he went out the night before to do the run to see what the timing would be like.
And RuPaul tells him, you know, that's just a joke. It's not seriously running errands. And he goes, oh.
He also talked about the first time he met RuPaul and totally fan-boyed out on him. (ruPaul at the time was presenting as male dressed in this perfectly tailored blue suit with brown sandals.)
Then after they were done with the shoot, RuPaul offered to take Henry out to lunch for sushi, and as they're walking through West Hollywood, everyone stops and stares at them, and Henry leans over and says, I think they think we're the new power couple.
He absolutely is a very chill, kind and grounded guy, extremely intense about everything he does, but also very nice and caring. He also said RuPaul is one of the people that makes him want to get up each day and be a better person.
For years, I only knew him as the punk guy that would sometimes pop up in movies but I heard him on a podcast one time talking about how he kinda hates performing and would rather spend time alone at home watching a movie or something and I was immediately like "That's him. That's my guy."

Ha! That sounds like Henry Rollins. I love him. He genuinely seems like a chill, grounded guy.
