Since casting Dern in “Blue Velvet” at the age of 17, Lynch has affectionately called her “Tidbit.” In 2019, she presented him with his Academy Honorary Award alongside Kyle MacLachlan — also known as “Kale.”
“His nicknames for us have stuck as we share the privilege of working with him our entire adult lives,” Dern said, later adding: “Everyone who works alongside David feels that electricity. It’s his enthusiasm and passion that he brings to set that infuses you with that sense that you’re doing what you were always meant to.”
