It's kind of assumed that all celebrities know each other, but that's usually not the case. So, when a random celebrity is seen hanging out with someone totally outside of their social circle, fans and critics alike are bound to find some interest in it! These are some of the weirdest, most random celebrity friendships that also just seem right...
Dakota Johnson, Cara Delevigne, and Taylor Swift
An actor, a model, and a pop star, all three of these ladies are from totally different walks of life. There have been rumors that Johnson and Delevingne are dating, but they continue to say that those are just rumors and they're really good friends. It seems like the three besties always make a point to get together when they can!
Matt LeBlanc and Emilia Clarke
The two showed up on "The Graham Norton Show" and had a ball. Clarke admitted that she was obsessed with LeBlanc ever since his "Friends" stint. They had a lot of good chemistry during the interview! Who knows, maybe they'll brew up something in 2020 that's on the same level of "Friends" and "Game of Thrones."
Blake Lively and Florence Welch
Somehow, these two sparked up a pretty good friendship despite living across the pond! Florence Welch is the ever-popular frontwoman of the band Florence and the Machine. Blake Lively is best known for her stint on Gossip Girl and has starred in tons of other popular shows and movies. Welch actually performed at Lively's wedding to actor Ryan Reynolds.
Jared Leto and Justin Bieber
Yes, that is Jared Leto. Yes, he looks a bit different than usual. Despite the bizarre attire, Leto and Justin Bieber have been seen out on the town multiple times together. They must have other things in common than their music career... Maybe going to the gym?
Britney Spears and A.J. McLean
Britney Spears and A.J. McLean were both pop stars during the 90s and early 2000s, so this relationship doesn't seem too farfetched. McLean has visited Spears during her residency in Las Vegas multiple times and Spears always gushed about it on Instagram. In one post, she claims she was the, "biggest Backstreet Boys fan!" How sweet!
Mariah Carey and Will Ferrell
These two are on super opposite sides of the celebrity spectrum. With Will Ferrell, you have a witty and nonsensical comedic actor. With Mariah Carey, you have a diva pop star who basically defined the holidays. Somehow, these two clicked. You can't say that chemistry isn't real!
Mariah Carey and Beyonce
It makes sense that these two would be friends, or at least friendly. Mariah Carey is known as being the diva of all divas, and Beyonce is much more relaxed and down to earth. Hey, at least Mariah Carey actually knew who Beyonce was... Does anyone else remember that whole, "I don't know Jennifer Lopez," stunt?
Amy Schumer and Ronda Rousey
Amy Schumer posted this snap of her and UFC champ Ronda Rousey hanging out in a New York City park. It's unclear how the two know each other or what they were even doing together. The only real interaction the two had was when Amy Schumer made a joke on twitter about people comparing her appearance to Rousey's opponent Holly Holm with a simple, "Thanks everyone for congratulating me on my win #ufc."
Prince Harry and One Direction
The Brits are all here! The boy group and the prince have met multiple times at the point that this photo was taken. These guys are probably some of England's most notable names. They've probably had a few nights out together, too.
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber seems to always be hanging with people twice his age! Bieber was 21 at the time of this photo. It's unclear where it was taken, but fans of the two suspect it was probably backstage of the Ellen DeGeneres show while he was pushing his new album.
Melissa Harris-Perry, Zendaya, and Kerry Washington
Who doesn't love a group of strong friends? All of these women have one thing in common: their powerful influence. Once again, they're all from different parts of the celebrity world. Melissa Harris-Perry is a writer, professor, and political commentator. Zendaya is an actress and singer who got her start on Disney. Kerry Washington is an actress in the incredible series "Scandal."
Selena Gomez and Michelle Williams
The two actresses were seen getting cuddly on the red carpet for the InStyle Awards in Los Angeles. The story behind this photo is quite sad. Three days before the awards, Gomez lost her makeup artist to suicide. Michelle Williams was at her side this night in an attempt to cheer her up and give her support during that difficult time.
Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner
Apparently, Jennifer Lopez and the Kardashian family are pretty close! Momager Kris Jenner has also talked about JLo in a friendly fashion. Of course, being friends with JLo also means being friends with ARod...
