41 Celebrities That Were Roommates Even Before They Were Seen In Hollywood
These celebrities surprisingly were roommates before making it big.
A lot of celebrities have actually met each other before they became famous and worked together. Many of these celebrities either roomed together in college or in similar situations where they met before starring together.
It definitely is a small world if even large celebrities have met before entering the celebrity spotlight. It's kind of cool to know that these people lived similar lives to the rest of us by living in dorms and spending time with roommates while they were coming up.
This article will focus on these celebrities who may have dormed together in college or were childhood best friends who lived together. Either way, this type of article really makes us see them as one of us because they went through similar life experiences.
By "one of us," we mean someone who isn't a celebrity or a well-known famous person. Some of these individuals have been friends for years and continue to be friends, while others were friends back then and later rekindled their friendship in Hollywood.
Let's dive into these celebrities who actually lived or dormed together before they became celebrities and appeared on the big screen.

It's very refreshing to see celebrity friendships that have lasted a while, even if the two met before they were celebrities. It's also quite interesting to see how many celebrities room together simply because they are in the same area, such as LA, to shoot a film.
The celebrity friendships that we love started even before they became famous and well-known.
