20 celebrity friendships you probably didn't know existed

From Courteney Cox and Ed Sheeran to Cara Delevingne and Selena Gomez, 10 unpopular celebrity friendships explored

1) Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg

Renowned rapper Snoop Dogg and television personality Martha Stewart are an incredible duo that nobody anticipated. The loving friendship between the two is one of the most unusual celebrity friendships of all time. In 2008, Snoop Dogg made a guest appearance on "The Martha Stewart Show" and went on to whip up some mashed potatoes. The next year, the rapper made a return to the show and baked some brownies.

Since then, Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart have collaborated on many exciting projects, including co-hosting VH1’s celebrity cooking show Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, Puppy Bowls and Snoop and Martha’s Very Tasty Halloween. Over the years, the two have become close friends and have an inseparable bonding.

In an interview for Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue, 81-year-old Stewart opened up about her unlikely friendship with Dogg. She said:

"Well, Snoop came on my show, and what was really charming about Snoop, first of all, was his giggle. He giggles in a very, very nice way... And his quest for learning! He is a real student, and that’s what really appealed to me."

During the interview, she further recalled their experience on the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber. She said while talking about Snoop:

"All he did was smoke, and everybody was in such a good mood … we were all roasting each other. And luckily, Snoop’s secondhand smoke really kind of eased the pain for me a lot...Okay! I’ll go with the flow here.’ After like six billion views around the world, it turned out to be one of the best things, and it cemented my relationship with Snoop."

2) Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone

Two of Hollywood's biggest stars Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone share an amazing friendship. The two have been longtime close friends since they were introduced by their mutual co-star Woody Harrelson. From that first meeting, the two felt a special connection with each other and soon became friends.

Since then, Lawrence and Stone have interviewed each other twice. On Stone's request, Jennifer Lawrence interviewed her for Elle's cover in 2018. The two also interviewed one another for a special for W Magazine.

In 2016, in an interview with Vanity Fair, Emma Stone spoke about their friendship and the love they share for each other. In the interview, she said:

"We both really do love each other and care about each other as people, beyond being actors...I support her completely when it comes to work, and I feel the same from her, but I know we'd be friends even if we didn't do the same job."

3) Courteney Cox and Ed Sheeran

The friendship between beloved songwriter and singer Ed Sheeran and Friends actor Courtney Cox is definitely one of the most unlikely celebrity friendships in the entertainment industry. The two connected on a deeper level and became extremely close friends after Ed Sheeran stayed at Courteney Cox's Malibu home while he was recording his mega-hit album titled X.

Sheeran even went on to introduce Courtney to Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol, who was her then-fiancé. Sheeran was also supposed to perform at their marriage ceremony before the two decided to postpone their wedding.

In August 2015, in an interview with The Sun, Cox talked about being grateful to Sheeran for introducing her to McDaid. She said:

"We are certainly grateful to Ed for introducing us...I can't imagine him not playing something at the wedding."