Kim Kardashian and Jaime King
The two women struck up a friendship when Jaime King was very vocal in her support of Kim Kardashians Met Gala look in 2013. Kardashian was extremely pregnant with her and Kanye's first child when she was invited to the Met Gala by Anna Wintour. When she showed up, everyone made fun of her for being too big and "looking like a couch." King put herself out there in a vulnerable post about anti-body shaming, especially pregnant bodies. Obviously, the two women are on close terms now.
Jake Gyllenhaal and the Carters
Yes, this picture became a meme. Yes, they were all extremely funny. The one thing that meme culture overlooked was the fact that these three are actually good friends. They've been seen courtside multiple times and even dining out.
Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, and Jessica Alba
Although it's not super public, the families enjoy going on vacations together. Jessica Alba is a Hollywood A-Lister in tons of movies and TV shows, John Legend is a legendary singer, and Chrissy Teigen is an iconic model. Once again, worlds collide!
Mariah Carey and Lacey Chabert
Some people would probably say that Mariah Carey is a real-life mean girl... Maybe she's learned from the best! Lacey Chabert is best known for her role as Gretchen in Mean Girls. It looks like these two are at some sort of holiday party together, or they were just on set for their television film A Christmas Melody.
Lena Dunham and Claire Danes
Almost every photo of Claire Danes and Lena Dunham together are in this same exact position. They just can't get enough love! In fact, during one of Dunham's red carpet interviews with Ryan Seacrest, Danes snuck up behind them and interrupted. “I’m really excited because you’re my really good friend and I never get to see you,” Dunham said to Danes.
Justin Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian
This friendship made headlines the second that these two were spotted out. Even though they are both A-List celebrities, their age gap made this a pretty bizarre friendship. Kourtney Kardashian is 40 years old while Justin Bieber is 25. They started hanging out when the singer was around 21 or 22.
Rashida Jones and Natalie Portman
Even though Natalie Portman usually takes on more serious roles, she still has an awesome comedic side to her. That's what makes her friendship with Rashida Jones so pure! They've also done some skits with FunnyOrDie where their friendship chemistry is on point. There should be more skits with these besties...
Justin Bieber and Jennifer Garner
J-Biebs and Jennifer Garner met up in 2015. Bieber was performing at Think It Up, an Entertainment Industry Foundation charitable telecast. Apparently, Bieber and Garner hit it off, leading to a friendly Instagram post that Bieber captioned, "Loved meeting Jennifer Garner she's so awesome."
Rihanna and Cara Delevigne
Model and actor Cara Delevigne has always praised Rihanna for how many times she has been there for her as a friend. If Cara needed a shoulder to cry on, Rihanna would be there. If she needed advice on a huge career move, Rihanna would give it to her straight. Cara says that her phone calls with Rihanna usually end with, "[She told me] everything happens for a reason. You are going to call me back in a week or two and say, 'You are right.'"
Stacey Dash and Miley Cyrus
These two celebs have had their names throughout the media for tons of different reasons. Stacey Dash played Dionne Marie Davenport in the 1995 film Clueless and has since been somewhat of a controversial name. Miley Cyrus was the Disney star turned raunchy pop star who has since made a 180 on her image. Apparently, they met up in a Staples of some sort.
Russel Brand and Helen Mirren
We're not sure, either. These two have worked together on a few projects which is where the friendship probably stemmed from. Russel always gushes about Helen whenever he gets the chance to. He describes themselves as, "a dame and a vagabond." They are a dynamic duo, that's for sure.
Jay-Z and Nick Jonas
I wonder who asked for the picture... Jay-Z or Nick Jonas? These two men have had very different careers. Jonas is one of the founding members of the Jonas Brothers boy band. Jay-Z, on the other hand, is basically one of the founding fathers of the current rap scene. Maybe they'll do a song together... That'd be interesting!
Sofia Vergara and Reese Witherspoon
Although they haven't been on tons of sets with each other, the two actors have been described as having a pretty good bond! They were even seen hanging out with each other at the ACM Awards a couple of years back, even when they came with dates.
