Can’t live without them! From Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens to Brad Pitt and George Clooney, these celebrity best friends have stuck by each other side’s through thick and thin.
Tisdale and Hudgens formed a lasting bond while working together on several projects. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody alum played Sharpay Evans to the Spring Breakers star’s Gabriella Montez in 2006’s High School Musical, 2007’s High School Musical 2 and 2008’s High School Musical 3: Senior Year.
Their friendship continued long after the cameras stopped rolling, despite their onscreen alter-egos’ rivalry in the trilogy. “We just have a connection and she’s so awesome and one of my best friends,” Tisdale told Us Weekly exclusively in August 2019. “What I love about her is that she’s so talented, and I think what we share is that we’re really grounded people and I think that that’s important, especially with what we do, is to stay grounded.”
The “Voices in My Head” singer pointed out that their relationship goes further back than their Disney Channel days. “We actually worked together a year before in a Sears commercial, and from that day on we were super close,” she explained. “So people don’t really know — I think some people know that, but they think it was that movie that brought us together and it really wasn’t.”
Busy Philipps, for her part, revealed how she maintains her friendship with Michelle Williams years after the pals starred together on Dawson’s Creek. “Whether you’re, like, in the public eye or not, I think the secret to longevity in friendships is putting in the time and the understanding and working through any issues that might arise,” the Cougar Town alum shared exclusively with Us in June 2019. “I think that especially now with texting, it’s even easier to stay in touch with people and be communicative.”

The actresses formed their friendship in the '90s and have continued to keep that bond strong over the years. McCarthy and Spencer even took their close connection to the big-screen when they starred together in Netflix's Thunder Force in 2021. The film follows the pair as two lifelong best friends who become superheroes after they take a special serum.
"After 20+ years, I'm #stillbestfriends with the incredible @octaviaspencer and I wouldn't have it any other way ❤️" McCarthy captioned a compilation of photos of the duo in April 2021.

The actresses became close friends after starring in 2014’s Wild and going on a press tour together to promote it. “You know someone is your favorite person when you’ve done a day of press, listened to yourself ad nauseam, listened to them tell every story, and when it ends, it’s like, ‘Are we going to eat something?’” Dern said of the experience in an interview with Vanity Fair. The two have since worked together on Big Little Lies, often go hiking together and in 2020 Witherspoon gave Dern tips on how to drink tequila during an Instagram Live chat.

I wouldn’t be here without you, man. I thank you, still.”
