LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- "I Love You, Man" may only be a movie about male friendship, but for the film's stars, there have been plenty of real-life bromances.

"When I came to [LA], Vince Vaughn was a big influence on my life," Jon Favreau told Access Hollywood at the film's premiere in LA on Tuesday. "We made the movie 'Swingers' about that. He was definitely a bromance in my life."

Jason Segel , who plays the prospective friend to Paul Rudd in the film, said he's still recovering from saying farewell to one of his bros.

"I have a long lasting bromance with my best friend, Brian Lind," he said. "We've been best friends since we were 12. He lived with me for two years [and] just left to go to med school in New York. I just gave him a pat on the back, like a dude. I was like, 'Have a good time, I'll miss you,' and I woke up at 2 in the morning crying hysterically. I love him."

But, he added, the pals have stayed in touch.

"I try to talk to him once a week, he's my heterosexual life partner," he said, referencing a line from Kevin Smith's movie "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back."

And as for "Saturday Night Live" star Andy Samberg , he said he couldn't pick just one friend to be his top bromance.
