Just because two people of the opposite gender share a close friendship or strong chemistry on-screen doesn’t mean they’ll automatically hit it off as a couple in real-life. Sometimes celebrities are truly better off as friends! Even though fans prefer to have art imitate life for the actors from our favorite movies, it doesn’t always work that way. At least with these kind of friendships, we don’t have to worry about them ever calling it quits — and they’re still super cute with each other! Here’s a look at 9 of the most adorable platonic relationships in Hollywood:
9. Julia Roberts and George Clooney
George Clooney and Julia Roberts have a friendship that goes way back. They starred in their first movie together back in 2001, and recently released another called Money Monster. These two are so close that Clooney once referred to her as family! “What’s fun is it’s really like a family. It makes it easy. It’s really fun to go, ‘Hey, let’s do this movie together,'” said Clooney to People. When he started dating his now wife Amal Clooney, he set up a dinner date to introduce her to Julia. “It was so much fun to have her meet my wife and have both of them be such good friends and hit it off so well.”
