BFF Goals: Hollywood friendships that make us believe in true bonds

Even the most successful celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Adele, Ben Affleck, Blake Lively, Jennifer Lawrence and many more big names, with all their glitz, glam, and red carpet moments, need a friend to laugh with, lean on, and share life secrets.

Here are some of the top actors whose friendship fans love the most:

Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini:

Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini have been inseparable since meeting at the 2004 premiere of Man on Fire. Their Bond was described as ‘instant chemistry”.

Lopez recalled to Entertainment Tonight, saying, “It was one of those instant chemistry things where you just feel like, ‘I love this person. I love being around this person. This person makes me laugh.’”

Remini has always been Lopez’s loudest cheerleader, even celebrating her powerhouse performance at President Joe Biden’s inauguration. 

She told E! News, “I wrote her and said, ‘You know, you’re a girl from the Bronx. What you did today was really inspiring, and it was just beautiful to watch. Just beautiful.’”

However, there have been ups and downs in their friendship, especially rumours of the rift started when Lopez got married to Ben Affleck, but they reunited shortly after both he actresses experienced divorces from their respective spouses.

Adele and Drake:

This is one friendship the world didn’t see coming, but we’re here for it. After years of working in the same industry, Adele and Drake finally connected and started tossing around the idea of collaborating.

Adele admitted to Canada’s etalk, “I really want us to do an official remix. I love Drake. I love Drake so much. I even got the coat that’s in the video, I got it delivered the other day, I ordered it. The red one.”

Drake responded in true Drake fashion, “I’d do anything with Adele. I’d literally go to Adele’s house right now and do laundry for her.”

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon:

Hollywood bromances don’t get more iconic than this one. More than 20 years after winning their Oscars for Good Will Hunting, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are still proving that lifelong friendships can thrive in the spotlight.

Damon told Entertainment Tonight in 2016, “I’ve known him for 35 years, and we grew up together. 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.”

From Boston roots to Hollywood blockbusters, these two have truly been through it all together.

Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King:

The friendship between Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King is the stuff of legends. Their story began in 1976 when they both worked at a Baltimore TV station. Gayle, then a production assistant, remembered the 'newsroom hierarchy' that usually kept anchors and assistants apart.

But one snowy night changed everything. Oprah invited Gayle to stay at her house, and the next day, as Oprah recalled, “We went to the mall.”

A trip for Casual Corner sweaters turned into a decades-long sisterhood that has withstood fame, success, and life’s toughest challenges.

Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence:

Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence have very close friendship ties. Their friendship began when Lawrence sent Schumer an email after watching her 2015 comedy Trainwreck. 

Lawrence shared with The New York Times, “I emailed her after I saw 'Trainwreck' and said, ‘I don’t know where to get started. I guess I should just say it: I’m in love with you.’ We started emailing, and then emailing turned to texting.”

The real bonding moment, though, came when Schumer invited Lawrence to join her and her high school friends in the Hamptons. 

Shocked that she actually said yes, Schumer admitted on The Daily Show, “She’s the coolest chick you’ll ever meet. She’s the best hang, she was like one of the gang.”

Lawrence was also one of the A-List guests at Schumer’s February 2018 wedding to Chris Fischer.
