Hollywood Odd Couples: 10 Celebrity Friendships That Will Surprise You

Many celebrity friendships make sense to the outside world. Actors, musicians, and others in the entertainment sphere will be friends in various ways, from working together to meeting at social events – like anyone else in the world. But some celebrity chums feel like odd pairings. Fans shared their favorite unlikely friendships and why these make them smile.

1. Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg

The title of unlikeliest celebrity friendship goes to the rap star and chef mogul. They seem like polar opposites. Snoop Dogg has a free-spirited, unbothered demeanor, while Stewart seems very proper and precise.

The pair first met in 2008 when he appeared on The Martha Stewart Show. The following years saw them connect through various shows and events until they became seemingly synonymous. They’re a fun pair to watch.

2. Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez

From the outside looking in, Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez feel like an unlikely pair because of our perceived opinions about each of them. Remini seems strong-willed but down-to-earth, and Lopez has an aura of confidence and is a pop diva. But the two go way back.

The women met in 2004 when Lopez’s then-partner, Marc Anthony, introduced them. They hit it off instantly and developed a great friendship. The two from New York often post fun moments on social media. They also appeared together in the 2018 film Second Act.

3. Ed Sheeran and Courteney Cox

Learning that American actress Courteney Cox and British singer Ed Sheeran are best buddies will surprise many. The two seem like an unlikely duo, but they have a ball together every time they share a fun video on social media. They even re-created Ross and Monica’s famous dance routine from Friends to hilarious results.

A mutual friend introduced the pair, and Cox offered Sheeran a place to stay should he ever need it. That offer proved fruitful for both. Sheeran stayed at Cox’s home while working on an album, and they’ve been close ever since.

4. George Clooney and Richard Kind

Clooney and Kind look like an unlikely duo if fans only consider Clooney an A-List movie star. But it took a while before Clooney became a household name. He and Kind have been friends for decades.

They first met working together on the TV pilot Bennet Brothers, were roommates for a time, and Clooney was best man at Kind’s wedding in 1999. When thinking about what the two men embody, their friendship makes sense.

5. Jennifer Aniston and Kathy Najimy

These longtime friends have been in the entertainment industry since the 1980s. Seemingly, in different circles, many will be surprised to learn about their relationship. Aniston reportedly visited Najimy on the set of Hocus Pocus 2 regularly. Najimy also has praised Aniston’s culinary skills, particularly her homemade hummus. That solidifies their closeness because, after all, most people only cook for their best friends.

6. Alexander Skarsgård and Jack McBrayer

Skarsgård and McBrayer seem as unlikely-looking a pair as can be if merely looking at their roles. But the two buddies share a goofy rapport.

The two became fast friends after seeing each other at various events and discovering they were neighbors. They collaborated on a Funny or Die nine-day trip to the Arctic, and McBrayer was Skarsgård’s “plus one” for the 2017 Golden Globes and 2018 SAG Awards.

7. Eminem and Elton John

Regarding musicians, people often think artists from different genres don’t know each other or cannot become friends. It is a shortsighted idea; Eminem and Elton John are excellent examples that refute this.

The two share a mutual respect for one another with their friendship beginning when John performed “Stan” with the rapper at the 2001 Grammy Awards. Ending the performance holding hands made a statement of support for John and the LGBQT community, spurning a supportive decades-long friendship.

8. Bradley Cooper and Pedro Pascal

Many fans claim that one of the most unexpected friendships in Hollywood would be between Bradley Cooper and Pedro Pascal because it seemingly came out of nowhere. Fans do not know much regarding the origins of their friendship, but there’s a bond.

9. Warren Beatty & Annette Bening and John & Cindy McCain

Though people often believe that those with different political ideologies cannot be friends, Beatty, Bening, John, and Cindy McCain prove that’s not always true. They prove that common ground and genuine, lasting friendship can be possible from seemingly disparate individuals. The two couples provide so much inspiration to others through their relationship.

10. Bob Saget and John Mayer

The singer and late actor/comedian had an unlikely friendship from 2003. The two connected when Mayer sent a video performance for a charity event to benefit Saget’s scleroderma foundation, a disease from which Saget’s sister suffered. Thus, a bond was formed and continued until the actor’s untimely death. Mayer was also a pallbearer at Saget’s funeral.
