There is a prejudice that two roosters in one dump can’t get along. We will prove to you that this is not quite the case. Not only do these men work together, but they see each other regularly in their free time and support each other – even in the most difficult moments.

Hollywood’s most wanted and sexiest actor Brad Pitt and George Clooney they have been friends for almost thirty years. They share the same sense of humor when they have fun at each other’s expense. For example, when George was asked how he was looking forward to filming the thriller Wolfs (in cinemas from September 19) with Pitt, he jokingly replied: “I guess they didn’t get anyone cheaper.” Neither one hesitates to involve other celebrities in their jokes. For example, Clooney once sent a package Meryl Streep and pretended to be from Pitt. Inside was a CD with expert speech lessons for the actors to practice and perfect their accents. Clooney also included a letter saying that the CD helped him with his dialect in the movie Troy and that it might be useful for her. Pitt gave it back – when they were filming the second installment of Danny’s Sidekicks in Italy, he told reporters: “For the sake of his role, George wants you to call him only Mr. Ocean, Danny Ocean, or Danny.” The media caught on and started labeling Clooney for real . “He’s my friend and we get along really well,” Clooney said in an interview with People magazine.

The actress got together in the 90s of work. They starred together in twelve films, the most famous of which are Zoolander, Starsky & Hutch or Night at the Museum. But even before they stood side by side in front of the camera Ben Stiller loved Owen’s work. “He wrote me a letter saying that he liked me a lot in the comedy Grázlové and that he hopes for future cooperation. It meant a lot to me because I don’t think anyone else saw him,” the actor laughed, adding, “Since we first became friends and hung out in New York, we still laugh at the same things and our dynamic is still pretty similar.” Their friendship was further strengthened in 2007, when Owen Wilson tried to suicide. Ben commented on the Ellen DeGeneres show: “He’s doing really well. But I want to protect his privacy. He is my good friend. He’s an incredible guy and I wish him the best, like everyone else.”

The life paths of these two Hollywood stars first collided in 1995 when they co-starred in the cartoon Toy Story. The well-known slogan “To infinity and beyond” originating from this fairy tale was also reflected in their lives. “Tom and I are really close friends. He’s probably the only man who listens to me but doesn’t judge,” Allen said during a recent talk show interview Kelly Clarkson. And this despite the fact that they have different personalities and opinions. But that too is part of friendship, just like tolerating the other person’s mistakes. “For example, Tom eats fries off my plate when we have lunch together. I come from a family where nothing like that is done,” laughed the famous “Kutil Tim”. Despite the heavy workload, Tim Allen s Tom Hanks they meet regularly at least once every two months.

A prime example of bromance is actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who have known each other since childhood. Their friendship also resulted in the collaboration that brought them together in 1997 Oscar for Best Screenplay for Good Will Hunting. They most recently collaborated on the films The Last Stand, in which they starred and co-wrote (2021), and Air: The Birth of a Legend (2023), which Affleck directed. They still stay close. “Matt lives not far from me like he used to. The only difference is that we have swimming pools,” laughed Affleck to Boston magazine. Ben’s first wife Jennifer Garner she took their friendship with humor. “They are proof that love lives on in Hollywood. At least for my beloved husband and my husband’s beloved husband.” When the famous couple was divorcing, Matt was understandably close to his friend. “I don’t want to talk too much about our friendship. For that, it’s very important to me and it transcends any career,” Damon said. Affleck doesn’t skimp on the praise either. “Having Matt is extremely important to me. It’s not just Matt. It’s his whole family.”

As with Ben and Matt, so are the actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire have known each other since childhood. They first met as child actors at an audition in the 1980s and found kindred spirits as they shared similar fates – only mothers raised them. They often go out to basketball games in private, go on vacations together, and even have matching wolf necklaces to refer to the group they were both part of called the Wolf Pack. Plus, they’re both single (Maguire divorced in 2020) and enjoying the bachelor life to the fullest. But Maguire said there was nothing unusual about their friendship. “We are like everyone else. There is a lot of laughing and chatting between us. We enjoy doing a lot of things together.” DiCaprio, in turn, admitted that he consults with Maguire about everything. “Every decision I made, I talked to Tobey and vice versa,” he told the AP.
