Everyone needs friends. Because sometimes you need to ask for help, share joy, ask for advice or have a heart-to-heart talk. Celebrities are no exception, and more often than not they form friendships among their peers.

website and Marie Claire found examples of how strong friendships among famous people last for many years.

Mikhail Porechenkov and Konstantin Khabensky

Mikhail Porechenkov and Konstantin Khabensky are old friends. They play in the same theater and starred together in the film “Heavenly Court.” Almost simultaneously, the actors moved to Moscow from St. Petersburg, and Porechenkov even gave his country house for unlimited use to Khabensky. Needless to say, everyone would dream of a friend who would always lend a shoulder!

Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek

The beauties Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek became friends on the set of the film “Bandits.” They are typical best friends: they do their hair and give each other funny nicknames. According to Penelope, until the actresses had children, they spent almost all their free time together. It is possible that the stars converged on the basis of similar temperaments: explosive Spanish and fiery Mexican.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney

How could you not become friends after working together on the film Ocean's 11? For many years, actors have supported each other, filmed together and enjoyed each other's company. Brad Pitt says about his best friend: “He's very funny. Gives joy to me and everyone around me." And although there are rumors that friends quarreled on financial grounds, we will believe that long-term friendship does not end so easily.

Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston

Serial friendship between charming brunettes and blondes grew into real female friendship. Jennifer describes her best friend as a very caring and devoted person. Here's what she says: “I've slept in her living room so many times! Without going into details, I’ll just say that Courtney went through thick and thin for me.”

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck

Matt and Ben are an example of true male friendship that many envy. They have known each other since adolescence and spend a lot of time together: the actors live next door, are family friends and see each other almost every day. Apparently, working together on the script for Good Will Hunting cemented their friendship once and for all.

Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz

Having met on the set of Charlie's Angels, the actresses are still friends. Recently, Barrymore even admitted that she jokingly calls her best friend Poo Poo. The girls don't hurt each other: during an interview with one radio station, Cameron flared up and left after an unpleasant question about Drew. Drew Barrymore was also a bridesmaid at Diaz's wedding. For girls, this is probably the highest manifestation of trust.

Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler

The guys have not been friends for very long, but apparently they are very strong. They love to have a drink together or go to tennis in almost identical suits. By the way, unlike many star friends, they do not have a single film together, so they dream of starring together in a comedy or action movie. According to Gerard, in an action movie they would prefer to play enemies in order to give each other a good time. This is what happens when brutality goes off scale!

Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman

Long before they became famous actresses, Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman became friends at a casting that took place in Australia. The Hollywood princesses went through thick and thin together and never abandoned each other in trouble: Kidman helped Watts adapt when she moved to the United States from Australia, and Naomi, in turn, helped Nicole get through a difficult divorce from Tom Cruise. And they say that there is no such thing as female friendship!

Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio

DiCaprio and Maguire have been friends since an early age. For almost 25 years they have supported each other in everything. The actors admit that they discuss with each other the roles and projects in which they are going to participate. Their friendship was tested by success: after Titanic, DiCaprio became the idol of the entire planet, and Maguire’s fame came a little later, after Spider-Man. However, they root for each other and genuinely enjoy each other's achievements. The famous friends always dreamed of creating something big together, and on the set of The Great Gatsby they got such a chance. Both are fond of basketball: they play and go to games together.

Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow

Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow are so close that they even call each other sisters. They have been friends for more than 10 years, and after Madonna’s divorce from Richie, Gwyneth even agreed to move to New York for her friend. It would seem that a scandalous pop star and a real English lady - what can unite them? However, they dote on each other!

Many foreign stars meet on film sets and then become best friends, and some have built a career together since childhood. Here are the most famous best friends.

The personal lives of stars are shrouded in intrigue, scandals, breakups and divorces. But celebrities not only quarrel with each other, many share warm, sincere feelings. Which actors and singers have been friends with each other for a long time?

