Some celebrity friendships lend themselves to strong chemistry as couples. So much so that their bonds become unbreakable and they end up not as romantic partners, but besties in real life.
Here are nine of our favourite on-screen couples who are best friends when the camera stop rolling.
1. Abbi Jacobson and D’Arcy Carden

Jacobson and Carden met 15 years ago at an Upright Citizens Brigade improv class and became close friends. In the Amazon Prime Video TV adaptation of the 1992 movie A League of Their Own, the two play clandestine lovers on the Rockford Peaches baseball team.
“It was just two friends that were working with an intimacy coordinator and French-kissing a bunch,” Carden told Glamour magazine of filming romantic scenes together. “I just remember on set in Pittsburgh being like, wow, we’ve kissed every day this week. Like, that’s what we do now.”
2. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet

Winslet and DiCaprio formed a close bond while filming the 1997 blockbuster hit Titanic. Years later, they played a married couple in the 2008 drama Revolutionary Road, for which Winslet won a Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture drama.

“He’s my friend, my really close friend,” Winslet told The Guardian in 2021. “We’re bonded for life.”
3. Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt’s on-screen chemistry as romantic leads in 500 Days of Summer prompted speculation that the two were dating, but Gordon-Levitt shut down the rumours in a 2012 interview with Playboy magazine.
“It’s awkward when people say that,” he said. “Whatever. Zooey and I just think it’s funny. It is funny. We’ve been friends for 10 years. She loves films, music and art, and she’s incredibly knowledgeable about that stuff.”
4. Charlotte Ritchie and Mae Martin

Ritchie and Martin first met in Edinburgh in 2012 through mutual friends. Martin told Autostraddle in 2020 about writing some of her inside jokes with Ritchie into Feel Good.
“Charlotte is a friend of mine and we’d been in LA together and she’d been doing this deep American accent as a joke,” Martin said. “I knew I wanted to get it in there and make her do it. She nailed it so much. That was a really hard scene to get through because I was laughing so hard.”

5. Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall

DuVall and Lyonne met through their shared agent and formed a close friendship that made acting together feel natural and easy, DuVall told The Criterion Collection.
“We could do no wrong together,” she said of working with Lyonne in But I’m A Cheerleader. “Every take felt good and right because we were so present with each other in a way that I can’t say I’ve been with very many actors in my career.
“That feeling came back when Natasha was in the first movie I directed [The Intervention]. We played girlfriends, and it was that same kind of easy, lived-in feeling. Even in the scenes that were more challenging it felt like there was something there that doesn’t happen all the time.”
6. Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd

Aniston and Rudd reportedly first met when they co-starred in the 1998 movie The Object of My Affection. They remained close friends, working together again when Rudd joined the Friends cast as the side character Mike Hannigan in 2002.
They played an on-screen couple once again in the 2012 movie Wanderlust (which also stars Aniston’s now-ex-husband Justin Theroux).

“I love him. He is a dear friend,” Aniston told The Hollywood Reporter while talking about working with Rudd again. “We just have a true affection for each other and I just feel honoured any time I get to work with him.”
7. George Clooney and Julia Roberts

Roberts and Clooney played love interests in 2001’s Ocean’s Eleven and 2004’s Ocean’s Twelve. They appeared together in Money Monster in 2016, and most recently played a divorced couple trying to convince their daughter out of getting married in the new film Ticket to Paradise.
“What a relief we’re not Hollywood friends,” Roberts told People magazine in 2016. “I just said to him an hour ago, ‘Thank God we really do like each other, or we’d be in hell.’”
8. Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney

Horgan and Delaney met through Twitter and became writing partners and co-stars on their show Catastrophe.
“I think it’s easier with a friend once you get the first one out of the way,” Horgan said of filming romantic scenes together. “With friends, you can say ‘My thigh hurt.’ Or you could say, ‘Could you please move weight on me?’ Or you could say, ‘Do you mind if I get a towel to dry myself off?’”
9. Emma Watson and Rupert Grint

Watson and Grint grew up together on the set of Harry Potter, making their kissing scene in Deathly Hallows an “awkward” experience.
“The only good side to it was the fact that we were both in the same boat,” Watson told MTV News in 2009. “We were both just like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe we have to do this. This is so awkward. Really awkward.’ So I could take comfort in the fact that Rupert felt the same way.”