Ruby Rose and Taylor Swift
These two are actually much closer friends than most would think! The Aussie has shared that she and Swift barely keep secrets from each other and hang out whenever they can. Swift even cast her BFF in her "Bad Blood" music video with tons of other strong ladies!
Taylor Swift and Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba was added to Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" besties list for the music video. How could you not? Jessica rocks a catsuit in the music video, much to many people's surprise! There were a lot of surprise faces in that video, which is just what Taylor wanted. Her girl gang is way bigger than you'd ever imagine.
Blake Lively and Patti Smith
What happens when a music legend and a Gossip Girl star get together? Well, obviously, a weirdly filtered Instagram picture. Celebrities probably get invited to all sorts of parties and get to meet all sorts of people, so that's probably how this photo was brought to light.
Harry Styles, Kendall Jenner, Portia De Rossi, and Ellen DeGeneres
Paparazzi ended up catching two iconic couples yachting together one summer afternoon. Harry Styles is on the left, Kendall Jenner is seen hugging Portia De Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres is on the right. It's pretty amusing how Harry Styles and Ellen DeGeneres are basically wearing the same exact outfits. The biggest question is: Who invited who?
Barbara Streisand and Lady Gaga
What do these two icons have in common? Their strong profiles! They decided to take to Instagram to shut the haters up. Nothing will stop these strong ladies, especially not bullies. Barbra Streisand has always been made fun of because of her prominent nose, and Lady Gaga has suffered the same fate.
Jennifer Garner and Chelsea Handler
The comic was spotted having a girl's night out with an A-Lister actress. Apparently, they were seen out on the town right after Garner had a breakup with Ben Affleck. Tabloids were speculating that they were trying to get on Affleck's nerves... Apparently, the restaurant they were seen leaving was one of his favorites and one that he frequented with his new girlfriend. Classic girl's night out!
Priyanka Chopra and Meghan Markle
Before she was the Duchess of Sussex, she was a normal actress running around New York City with her good pal, Priyanka Chopra. Now, the two ladies are traveling the world with their husbands, but the two will probably be reunited soon since the Duke and Duchess are stepping away from their royal duties...
Kris Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence has always been obsessed with the Kardashians. After she made it big, she ended up striking up a random friendship with Kris Jenner. Weird, I know. They're actually really close friends and have been seen out together multiple times. J-Law is even invited to their family parties!
Mila Kunis and Princess Beatrice
When British royalty mixes with Hollywood Royalty. Apparently, the two women have been longtime best friends. They even like to go out on the town with their partners. You can catch them double dating usually in New York City!
Jane Fonda and Lena Dunham
At 82-years-old, Jane Fonda has been through it all. At this point, she's most known for using her platform for her social and animal activism. So, it makes sense that Jane Fonda and Lena Dunham have sat down together a few times! The two have done multiple interviews together about feminism and body positivity.
Kris Jenner and Lance Bass
It's no secret that Lance Bass is one of Kris Jenner's favorite people. The two are seen getting dinners together quite often, especially with their partners. A double date isn't so rare! Just how did the ex-NSYNC member and momager get together? No one really knows.
Joe Jonas and Ansel Elgort
This friendship is one where you find yourself wondering how they even met. Joe Jonas, from the Jonas Brothers, is a musician, while Ansel Elgort is an actor. Obviously, those two careers intermingle pretty often, so these guys must have clicked.
Caitlyn Jenner and Naomi Watts
Every celebrity has gone to Nobu in Malibu. Honestly, I don't even think celebrities are regarded as such if they haven't been to Nobu! The former Olympian and actress got together one summer night and the press went wild. Jenner had gotten into a new group of friends after her fall out with her family, so it seems like Watts has been keeping her some company.
