Sometimes it can be hard to remember that despite the extraordinary lives they live, celebrities are folks like us. They didn’t just pop into existence, already famous. They journeyed through life, they had struggles and successes, ups and downs, and connected with others along the way. You’d be surprised, some of the celebrities that have been friends since before they were famous. It truly is a small world out there. Let’s take a look at some celebrities who were already friends before they hit the big time.
Leonardo Decaprio and Tobey Maguire
Before these two guys were going to swanky parties in The Great Gatsby, they were part of a party group tearing up the streets of New York City, getting into all kinds of trouble. Leonardo Dicaprio saw Tobey Maguire on the street from his car one day and decided they would be friends. And they were!
Those shirts are so wild and fun; it suits the lifestyle they would lead later and the party-going characters in The Great Gatsby. I also have to wonder who that arm on Leonardo Dicaprio’s right shoulder is. At first, I thought it was Tobey Maguire, but you can see both of his arms below him. Who was cut from this picture?
