Unlikely Friendships: We Love the Bond Between These 10 Unexpected Celebrity Duos
No one is surprised when celebs like Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore, or Brad Pitt and Bradley Cooper hang out. However, some celebrity friendships are much more unexpected but just as adorable. These odd but lovable friend duos remind us that anyone can connect despite age, race, background, talent, or status differences.
1. Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg
Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg might be the most famous unlikely duo ever, and we adore them. Who would’ve thought the rapper and the home decor guru would become besties? Their friendship may be odd, but it’s become a widely loved pairing by fans of both celebrities.
2. Carrie Fisher and James Blunt
After Fisher passed away, James Blunt revealed that he wrote a song about losing Carrie, who he called his best friend. These two souls connected on many levels and even lived with one another for a short time in 2003. She was one of his first famous friends, and they remained close until her death.
3. John Travolta and Pitbull
Apparently, John Travolta and Mr. Worldwide are close friends. These two have been pals for many years, and Pitbull even convinced Travolta to shave his head, which was big news then! They seem to have a similar sense of humor, and Travolta played Pitbull in one of the singer’s music videos as a fun joke.
4. Jack McBrayer and Alexander Skarsgård
Jack McBrayer is best known for his role as Kenneth on 30 Rock, while Alexander Skarsgård comes from a prominent Hollywood family. These two have a powerful bromance and consider each other extremely close confidants and buds. They even went as each other’s dates for the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
5. Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald
Looking back, this duo seems unavoidable, but not many expected Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald to be friends during their heyday. Not only were the two women very close, but Monroe was partially responsible for Fitzgerald’s success and fought for her to have a place in the industry.
6. Elton John and Eminem
These two musical powerhouses have changed the music industry in different ways, but no one ever expected them to be friends. However, they have one of the most endearing friendships and have performed together on stages. They have had similar struggles with substance abuse, and Elton John actually helped the 8-Mile star get sober.
7. Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell
If you’re a massive fan of A League of Their Own, this duo might not shock you. Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell became pals on the movie set, but their friendship has endured, and they still talk often. While they have had very different careers, they’ve always supported one another.
8. Kris Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence
These two celebs have a considerable age difference, but that hasn’t stopped them from developing a close relationship. Jennifer Lawrence talked about how much she loves Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and the next thing she knows, she’s hanging out with Kris, who says Lawrence feels like one of her daughters.
9. Harry Styles and Stanley Tucci
Harry Styles and Stanley Tucci are two of the most fashionable men in the world of celebrities, so we love that they’re buddies. This lovable pair has nothing but sweet and kind things to say about one another and, apparently, have similar hobbies, like cooking and pilates.
10. Lil’ Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus
If you have two ears and lived in modern society in 2018, you probably know that Lil’ Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus are friends. They unexpectedly collaborated on the hit “Old Town Road,” which began their adorable friendship. Cyrus has even said Lil’ Nas is part of the family.