Kanye West and Kristen Stewart
Seeing one of the most controversial rappers alongside the Twilight star is definitely a random sight! The two were spotted hanging out at a club in Paris a few years ago. I'm very curious to know how they met up, let alone in Paris.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Oprah
Oprah is a totally different kind of celebrity. She started off as a small-town journalist and ended up as a multi-millionaire jack of all trades. These two met up on a Variety shoot and ended up hanging out for a little bit. Gwyneth posted a selfie that they took onto Instagram with the caption, "I'm s******g my paaaaants!" It seems like she was excited.
Dakota Johnson and Benedict Cumberbatch
The actor and actress were seen in New York City grabbing some lunch and enjoying the sights. Apparently, he made quite the spectacle at this lunch date with butting a white napkin over his face in an attempt to hide (or amuse?) the paparazzi. Can't two iconic actors just grab some lunch?!
Jennifer Aniston and Emily Blunt
Jennifer Anniston and Emily Blunt have been friends for a while. They've been to each other's weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, the whole nine yards! Jennifer Anniston is an actress and film producer while Emily Blunt is a Golden Globe-winning actress. Talk about a power friendship!
Martha Stewart and Mr. T
Weirdly enough, there have been a few occasions with Mr. T and Martha Stewart having a good time with each other. The lifestyle guru and businesswoman has taken on tons of different projects throughout her years in the public eye. Mr. T has been in the business for years as an actor and TV personality. The two first met on the Today Show while he was promoting Fuze iced tea.
Amanda Seyfried and Mae Whitman
These two have been friends since their early childhood years. It's pretty rare to see this in Hollywood! What are the odds that two childhood friends can follow each other to LA? They usually did a lot of things together when they were first getting into acting.
Cressida Bonas and Princess Beatrice
Cressida Bonas used to date Princess Beatrice's cousin, Prince Harry. Apparently, that break-up didn't mean much to these friends as they're seen hanging out quite a bit. Sisters before misters!
Emily Blunt and Lily Collins
These two are so on the same page that they accidentally started twinning at one movie event! Honestly, they look like they could be sisters. They definitely seem to be on good terms, despite the fashion mishap!
Eva Longoria and Melanie Griffith
Eva Longoria is best known for her stint on Desperate Housewives. Lately, she's taken her energy into activism and her own businesses. Melanie Griffith (daughter of Tippi Hedren, mother of Dakota Johnson) has been in tons of iconic films, especially many independent thrillers. These two actually have a really tight-knit relationship and are seen hanging out pretty frequently.
Gwen Stefani and Angelina Jolie
Singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani probably became close friends with iconic actor Angelina Jolie through the kids' playdates, but they still have some "mom" time together. The kids can run off and play while the moms sit back and do whatever rich people do.
Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd
Luckily, Jennifer Anniston and Paul Rudd are pretty good friends with the amount of on-screen kissing they've had to do in their careers. They've actually done a good amount of movies together. Directors must love their chemistry!
Jennifer Aniston and Emma Stone
No one really knew that these actresses were that close until they met up with each other on the Oscar's red carpet. There are tons of photos of them excitedly hugging and grabbing each other... Jennifer Anniston even lifted up Emma stone into the air, and Stone did the same in turn!
Jennifer Lawrence and Drew Barrymore
It had been a while since Jennifer Lawrence and Drew Barrymore last saw each other. They were quick to rejoice at the Golden Globes and the photographers documented the loving embrace. Then, they decided to take some pictures together on the red carpet! No one knew that they were friends at all, so this was a nice to embrace to catch!
Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie is much more than her days with Paris Hilton on "The Simple Life." Now, she's more of a business mogul, socialite, and fashion designer. She's quite good friends with actor Jessica Alba. They've been on tons of vacations together, which must be especially fun with their tribe of children.
Jon Hamm and Paul Rudd
Funny enough, these two crossed paths in college. Jon Hamm took a friend's sister to prom and had a bit of a "thing" with her for a while. Said girl met Paul Rudd, her brother's new college roommate, and became interested in him. Apparently, they duked it out to earn her love during a game of Trivial Pursuit.
Jude Law and Lena Dunham
It's unclear as to what their relationship is, but they're obviously close. In this photo, Lena Dunham accompanied Jude Law to the premiere of Don Hemingway. She didn't have a role in the film and was there just as his date...
