While walking the red carpet of the DC League of Super-Pets premiere at The Grove in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening, the actors chatted with PEOPLE about how they celebrate one another on their special days, following Hart's 43rd birthday last week. When asked what Johnson, 50, gave him for his birthday on July 6, Hart told PEOPLE, "He didn't get me anything. Not a damn thing." "I give him something every year — every year I send something to his house. Every year," he continued. "But I'm a different kind of friend."

Working with Johnson is always a blast, Hart told PEOPLE, explaining, "We're very lucky to be able to have this relationship, and not only have the relationship, but allow the relationship to shine on and off camera." "I think when you can do that and can show a relationship on camera and off camera, fans resonate with that because they believe it's real. It is real. It's special," he continued. "So it's something that we hold on to and value, and it's something that we understand doesn't [come] along very often." Want to get the biggest stories from PEOPLE every weekday?