The personal lives of stars are shrouded in intrigue, scandals, breakups and divorces. But celebrities not only quarrel with each other, many share warm, sincere feelings. Which actors and singers have been friends with each other for a long time?

The tenor and ballerina have known each other for many years and have gone through a lot together, like true and close friends. They are so close that a couple of years ago they were even credited with having an affair. Celebrities insisted on their “open” relationships and confused the public in every possible way. “Kolyanich and I are really great friends. We are so friends that we can sleep in the same bed,” Volochkova said in an interview. Basque confirmed the close relationship even more clearly: “We have one step from friendship to bed.” The couple published joint photographs of a very tender, and even frank, nature. But the matter did not reach the family and children - friends (or lovers?) did not even go out together. According to the ballerina, she did not take her kind of “relationship” with Nikolai seriously, declaring that the same man was not next to her. The affair ended, and the singer and dancer became good friends again.

Two stars of the Sovremennik Theater are together both in life and on stage. The actresses play in several plays, for example, “Three Comrades”, “Three Sisters”, and also communicate outside of work. And not just together, but even with families. Chulpan truly admires the love of Dmitry Pevtsov and Olga Drozdova, considering them an example of a married couple. What is noteworthy is that Olga and Chulpan were awarded the Order of Friendship by Vladimir Putin in 2006 - a very symbolic coincidence.

The creative duo, known to the audience for their comic genre songs, was not invented or created for the sake of PR. The artists have had close relationships since their student years at GITIS. Leshchenko and Vinokur were able to maintain warm feelings throughout their lives - last year they invited their stage colleagues and spectators to their concert dedicated to the 45th anniversary of friendship, and a program was broadcast on television dedicated to the history of the artists’ relationship. Now men don’t see each other so often, but they still give each other gifts on holidays, try to meet as families at least once a week, and joke with each other. Although, as Vinokur recalls, he had never been able to play his best friend in his life.

The designer and socialite often smile for the cameras together at parties and presentations. One gets the feeling that the girls have been friends almost since childhood, but they met only a few years ago. And the first impression was not the most rosy: Sobchak made a couple of unflattering remarks about Ulyana, so the girls did not like each other. However, now, according to Ksenia, they have become sisterly close. The TV presenter has repeatedly shone on the red carpet in outfits from a designer friend and even entrusted Sergeenko with sewing her wedding dress.

Another example of male friendship from college (their third friend, by the way, was Mikhail Trukhin, with whom the guys loved to argue and sometimes joke around). After studying, the young people almost simultaneously moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow, and from then on began to serve in the Moscow Art Theater. Friends not only appear on the same stage, they have worked together in films - in the film “Heavenly Court”, where they play the roles of friends. Last year, Khabensky purchased property in Barcelona, ​​which is located near Porechenkov’s apartments.

The young actress treats the country's main matchmaker as a mentor and older sister, although at first, as Yulia recalls, she was afraid of the TV presenter. The story of their acquaintance is interesting. Yulia and Larisa worked on the entreprise “Storm in a Teacup”. Zimina at that time was not very experienced and famous, but at the first rehearsal she saw many famous actors around her, among whom was Larisa. Guzeeva, appreciating Zimina, praised her figure and...immediately offered her bacon. Seeing how the fragile girl crushed black bread, cucumbers and other treats, she laughed and saw a kindred spirit in Yulia.

As Ivan recalls, Efremov has long ceased to be just a friend - it would be more correct to call him a relative. Efremov is the godfather of Anfisa (one of Ivan’s daughters), and Okhlobystin and his wife became witnesses at the wedding of the Efremov couple. Okholobystin told many stories about how Mikhail helped him out in his youth: he ordered plays so that his friend could pay for his own wedding, brought money when he was lying with a broken leg, etc. According to the actor, “The bear is gold. There is no better friend."

Perhaps one of the most famous friends on our stage. The singers themselves no longer remember how they met, but they are sure that they can find a common language in any situation, and their tastes coincide in literally everything. By the way, their wives - Anzhelika Varum and Natalya Podolskaya - also communicate well, so the friendship has turned from male to family.

