Robert Redford Remembers Being Mistaken for Paul Newman (VIDEO)

Robert Redford Talks Paul Newman on 'Piers'Robert Redford will always be associated with Paul Newman because of their roles together in the iconic films 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' and 'The Sting', and because of their long-time friendship.

Redford reflected upon Newman, who died in 2008, on 'Piers Morgan Tonight' (weekdays, 9PM ET on CNN), telling a story about the time a man in a restaurant confused Redford for Newman.

"I was at a table in Napa Valley," Redford told the host. "And the table next door was making all this fuss, and I could tell they were looking at me, and they were going to come over and say something."

"And finally this guy comes over to the table and he says, 'Hey, I've just got to tell you something. I've seen every one of your movies, I'm really, really a fan. I feel embarrassed, I don't want to disrupt you ... and your salad dressing is fabulous."

Of course, the salad dressing the man was referring to was Newman's Own Salad Dressing, the flagship product of Paul Newman's charity food company.

It's actually a bit depressing to know we will never see these two men act together again. Love them both.