Julia Roberts and Amal Clooney
George Clooney did it right by introducing these two ladies. Clooney invited Julia Roberts out to dinner with them, and the ladies immediately clicked. "We went out to dinner. I met her at dinner. George doesn’t need my approval, but I’m quite enamored with her,” Julia told Extra about meeting Amal.
Kate Hudson and Katy Perry
Sharing a name isn't the only thing these two have in common! They accompanied each other to this awards show and seemed to have a good time together. Katy Perry has some acting credits but is best known for her musical career. Golden Globe winner Kate Hudson is an actor, author, and fashion designer. She's also the daughter of Goldie Hawn.
Britney Spears and Kate Hudson
What do a pop diva and movie star have in common? Who knows! These two have been seen out partying and spending some quality time together, especially in Vegas. Obviously, they both have pretty busy schedules so it is rare to see these two together.
Kate Moss and Harry Styles
This one is a bit weird. Apparently, former One Direction star Harry Styles was totally enamored with superstar model Kate Moss. After this, they reportedly shared a "friendly" kiss, but who really knows? Maybe Harry likes a cougar.
Katy Perry and Allison Williams
Katy Perry and actor, Allison Williams, actually frequent award shows together. Katy has taken Allison to the Grammy's as her date multiple years in a row. These two besties definitely have a close connection, which seems to be hard to find in Hollywood.
Keira Knightely and Hailee Steinfeld
Keira Knightley plays more of a "big sister" role to Hailee than a friend, which is super heartwarming. They got very close while they filmed Begin Again, which is a film about a woman who is a struggling singer in New York City. She gets close with her new boyfriend's daughter and takes her under her wing in the indie music industry.
Kerry Washington and Leonardo DiCaprio
You have to get close to one another when filming a movie like Django Unchained. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kerry Washington seemed to have a close bond even after filming, and make it a point to see each other when their equally busy schedules let them.
Demi Lovato and Kim Kardashian
Girl power at it's finest. Both Demi Lovato and Kim Kardashian have applauded each other on their body confidence and body-positive messages. These two women have faced a lot of scrutiny about their bodies, and it's obvious that they've helped each other. Demi even credits Kim for helping her accept her body.
Kim Kardashian and Ciara
It's no secret that these two are pretty good friends, especially with Kim being married into the music industry. Singer Ciara will have playdates with Kim's kids whenever there's an open slot in their busy schedules, and the ladies do make time for each other, too! If they're at the same event, they're usually glued at the hip.
Kris Jenner and Selena Gomez
Kris Jenner loves Selena Gomez. She absolutely adores her. In fact, she's said on multiple occasions that she wants to have Selena under her management. Kris was even seen comforting Selena at the Met Gala when tears escaped the young artist. Even when she's working, she's still a mom!
Leighton Meester and Zuzanna Szadkowski
That's right, Blair and Dorota are still the best of friends. Even more so off-screen! These two seem to catch up with each other every now and then (from what the paps can catch). The Polish actor has done a few acting stints here and there but is mainly keeping to herself these days.
Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart
We couldn't leave this pair out! At this point, their friendship is pretty well known and accepted. When they were first seen hanging out, everyone thought it was super weird but also super funny. The two have a TV show together and do tons of appearances with one another. And, yes, they do hang out offset!
Maya Rudolph and Gwyneth Paltrow
Many people actually don't know this, but Maya Rudolph and Gwyneth Paltrow have been friends since elementary school. Their dads were friends, so they just naturally got to know each other. Gwyneth even hosted SNL while Rudolph was in the cast, and brought her on during her monologue.
Melanie Griffith and Kris Jenner
Another unlikely family match! The Griffiths/Johnsons and Kardashian/Jenners tend to vacation with each other pretty frequently. If they're not doing that, they're out having lunch or going shopping.
Meryl Streep and 50 Cent
A lot of people know by now that 50 Cent is a generally pretty chill person outside of his music. You have to be chill in order to hang with Meryl Streep! These two were spotted courtside at a basketball game... The chemistry must have been good enough for Streep to post for a 'gram with 50.
