NCIS stars Michael Weatherly and Sean Murray have been building a rapport since they started working together in 2003, but it's something that comes so naturally to them more than a decade later that, as Weatherly said, it's a bit awkward to talk about it.
It's "like getting up into the International Space Station and asking the astronauts, while they're on the space station, 'So, how do you guys work together? Is it weird? Like, you're Russian, you're Chinese, you have to work together?'" he explained on the CBS drama's Valencia, Calif., set. "There's a certain part of it that's just like, 'Uh, I am in charge of these switches? I go to the bathroom in a bag? And I just try not to crash the spaceship.'"
But with the departure of Cote de Pablo's longtime character Ziva David and the arrival of Emily Wickersham as the new female agent Ellie Bishop, it's been a big season for Weatherly's Tony DiNozzo and Murray's Tim McGee, the duo dubbed McNozzo by fans. While they finished up a scene from NCIS's April 15 episode, "Alleged," where Tony and McGee go on a juice cleanse, the actors opened up about their bromance.
"We've had our shirts off together a couple times," Murray said.
"I think we put the man in bromance," Weatherly added.

Murray said "every day" is the best part of their off-screen bromance. "And I would say the pony."
"The pony," echoed Weatherly.
"The pony," Murray repeated.
"But we can't tell you what that means because that would violate the nature of the bromance," Weatherly said. "But Sean and I, when we could, we know what pony means. You've gotta ride the pony."
"Gotta ride the pony," Murray affirmed.
Later, Weatherly said, "Yesterday we had a line where we found out that there was a potato, vegetable oil, and fragments of something else — onion. And it was a deep fryer, that was the clue, and all I could think of was a profound monk. I don't know what that means."
"I'm not sure either," Murray said.
"A profound monk would be a deep friar."