Who else?

TV presenters of the show “Heads and Tails” Regina Todorenko and Kolya Serga met thanks to the Ukrainian “Star Factory”.

Actors Evgeny Tsyganov and Pavel Barshak have known each other since their studies at GITIS; they created the group “Grenki” in their youth and played punk rock. Later they starred in the films “Walk” and “Peter FM”.

Actors Sergei Lavygin and Mikhail Tarabukin (Senya and Fedya) did not know each other before filming the TV series “Kitchen,” but after working on the project they continue to communicate with pleasure.

Famous actors Alexander Shirvindt and Mikhail Derzhavin have been friends almost all their lives and, as they assure, have never quarreled.

Actors Dmitry Pevtsov and Alexey Serebryakov are such close friends that they can call each other even at night.

Actors Yuri Kolokolnikov and Pavel Derevyanko are best friends after filming the film “Kuka”.

Director Valeria Gai Germanika and actress Agniya Kuznetsova have known each other for almost 10 years and did a lot in life at the same time, for example, they gave up teenage dreadlocks and fell in love with male dancers.

Recently, International Friends Day was celebrated all over the world. For many of us, a friend is a person who will always come to the rescue, support, listen and cheer. The stars, of course, also found people who are close in spirit and interests, on whose shoulders you can lean in difficult times. Who are celebrities friends with?
Zhanna Friske and Olga Orlova

Zhanna Friske’s illness has left no one indifferent: the singer’s fans are praying for her and wishing her a speedy recovery. Her sister Natalya is now constantly with Zhanna in Los Angeles, and her parents, who have returned to Russia, are preparing a house near Moscow for Friske’s arrival. However, there is one more person who supported Zhanna during treatment in the USA. This is her best friend, ex-colleague in the group “Brilliant”, singer Olga Orlova.
Olga became one of the few to whom Zhanna trusted her troubles. Orlova immediately and without a doubt left her current affairs and work projects, her family and lover in Moscow and followed her friend to America, where Friske is now being treated.
Of course, journalists and paparazzi began to follow the lives of the girls in the USA, and Olga even had to use a Facebook post to refute the information that she, Zhanna Friske and her family live in Los Angeles in the house of the writer Oksana Robski, and also furiously declare in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper that she “would give all the photographers in the eye.”


Many fans previously associated the name Olga Orlova only with the bright brunette from the girl group and with one of the friends of the heroine Kristina Orbakaite in the film “Carrot Love”. But the incident with Zhanna’s illness revealed to fans a different Olga Orlova - sensitive, strong, capable of not only empathy, but also support in a difficult situation. After all, the friendship of these two girls began with working together in one team: the stage, fans, flowers, the brightness of the images, life as a colorful show. Illness, fear, and seemingly endless days in the struggle for the life of one of their friends can become an obstacle in a relationship, but not for Friske and Orlova. Let's hope that for Zhanna and Olga, the test of friendship in grief is not only a test of strength, but also real proof that female friendship exists.
Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox

Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston played in the sitcom “Friends” for so long (10 seasons!) that they can no longer imagine their lives without each other. The on-screen friendship between Jennifer and Courtney ended ten years ago, but the real-life relationship between the celebrities still remains warm.
“Courtney will never judge. She is very fair, incredibly loyal and caring. I spent the night in her living room so many times, falling asleep in tears to her whisper “Everything will be fine”! Without going into details, I’ll just say that Courtney went through thick and thin for me, just as I was always there when she needed help,” Aniston told the American edition of HELLO! magazine about her relationship with Cox.
The friends really went through many hardships in life together: first, Jennifer’s divorce from Brad Pitt, then Courtney’s separation from her husband David Arquette after 14 years of marriage. According to the American portal The Improper, Arquette accused Aniston of being the one who ruined his marriage with Courtney - the actress allegedly turned her friend against him and advised him to get a divorce before it was too late. By the way, during this difficult period for Cox, the girls even decided to move in together for a while, buying a villa in the Mexican city of Cabo San Lucas.

