"You've got a friend in me" is more than a great song lyric and nostalgic opener to
Disney's Toy Story; it's something everyone should hear and know to be true at
least once in a lifetime. A good friend is a basic, human need. Rich or poor, young
or old, everyone needs a friend sometime ("everybody needs somebody sometime"
 is another applicable song lyric. Yes, we'll stop). These celebs are no exception and
 their bonds have stood the test of both time and, the big one, fame.

1. Friends, Like, IRL

These two are real life besties. You couldn't ask for a better example of life imitating art
 than in the case of Jen and Courteney. Their friendship lives on long after their time at
Central Perks. Courtney was even Jen's maid of honor!

2. Macaulay And Elijah Age At Dramatically Different Rates
*Cough* Drugs *Cough*

These boys have been inseparable since they were kids. Both child stars, they were in
The Good Sontogether and have remained good friends into adulthood. It's unclear
whether Elijah partook in his share of drugs growing up, but Macaulay sure did and it shows. 

3. Good Will Hunting Was Years Into Their Story

Ben and Matt have been friends forever. They are always in the same movies and look like brothers. What many people don't know is how early these guys started their friendship. These guys played together on their neighborhood street! Yeah, home-when-the-lights-come-on kind of friendship.

4. Before Will And Jada, There Was Pac And Jada

For anyone who didn't know these two were super close in high school, take a moment. Let this sink in and then imagine how great a couple they would have made (sorry, Will).

5. Demi 'N Me

Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez are best friends and we pity the fool who would try to break them up. If growing up in the spotlight didn't tear them apart, nothing will!

6. Innocent To Sexy And Back

Living in L.A. doesn't mean only hanging out with adults (although that happens a lot). These ladies were on the same street growing up. Some things never change.

7. Disney-ing To Boyband-ing To Hearthrob-ing: To-Gether

The folks at Disney sure know how to pick 'em. Justin's career shot into space while Ryan was forgotten until The Notebook made him everyone's new favorite. Fickle as fame can be, these guys are still buds.
