(#1) Donald Faison And Zach Braff

Friendship Goals: Faison and Braff are your typical best bros. They exchange silly banter on Twitter, play tennis together, and even have bizarre best friend phone cases. They are so close that Braff claimed they practically invented the concept of bromance.
“It has to be real. The only way to have a real bromance is if you’re genuinely fond of each other. [Faison's] my best friend. I’m really fond of that man, I’m not ashamed to say it. And to the supporters of our bromance, I’d like to say, thank you," Braff said.

(#2) Jennifer Aniston And Courteney Cox

When Aniston was being dragged through the mud during ex-hubby Brad Pitt's divorce from Angelina Jolie, Cox was there to slam the negative press. In turn, Aniston sometimes babysits for Cox and lets her daughter, Coco, play dress up in her multi-million dollar wardrobe. That's real love!

(#3) Tina Fey And Amy Poehler
How They Met: The fierce women met in 1993 while doing improv at Second City. They were introduced by ImprovOlympic co-founder Charna Halpern at her Chicago event.

Tina and Amy have been a groundbreaking, patriarchy-smashing comedy duo ever since. It was totally meant to be.
Friendship Goals: The reason Tina and Amy even are Tina and Amy is because Fey convinced Poehler to move to New York and join Saturday Night Live, where Fey was a writer. Since then, they've functioned as a team and starred alongside each other in films they co-wrote (Sisters and Baby Mama are among their credits). They've done everything from tackling politics and reprising their roles as Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin on SNL to hosting the Golden Globes.

Friendship Goals: DiCaprio and Maguire are an undeniable powerhouse of acting talent. The pair had the opportunity to co-star a couple of times, most notably in 2013's The Great Gatsby. The BFFs were so notorious in Hollywood that they named their friend group—and it was a very vulgar name at that. They basically grew up together in the spotlight and indulged in mutual debauchery, from high-stakes illegal poker games at the Viper Room to hanging out on yachts and dating models. At one point, they even were next door neighbors.
To this day, they remain inseparable. When Maguire got divorced in 2016, Leo was his ultimate wing man, and the pair were spotted partying with groups of gorgeous women. In 2017, they spent a weekend together hanging out in New York.

(#13) Snooki And JWoww
How They Met: Snooki and JWoww formed their booze-filled, wild best friendship as poofy-haired roommates on MTV's Jersey Shore.
Friendship Goals: Despite numerous alcohol-fueled brawls on Jersey Shore, Snooki and JWoww always worked it out in the end.

JWoww and Snooki's friendship is one for the ages. They transformed themselves from boardwalk-crawling party girls to married moms. They were even pregnant at the same time. Though they frequently reminisce about their wild times (Snooki admitted they were "crazy and insane" before becoming moms), they've calmed down and spend most of their time with their daughters, who happen to be best friends themselves.
"The girls are best friends. They will grow up together, they're probably going to kill us, do what we did, but we're prepared," Snooki said to E!.