Despite endless rumors that the best friends fight over men (for example, in 2011, when Jennifer began dating future fiancé Justin Theroux, Courtney condemned their romance), Aniston and Cox are very close. Although recently their friendship has been subjected to a new test: they say that Jen is tired of Courtney’s persistent advice and recommendations on the topic of pregnancy and motherhood and she prefers to communicate with the “easier and less stressful” TV presenter Chelsea Handler. Jennifer doesn't even want to invite Courtney to her upcoming wedding to Justin Theroux. We hope this is a temporary misunderstanding between "Monica" and "Rachel" - we love their union so much!
Ksenia Sobchak and Ulyana Sergeenko

Ksenia Sobchak: Ulechka, I’ll tell you honestly right away that it’s very difficult for me to do an interview with you, because I love you very much...
Ulyana Sergeenko: Don't you want to kill me?
Ksenia Sobchak: No, it’s just that when you love a person, it’s some completely different value. And it’s very difficult to be not only objective - I definitely won’t be able to do that - but in general it’s difficult to build a conversation with a person about whom you already know a lot.
This is how the conversation between two friends began touchingly in one of the issues of SNC magazine, the editor-in-chief of which is TV presenter, journalist and businesswoman Ksenia Sobchak. The interview gives the impression of a conversation between friends who have known each other almost since childhood, but in fact, Ksenia did not immediately become friends with the aspiring designer and socialite Ulyana Sergeenko.
Sobchak, having first seen Ulyana “in character” at a house party with mutual friends, publicly made several caustic comments about the “debutante.” They say that the creative director of Podium Fashion Market, Polina Kitsenko, saw Sergeenko in a tutu (all other guests preferred jeans, sweaters and T-shirts) and dropped the plate from her hands.

But ironically, it was Ksenia and Polina who became not only Ulyana’s closest friends, but also her reliable guides into the world of secular Moscow, full of pitfalls and whirlpools. At first, Daniil Khachaturov’s wife was mockingly called “Sobchak+1” in the crowd and compared to Ksenia’s ex-girlfriend Ulyana Tseytlina, but the girl very quickly managed to get rid of these “stamps”, and Ksenia recognized real talent in her and even entrusted Sergeenko to sew her wedding dress outfit, not to mention the fact that Ulyana Sergeenko began to dress on the red carpet. Smart and sharp-tongued Ksenia and the mysterious Ulyana, who seems to have stepped out of the pages of books with Russian folk tales, have not been separated for several years now - neither on vacation, nor at parties in Moscow, nor at official events.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck

This friendship has gone through fire, water and copper pipes. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck met at a very young age, when they were both only 7 years old. The boys lived on the same street in the small town of Cambridge (in the American state of Massachusetts) and often played together.
When the comrades were still in their teens, they finally decided to throw in their lot with acting, studied this skill together and went to screen tests. Before the friends managed to sell the script they wrote for the film “Good Will Hunting” to Miramax Films, they starred in films that did not bring success to either one or the other. But Damon and Affleck made a big bet on their script - one of the conditions of sale was that the authors receive roles in this film.
After the release of Good Will Hunting, the friends hit the jackpot: not only did they become famous, but Matt and Ben received an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Original Screenplay, as well as a National Board of Review Award for Special Contribution to Cinema, not to mention the total number of awards and nominations the film has collected.
Of course, after such success, both young actors received offers from the best directors and venerable producers. Affleck chose an action role (“Pearl Harbor,” “Daredevil,” the upcoming “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”), and Damon played more complex psychological roles (“The Talented Mr. Ripley,” “The Departed,” "The Bourne Identity") Apart from Good Will Hunting, the friends worked together in only one film - Dogma.

