Any similiarities between California beachcombers and African lion keepers?

George Adamson - known as 'The Father of Lions', the main figure behind the 'Born Free' book and movie (and Elsa the Lion), and the man who helped Christian the Lion transition from a young lion cub raised in London to the wild in Kenya

The similarities are more striking in the following video, particularly around the 4:45 mark (showing the last reunion between those two Aussie guys and Christian the Lion)
