Celebrities Who Are Best Friends IRL

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

The comedic duo met back in 1993 at Chicago's ImprovOlympic. From there, the two have gone on to star on Saturday Night Live together, host the Golden Globes, and play sisters in a movie of the same name.

Kate Winslet and Reese Witherspoon

These two met in 2007, and we knew they were the real deal when Reese had this to say about their relationship:

"Imagine my good fortune when Kate Winslet moved into my neighbourhood, rang my doorbell, and said, 'Darling, Sam (Mendes) is off shooting and I believe our children are the same age. Could they possibly have a playdate, and, oh, by the way, it's almost 9 o'clock and I've had nothing to drink - do you have any wine?"

Nina Dobrev and Julianne Hough

Dobrev and Hough have been friends for a long time. “We’ve known the same person, Riawna Capri, who cuts and colors and does our hair,” Hough said in 2013. Since meeting, the two BFFs really have become inseparable.

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer

This is the newest celebrity alliance of the bunch, but that doesn't mean they weren't destined for friendship greatness. Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer are already writing a screenplay together in which they'll play sisters.

Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner

Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner bonded while filming Valentine's Day and have been friends ever since. 

Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz

"We knew each other for years around Los Angeles," Barrymore told U.K. Elle. "We'd see each other out and wave and say hi, but we didn't even have each other's phone numbers." Two movies later and "we spent every waking moment together for months and months and years!" said Barrymore. Now the pair can be spotted bonding at music festivals and island paradises alike.

Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale

Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale have been great friends since they both appeared in the High School Musical series. Ashley is also best friends with Vanessa Hudgens, who used to date Zac during the filming of HSM in 2005 up to December 2010.

Beyonce and Gwyneth Paltrow

They became fast friends at a charity event in the early 2000s and have kept their relationship close ever since. They've attended concerts together, gone on BFF trips, and spoken highly about each other in various interviews.

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez

Taylor and Selena became besties back in 2008 when they were both dating the Jonas Brothers (Taylor was dating Joe; Selena was dating Nick). As for their friendship: "It's been the longest one I think either of us have had, really," Taylor said in an interview. "Longevity is something you really can find very precious and rare in friendships."

George Clooney and Julia Roberts

That love and respect the Oscar winners have for each other also extends to their respective families. "We've been really good friends for a really long time and I just adore her," Clooney revealed.

Jay Z and Kanye West

Even though Yeezy and Jay-Z are rap icons in their own right, we love them the most when they are together. When they are in the zone, they are IN the zone. These two really are legends amongst men. Long live Jay and Kanye!

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon

After growing up together and winning two Oscars almost 20 years ago with Good Will Hunting, the pals have stayed close. “I’ve known him for 35 years, and we grew up together,” said Damon. “We were both in love with the same thing – acting and filmmaking. I think we fed on each other’s obsession during really formative, important years and that bonded us for life.”

Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner

Not only are they best friends, they're also kind of related through their parents' divorces and remarriages, that is. (Caitlyn Jenner was once married to Linda Thompson, who later married David Foster, Gigi's stepdad.) From high-profile fashion parties to low-key fro-yo dates, these two are the dream team. Talk about friendship goals.

Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio

They met at an audition over 25 years ago and have been pals ever since. The pair starred most recently in The Great Gatsby together and even spent some time living as next-door neighbors. Most important, they have supported each other through the years.

Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox

Forget about Monica and Rachel-Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston are the real Friends. The pals get along so well. "I can tell you we're both very fortunate to have each other," Cox told Marie Claire.
