These Unlikely Celebrities Are The Best Of Friends

Celebrities tend to make friends amongst themselves as their lives are as unique as their individual talents. Being as wealthy and as well-known as they are, it is not easy finding friends who want to be around them for the right reasons. However, while many celebrities have other famous friends, there are a few friendships in Hollywood that are far from what people may expect. Some friendships have a slightly bigger age gap than most, while others are just so random, since they have such incredibly different personalities (or at least that is what they show the rest of us mere mortals). The fact that Kanye West and Kristen Stewart hang out, and Martha Stuart is best friends with a rapper, these friendships are almost hard to believe – how do they even know each other? These are some of the most surprising celebrity friendships, and while some will make you scratch your head, others will make you sit there in awe.

Beyonce and Gwyneth Paltrow

The friendship between Beyonce and Gwyneth blossomed a few years ago when the two met at a charity benefit. When interviewed by both Ellen Degeneres and Howard Stern, Gwyneth talked about their friendship and how nice it was to have a real friendship with a couple that is, in fact, more famous than her in many ways.

Like we mentioned earlier, celebrities like to know that their friends have no ulterior motives, and Jay and B sure do not.

Jonah Hill and Brad Pitt

Jonah Hill and Brad Pitt are the cutest best buds there ever were. The age gap between the two of these pals is 20 years but that never seemed to matter to either of them. The two met when they played alongside one another in the film Moneyball. Jonah and Brad are so tight that Jonah actually stayed at Brad’s house in New Orleans when he was filming 21 Jump Street.

Jonah could not say nicer things about his buddy Brad when he was interviewed on The Daily Show. Brad and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, even attended Jonah’s 28th birthday party, making it one star-studded event.

Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart

This friendship is one of the most unusual and yet most captivating ones around. Rapper Snoop Dogg, is quite close with none other than the domestic icon that is Martha Stewart. Snoop met Martha when she hosted him on her show self-titled show in 2008. Their friendship and on-screen ratings were so high that the two decided to have a cooking show together!

The show “Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party” was born, much to the delight of audiences everywhere. Martha said that since meeting Snoop she has had to learn quite a few new words.

Selena Gomez and Jennifer Aniston

Honestly, we are loving this friendship right here – Selena and Jennifer. This dynamic duo met through their shared manager and their friendship is very much like a mom and daughter situation, due to their age gap and acting experience. Jennifer said that she likes to take care of Selena and make sure that she is doing well considering the industry they are in is so harsh on women.

Selena has also been a source of support for Jennifer through hard times. The two like to hang out at Jennifer’s house and have them a girls night. Can we join, please?


 

Elton John and Eminem

Elton and Eminem’s friendship started back in 2001 when the two performed together at that year’s Grammy Awards. The performance had a reason behind it, as Eminem was accused at the time of writing anti-LGBTQ lyrics – something he denied.

Eminem asked Elton to join him on stage and share the song with him to show the world that he had no ill intention. Since then, the two have remained friends and reach out to one another.

50 Cent and Meryl Streep

Much like Snoop and Martha, we now have 50 and Meryl. Back in 2014, 50 Cent and Meryl Streep were photographed sitting side by side at a New York Knicks versus the Los Angeles Lakers game. They sat front and center, right in the eye of any photographer.

The Academy Award-winning actress and rapper had a grand old time together, holding hands and everything. After that night, they each responded to the photos with fake romance and we love it.

Matthew McConaughey and Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong, a former cyclist who was shamed and stripped of his titles after he was found guilty of doping to get ahead of the game, had one major friend stick by him through that time – Matthew McConaughey. The actor decided to not let Lance’s lie change their friendship.

Sources say that initially, he was upset but then realized that it did not change the friend he had in Lance. The duo have since been seen hanging out on the golf course.

Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un

The strangest friendship award definitely goes to Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un. Kim loves Dennis and basketball, so when he invited Dennis to Pyongyang, Dennis actually took him up on the offer and flew over. Since his first trip in 2013, Dennis has gone back to North Korea many times.

On one trip he even sang Kim happy birthday to commemorate the occasion. Maybe this friendship will help the international relations between the two nations?

Ed Sheeran and Courteney Cox

We are not sure how Courteney and Ed actually met, but the two are good enough friends that when Ed needed a place to stay, it was Courteney who hosted the singer in her Malibu home in 2013. While he was there he was working on his album.

Courteney did not charge Ed any rent and he recalled that when he was there he made sure to make his bed and prepare all the tea anyone could ask for to make up for the rent-free life.

Jay Z and Nick Jonas

Jay Z is an icon in the musical world, that is a fact. So when given the opportunity to be granted into the circle that surrounds him, Nick Jonas got to know the rapper and get as much wisdom from him as possible. Nick has said that Jay is the one he goes to for career advice since he considers Jay to have the kind of musical quality like no one else.

Nick said he is very fortunate to have this friendship.

Helen Mirren and Russell Brand

Helen and Russell met in 2011 when the two were on the set of the movie Arthur. There is a cool 30 years between the two but in this case, age does not have a number. There seems to be a lot of rumors surrounding these two, and they both love to have fun with it.

However, they have both said that they adore one another and cherish their friendship, but nothing more than that.

Kelly Rowland and Serena Williams

Serena has a lot of famous friends, but her friendship with Kelly Rowland is a special one. They met in 2016 when Serena attended a concert that Kelly was also a part of. The two became fast friends, so much so that Kelly was a guest at Serena’s wedding in 2017, and later her baby shower.

Kelly has spoken publically about how much she adores Serena and how happy she is for her in her newfound love and family.

Kim Kardashian and Mel B

Kim and Mel have been friends for many years, despite us not knowing so! Mel and Kim were very close at the time that Kim was marrying Kris Humphries, and was a guest at that wedding. These two go as far back as 2010 when they were seen laughing it up at an event in Hollywood.

Kim then was seen going to Mel’s baby shower, further showing her love for her friend and her growing family.

Zach Braff and Harry Styles

Scrubs alum Zach Braff was followed by Harry Styles on Twitter prior to attending the Sundance Film Festival in 2014. It was there that Harry went to see Zach’s film, Wish I Was Here, as a show of support for the producer. After the screening, Harry tweeted his love for the film.

Zach followed it up with another tweet and the rest is history. Zach joked that when Harry started following him, so did millions of his female followers.

Roger Federer and Anna Wintour

Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief at Vogue, has a lot of important friends. One of these important friends is tennis champion, Roger Federer. The two have been linked as friends since 2005 as Anna is a fan of Roger’s and they had a few mutual friends who linked them up.

Funnily enough, Anna said that when they met she wanted to talk tennis all night when Roger wanted to talk fashion. The two have shared runway attendance as well as tennis court seats.

Kris Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence loves all things reality, so when she had the opportunity to meet and dine with momager Kris Jenner, she jumped for joy and accepted. The two decided to joke around after dinner at Jenner’s home and take some funny photos in Jenner’s closet and bedroom, heightening the entertainment value of these two.

Jennifer said she was over the moon to be at her home, and Jenner said that she enjoyed Lawrence a lot!