By the way, a new study by the New England Historical Genealogical Society has proven that Ben and Matt are related. It turned out that Affleck and Damon have a common great-grandfather in the tenth generation, William Knowlton, a 17th-century mason. from the English city of Ipswich.
Anastasia Volochkova and Nikolai Baskov


The outrageous ballerina and the “natural blond” have known each other for ages. They chatted pleasantly, meeting each other at official events and fun parties, but did not even allow themselves to flirt: Anastasia was married to Igor Vdovin, and Nikolai was having an affair with Oksana Fedorova. But it turned out that both Volochkova and Baskov broke up with their “halves” and at the end of 2011 began to exchange more tender messages on social networks than usual.
At one of the concerts of the couple’s mutual friend, Philip Kirkorov, Nikolai passionately kissed Anastasia, and fans simply had no doubt about the romance that had begun. The lovers posted candid photos together on Instagram and Twitter, while Anastasia continued to call Nikolai simply “a close friend.”


Anastasia Volochkova and Nikolai Baskov on the show “Two Stars”
However, when at the beginning of last year the couple went on a joint vacation to the Maldives, Volochkova and Baskov again did not fail to demonstrate either tender feelings or the relationship of best friends “with privileges” with the help of passionate kisses in the waves. Anastasia herself commented on this trip in an interview with the Tele.ru portal: “It’s surprising to me that our 15-year friendship with Kolya grew into courtship on his part! He was always a close person and friend to me. And now...". Apparently, such understatement ruined the romance between Volochkova and Baskov, who, however, were able to separate peacefully and once again transform the relationship into a friendly one.
Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts

Their friendship began at a fairly young age: Naomi was only 15 years old, and Nicole was a year older. They met in the studio of one of the Australian TV channels in Sydney, where they both lived after moving (Nicole arrived on the Green Continent from the USA, and Naomi from the UK), when they came to audition for a swimsuit advertisement. Having passed the casting, the girls went home, taking one taxi between them, which marked the birth of a strong friendship.
Watts and Kidman took different roads to the coveted heights of the film Olympus. The former did not gain fame as easily as the latter, but this did not affect their friendship in any way. When fate brought Kidman together with Tom Cruise, giving her the path to Hollywood, fame and money, she did not forget about her friend and tried to help her - she introduced her to the right people, recommended her for good roles. However, Naomi waited more than 15 years before she could make a name for herself in the Dream Factory, starring in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive.
Naomi told Empire magazine: “Nicole kept telling me that maybe just one film would change my destiny, and she was right. I didn't understand this at the time. I always believed that I needed to build my own career, so I tried my hand at fashion journalism and production. But, as Nicole predicted, just one role - and here I am in Hollywood.”

When Nicole was awarded the highest acting award, the Oscar, in 2003, the first person she called backstage with the treasured statuette in her hands was not her mother, but her best friend, Naomi Watts. The actresses successfully passed the test of friendship and fame. Nicole and Naomi are tightly connected by a similar Australian mentality, both talented beauties and dazzling blondes, they always helped each other in sorrow and joy (Watts was next to Kidman when she was going through a difficult divorce from Tom Cruise), refuting the well-known and naive thesis that women there is no such thing as friendship.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire

These women's favorites met in 1993 when they auditioned for the Robert De Niro film This Boy's Life. And although Leonardo DiCaprio received the main role in it, and Tobey Maguiar - a secondary one, the “deprived” actor was not offended at all and became friends with the charismatic and bright teenager Leo. “When I first saw Toby, I immediately thought that I wanted to be friends with this guy,” Leo admitted in an interview with American People magazine. - We have many common topics of conversation, and we, like any real friends, can always chat and laugh together. In addition, we always listen to each other’s opinions when discussing any projects.”
Since then, DiCaprio and Maguire have starred in several more films together (“Don's Plum Cafe,” “The Great Gatsby”). Unlike the happily married Toby, Leo is fickle in his choice of girlfriend, but he has been friends with his colleague Maguire for more than 20 years. Now the friends are trying to find time for each other, they especially like to play basketball and hang out with Toby’s children - daughter Ruby and son Otis.


Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio with Tobey's daughter, Ruby
“Toby’s kids call DiCaprio ‘Uncle Leo,’” one of the actors’ mutual friends told People magazine. “Leonardo loves spending weekends and holidays with the Maguire family.” We hope that the “eternal bachelor” DiCaprio, looking at his friend, will also decide to start a family (for example, with the young beauty Toni Garrn, with whom the actor is now dating).
Chulpan Khamatova and Olga Drozdova

Two prima dancers of the Moscow Sovremennik Theater play in several performances together (“Mamapapasyndog”, “Three Comrades”, “Three Sisters”) and, of course, became very good friends. Chulpan attracted Olga to her charitable projects, the participation in which Drozdova, however, does not advertise, and Olga taught Chulpan to truly “be friends with families”: Khamatova has three daughters who happily play with Drozdova’s little son. Of course, Chulpan was nearby during the tragedy - two years ago, Olga’s husband, actor Dmitry Pevtsov, lost his eldest son Daniil from his first marriage as a result of an accident.

“If I were Dmitry Pevtsov, I would say to all women: take the example of Olga Drozdova. How could personal life be made so sublime and so beautiful? - this is how Chulpan speaks warmly about her friend’s family in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper. - For me (and I’m not the only one!) their relationship is just some kind of fantasy. I don’t have such acquaintances that I could compare Olya and Dima with them and say: “Oh, well, this happens.” That is, this does not happen. And I’m very happy that it exists.”
By the way, back in 2006, during the celebration of the anniversary of the Sovremennik Theater, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded both Chulpan Khamatova and Olga Drozdova honorary Orders of Friendship. Symbolic for such a wonderful relationship between two actresses!
Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe

Russell Crowe met aspiring actor Hugh Jackman almost 15 years ago, when he came home to Australia after filming the film Gladiator and saw the TV series Corelli, in which Hugh played, playing on one of the TV channels. Russell took note of the talented actor, especially after talking with him personally when meeting him at an Australian television studio.
Upon returning to Hollywood, Russell Crowe was invited to play the role of Wolverine in the new X-Men project, but the actor firmly refused the job and offered to watch a demo tape of “a certain Mr. Jackman” in return. This is how Hugh ended up in Hollywood and woke up famous after the release of the first part of the mutant saga.
An immensely grateful Crowe Jackman was happy when the friends finally got the chance to play together in the musical Les Misérables in 2012. It is curious that the men constantly “teased” each other on the set: for example, Russell called Hugh the harmless word twirlie (“cool”, as a pop singer or dancer is called in American show business), and he, in turn, decided to take playful revenge friend with... fists.


According to the British newspaper The Sun, Hugh asked to re-shoot the fight scene with Russell's character so that he could beat up the Gladiator star again and again. One of the publication's sources said that "the film crew finds this very funny, because Crowe would probably sweep the floor with Hugh Jackman in a real fight."
Lady Gaga and Julian Assange


The unexpected union of the global superstar, singer Lady Gaga, and disgraced WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who continues to hide from the authorities in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, seems incredible. But it turned out that Gaga had been corresponding with Assange on the Internet for a long time, and they are connected by a real detective story - the fate of US Army private Bradley Manning. While working as a military analyst at the U.S. Hammer Base in Iraq, Manning brought into the office a rewritable CD containing songs by none other than Lady Gaga.
“I would come to work with Gaga's music on a CD, erase it, then burn the compressed files onto a CD,” Bradley admitted in a posted message from an online chat with one of his friends. - Nobody suspected anything. I listened to and synchronized Lady Gaga's songs with videos, and at the same time I myself carried out perhaps the largest leak of information in American history." Manning handed over the documents to WikiLeaks, and the shocking facts brought Assange's project worldwide fame.
In October 2012, Lady Gaga finally decided to visit a friend in “voluntary confinement” when she found herself in London during a concert tour. According to one version, the reason for Gaga’s visit to Assange was a message on Twitter from the British rap artist Mia: “If you are in Harrods today, come see Mr. Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy. It's right across the street. I'm already there. I’ll bring tea and cake.” No details about Mia’s visit to Assange were reported, and Gaga herself did not say a word to the journalists gathered in front of the embassy, ​​going inside and leaving the building 5 (!) hours later.


