[Applause] they may not be performing on screen at the moment but you can bet that ben platt and skylar aston kept their on-screen friendship off screen as well well you know me well like could you maybe help you know you could be like you're not number 19. jada pinkett smith and queen latifah set it off and girls trip pinkett smith met her real world bff back in baltimore when she was 15 and snuck into a club to see an up-and-coming 17 year old latifah perform she was blown away you're right about that the two would later star in the 1996 hit set it off and while they wouldn't work together again for 21 years they maintained a tight friendship in between projects latifah told people that she and jada can quote hold whole conversations without really saying anything but still saying a lot that's a deep connection that friends could only probably have after 30 odd years of closeness here's hoping we don't have to wait another 21 years in between films to see these two women together again number 18 sebastian stan and anthony mackie the marvel cinematic universe these two co-stars met on the set of captain america the winter soldier and were not immediate bffs but spending time together on press tours for their mcu films seems to have changed that and now with several more films under their respective belts as well as the disney plus series the falcon and the winter soldier it's easy to spot the closeness between falcon and bucky barnes hello girl kick your ass in an attempt to get sebastian out of new york during the kobit 19 pandemic in 2020 mackie even tried convincing stan to join him in new orleans no one knows what the mcu holds for their characters just yet but off camera their bromance shows no signs of slowing always always remember number one but always kind of keep in mind number two number 17 simon pegg and nick frost various nick frost met buddy and collaborator simon pegg when frost was a waiter at a restaurant in london the two became friends and eventual roommates before going on to work together in projects like the box office hit shawn of the dead oh she likes you since their breakout the two have continued to stay together both on and off screen such as in the three flavors cornetto trilogy and the sci-fi comedy paul why are we holding hands so we look like a family like any close relationship these two funny men have had their share of drama and fights simon pegg has stated that while they make quarrel they always end up back together again just like in any family and this family not only plays and fights together they clearly know how to work together too through thick and thin do not go to the winchester the pub is out even if it's shut especially if it's closed remember what happened the last time number 16 michael fassbender and james mcavoy the x-men beginnings franchise deemed the new ian mcellen and patrick stewart who we'll get to later these two actors share more than just the former's characters though they first worked together on the band of brothers miniseries their bromance as we know it began with the world of the x-men remember the point between rage and serenity the two mutant besties even have a combined nickname mcfassy you're psychic charles you can convince me to do anything watch any interview that you have given and you'll see the great chemistry that translates off screen what with mcavoy easily cracking fassbender up with every chance he gets you don't remember that part of your in san diego at comic-con didn't you knock someone out there here's hoping james and michael also continue their bond well past their current ages and into their 80s and beyond goodbye old friend goodbye eric number 15. matthew mcconaughey and woody harrelson various the kinship of our next duo of bffs can be described as brother from another mother which mcconaughey himself has called them on instagram mcconaughey beat out harrelson for his breakout role in a time to kill only to end up playing his brother in ed tv a few years later oh oh is that the way it is huh bro maybe it was their alleged shared love of recreational activities but the duo have always seemed tight well beyond just that you both seem like you enjoy having fun yeah well there we go some pictures to prove it matthew has even publicly admitted that he's gone to the wood man with personal problems in the past i'll step into my office let's have a little conversation whether it's the lesser known surfer dude or hbo's true detective these two cool characters are alright alright alright alright alright alright number 14 christian stewart and dakota fanning the twilight saga and the runaways these two ladies have appeared in a few films together and initially met on a short film back in 2007. you think anybody's going to take it seriously it's just publicity it helps everybody but according to fanning the first introduction wasn't special enough to call it their real first meeting it wasn't until the two were on the twilight saga new moon set that their bond truly formed in what dakota calls their chosen moment of meeting she wants to be and so she will be for dessert it was while she introduced friend kristen stewart at elle's women in hollywood awards ceremony in 2016 that the two publicly professed their love and respect for one another she finds what is most important and carves into it like a building into the sky fanning confessed stewart had been there to hold her hair back helped her through heartbreak while stewart responded to it all with oh my god dude i love

he's feeling good and very resilient the two have teamed up on multiple occasions with hilarious heart especially playing well off the rocks straight man what's going on i'm a hugger whether it's duane honoring kevin with a star on the hollywood walk of fame jokingly competing for attention on instagram or starring together in a jumanji film their partnership works wonders on screen and off plain and simple they're a lot of fun to watch you talking to my camel yes i'm talking to the camel and he can tell that you're pain in the ass number 10 penelope cruz and salma hayek bandidas france since 2001 cruz and kayaks still have each other's backs today do you work for us maria alvarez no i do not work for you then what are you doing here i have business with your father cruz starred in 2006's bandits with hayek and more importantly was there when hayek got married in 2009. what kind of a bride smells like a horse and kisses like a chicken pecking corn they've openly praised one another's work and when both were on a precarious flight together cruz reportedly remarked that she would have been okay if this was her last flight as she was with her best friend and it was an emergency landing with a deeper service station of cabin like a very serious serious thing and we have to land somewhere else dark but endearing cruz and hayek are close enough to have cute food-based nicknames for each other as well as a bond that both maintain is like a firm sisterhood and have even called each other their heroes related to penelope cruz not my not by blood but she is like a sister to me number nine cameron diaz and drew barrymore charlie's angels we were both like la kids you know i worked in a coffee house she was a model and uh i like served her coffee and we had like

like that they could be you know have an attitude and she was the opposite she was friendly and goofy and really nice number eight ashley tisdale and vanessa hudgins the high school musical franchise these two friends were already acquainted before their shared time in these disney channel movies what are you doing here i'm the new lifeguard in fact tisdale and hudgens met before their breakout

struggling to get one up on the other i had stationary made up with his name and then i would send letters to other actors from brad pitt these pranks have involved everything from the chip and dale dancers to the police and even a goat or maybe a sheep they've had some rocky moments in their relationship like when pitt divorced jennifer aniston which was allegedly much to clooney's chagrin but they're back to being friends now with brad saying he expected roses from george for his 2020 sag award win that's the kind of thing he texts you like congratulations is it that kind of relationship

actually met as child actors all the way back in the 1980s having shared time together at auditions in l.a bye bye sarah both mostly raised by single mothers the two guys bonded almost immediately and while they sometimes auditioned for the same roles these friends didn't share any bitterness i missed them a lot today as both their fame levels increased toby and leo were known around town for

public profiles both dicaprio and maguire remain close you sure you want me to come absolutely old sport absolutely number three ian mckellen and patrick stewart the x-men franchise sir ian and sir
