There are loads of famous friends in Hollywood that we are all too familiar with. Think from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz, but there are some little known friendships that will surprise you.
Here’s a list of celeb pals we didn’t see coming:
Jennifer Lawrence, Adele and Emma Stone
They’ve hung out a few times and, honestly, it just makes sense since they’re all super famous and talented women. It’s like a girl gang of excellence.

Beyoncé and Blake Lively
Beyoncé asked Blake to make a cameo in the video for her and Jay Z’s Part II (On the Run) and we were all like “but how do they know each other?” Turns out Bey and Blake were both involved in Gucci's Chime For Change initiative along with other celeb names. It was at the 2010 jewellery collection launch hosted by Beyoncé and designer Lorraine Schwartz that we first saw them pictured together though.
David Beckham and Snoop Dogg
The pair first became friends in 2008, not long after The Beckhams moved from London to LA. David even appeared in an episode of the reality TV show Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood. And Snoop told the UK Mirror that David is “like a brother” and that he’s going to show him how to rap.
Jay Z and Chris Martin
While most us know that Beyoncé is friends with Gwyneth Paltrow, it’s not really as well known that Chris Martin and Jay Z are also firm friends. They met in 2006 and Chris collaborated with Jay on his comeback album Kingdom Come. They have also performed together a number of times.
Serena Williams and Colton Haynes
The pair have been friends for quite some time now, but it’s unclear how they first met. But they often post pictures of their awesome vacations and fun times to Instagram.
Courteney Cox and Ed Sheeran
These two were introduced by a mutual friend in 2013 and not long after that Ed reportedly spent three months living at Courteney’s beach house while writing music. And Ed introduced Courteney to her fiancé, Johnny McDaid.
Chris Hemsworth and Matt Damon
They are such good friends, they actually spend vacations together. They were spotted in Chris’s native Australia soaking up the sun in April 2017 before they went off to Monaco with their wives.