By the way, because of the outrageous diva who stayed with Assange, the editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks lost support from the famous hacker group Anonymous, as reported by Reuters. According to movement participants, the current situation with Assange has turned into a “one-man show.” “We are happy for the friendship of Julian and Stefani Germanotta, but this is absolutely not important to us,” the anonymous hackers emphasized. “We are more interested in government documents and information that they want to hide from the public.”

Despite the tough professional competition, in Hollywood an actor is not only an actor's wolf, but often also his best friend. ELLE chose celebrities who can fully be considered friends.

Future best friends - citizens, but not natives of Australia (Watts was born in England, Kidman in Hawaii), met at a casting. Both competed for the same role, and Nicole ultimately won. Despite this, the girls became friends. A few years later, they finally played together in the arthouse hit “Flirt.” Then Kidman went to Hollywood and quickly became a big star, and Watts could not keep up with her. Naomi also moved to the States, tried to make her way, was poor, despaired and, as she now admits, would definitely have broken down without the support of her friend. Then Naomi began to succeed, and soon it was her turn to support her friend - when Nicole was having a hard time with her divorce from Tom Cruise.

Aniston and Cox were brought together, of course, by the series Friends. More than 20 years have passed since then, but the actresses are still very close. “I adore Jennifer. With her, I can be who I really am, and I feel under her protection,” Courtney once admitted. At the same time, it was Aniston who most needed support. When her marriage to Brad Pitt ended, Cox unconditionally took her friend's side and demonstrated her devotion by repeatedly ignoring Pitt at various parties. Jennifer gradually got out of her personal crisis, and now both are doing great. “If I need to call someone at night, I don't think twice about calling Jen,” ​​Cox says.

They met in the late 80s, when their parents endlessly dragged them to auditions. “I immediately realized that I wanted to make friends with this kid,” DiCaprio would later say. Then there were joint films: “This Guy’s Life”, “Don’s Plum Cafe” (released five years later, in 2000, when both were already stars) and “The Great Gatsby”. In the 90s and the first half of the 2000s, Maguire was part of Leo's gang - they constantly played tricks together. Then Toby got married and completely focused on his family, greatly slowing down his career. He stopped hanging out with his friend, but this did not affect their relationship: Maguire and DiCaprio are still friends today.

“We are very closely connected - even my closest friends envy me,” Winslet once said, jokingly adding that although DiCaprio is a sex symbol for everyone, for her he is “stupid old Leo.” When Kate received a Golden Globe in 2008 for their second joint project after Titanic, Revolutionary Road, she confessed her love to Leo from the stage, and he blew kisses to her from the audience. When DiCaprio finally received the long-awaited Oscar this year for “The Revenant,” Winslet, without hesitation, cried with happiness. By the way, it was Leo who walked Kate down the aisle in 2012, when the actress married Ned Rocknroll.

They were brought together by their work on Ocean's 11. The actors carefully protect their friendship from prying eyes, but do not hesitate to give each other enthusiastic compliments. “He is very funny and generous - he brings joy to all his loved ones,” says Pitt, apparently referring to himself too. “I’m proud that he’s my friend,” Clooney returns the compliment.

The personification of true male friendship in Hollywood is the relationship between these two actors. Affleck and Damon became famous together thanks to Good Will Hunting, becoming famous overnight. Then they faced a lot of things, including personal difficulties, and here Ben Affleck played and still plays the first violin (affair with Jennifer Lopez, the current difficult to explain crisis in his marriage with Jennifer Garner). Damon, who is responsible for the mind in their couple, has always supported and supports his friend, avoiding unnecessary comments about the emotionally unstable Affleck.

“If I ever woke up in a sleazy hotel and there was a dead prostitute next to me, the first person I would call would be Matt,” Ben confessed. This says a lot.
