Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo: 5 co-stars who went from strangers to best friends

Elphaba and Glinda's connection allowed friends to support one another while shedding tears and sharing poignant moments. Watching the actresses who portrayed these parts, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, together had a similar effect. Despite meeting on the "Wicked" sets, they have a connection that goes beyond the screen and touches our hearts. The film has given them much more than just box office success—from the inside jokes on the red carpet to obtaining matching tattoos—it has given them a lifelong companion. Like Cynthia and Ariana, these five famous co-stars went from being strangers on set to becoming closest friends in real life.

Everyone once desired a romance like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, even though their relationship is currently the subject of controversial headlines. However, did you know that this Hollywood "IT" couple got together on the set of the 2011 film "Green Lantern"? Many people are envious of their relationship, which is full of romantic sarcasm, unwavering support, and many practical jokes.

While all FRIENDS actors have remained connected to each other, the girls have held hands closely. Monica and Rachel are still together and have supported each other through the young Central Perk days to creating their own brand days. Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox are particular about their meet-ups and their fans couldn't be happier.

No list of Hollywood best friends would be complete without mentioning Eleven and Will. They might have been just 12 when they met on the set of 'Stranger Things' but now they have grown into best buddies. Brown got hitched and even became a mum and guess who the godfather is? Noah! From viral TikTok reels to serious interviews, they have been doing life together.

Well, these two quickly went from 'Anyone But You' to no one but you. And while fans have been hoping for them to just get together romantically, it seems being each other's best friends is all they want right now. Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney met on the sets of their 2023 movie and have been thick as thieves ever since. He has supported her through a breakup while she has danced around at his sister's wedding. While new, their friendship is adored by all.

Any path you take in life is filled with struggles, but if you have a friend to hold your hand through it all, the bumps become easier to skip over. What these stars share is not just friendship, it's also being by each other's side in a world where every information about you is public interest and life is lived while hiding away. Thus, they treasure the bond and tread with confidence, together.
