From Swift's dispute with her old label to Gomez's health struggles and everything in between, these superstar besties have been side-by-side through each other's highs and lows.

These Boston natives have been best friends since 1980, when Matt Damon was 10 years old and Ben Affleck was only 8! The duo lived just a couple blocks away from each other in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and they bonded over baseball and acting.

The latter passion led them to star in several films together, including their Oscar-winning feature, Good Will Hunting, which they wrote.

Their characters on The Office may have had their differences, but Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey became fast friends on set. They've continued to honor the series that brought them together with their Office Ladies podcast, and they even wrote a retrospective book together called Office BFFs.

Maisie Williams & Sophie Turner

Peet said that trying to decide what she loves most about Paulson, who was in the delivery room when she gave birth to her daughter, Frankie, "is like saying what's great about the daytime."

Peet added: "I don't like it when she leaves me. It's like we were separated at birth."

Ben Platt & Beanie Feldstein

The two stars of the stage and screen have been each other's biggest fans for years. Ben Platt and Beanie Feldstein were not only "best friends" in high school — they even went to prom together.

"We both decided we liked each other better than the guy," she continued while Spencer added: "Our friendship has lasted so much longer than that!"
