"Personal, pure and disinterested affection, shared with another person, which is born and strengthened by attachment" is how the Royal Spanish Academy defines friendship. Many friendships are born when we are just kids with our schoolmates or neighbors; and many others as we are older at university, practicing a sport, or at work.
Here are some friendships between celebrities that will surprise you.
Matt Damon (Suburbicon) and Ben Affleck (Hypnotic) attended the same school in Boston and became great friends ever since they met playing at the baseball Little League. They shared a passion for cinema and the industry, so throughout the thirty-five years of friendship, they continue to accompany each other in every challenge they undertake.
Two actresses who have been bonded by acting and red carpets since they were very young are Amanda Seyfried (Gringo) and Mae Whitman. In 2015, Whitman uploaded a photo to her Twitter account recalling old times when they were both very young and they wore classic jean jackets.
A friendship that left us speechless is that of American actor and director Jonah Hill (Mid90s, The Wolf of Wall Street) and singer, songwriter, leader of Maroon 5, Adam Levine. How did they meet? When their respective parents met in the Principal's office of the school they attended. As they were also neighbors, they used to carpool, and this resulted in a nice friendship. Hill even had the honor of being chosen by his friend Levine to officiate his wedding with Behati Prinsloo in 2014.
Finally, two divas from Hollywood: Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers, Second Act) and Leah Remini (Second Act) were introduced by Lopez's ex-husband, Marc Anthony in a 2004 premiere. The singer confessed in an interview that there was instant chemistry. “I felt that I loved this person, that I loved being around her. She made me laugh a lot," she adds. Remini agrees: We're very close like sisters are and also in a different way than sisters are."
There is nothing more beautiful than celebrating friendship!
