These celebrities lived together in an apartment at the beginning of their careers

20 Jun 2023

Of course, looking at Hollywood celebrities today, it's hard to imagine that once they didn't have such riches and counted every dollar. That is why many of them had to rent an apartment together due to lack of funds. Just look at which stars were roommates before they became famous.

Holly Hunter and Frances McDormand

While attending the Yale School of Drama, Holly Hunter and France McDormand shared a room. They made the decision to continue living together because they liked it. The pair continued to live together in New York City after graduating.

After Hunter and McDormand moved to Los Angeles, the Coen brothers, Ethan and Joel, joined the living arrangement. Joel and McDormand got married in 1984.

Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes

On Riverdale, Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes co-star, and they are also great friends off-screen! The two shared a room when the show was being shot in Vancouver. Therefore, the couple can always spend time together in California, even when they aren't working during the scorching summer months.

Reinhart spoke of their closeness and how they traveled together while on set, holding hands the entire time. Reinhart and Madelaine Petsch, her co-star, have previously resided together.

Mel Gibson and Geoffrey Rush

Mel Gibson and Pirates of the Caribbean actor Geoffrey Rush lived together in an apartment in 1979. The housing arrangements continued for four months while the actors attended the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney and performed in a theatrical version of Waiting for Godot.

When giving Rush the award, Gibson remarked that Rush has always had it in him. We love to see strong friendships like that!

Bridgit Mendler and Samantha Boscarino

Fans of The Clique and Good Luck Charlie are aware that Bridgit Mendler and Samantha Boscarino collaborated on these two films.

But before the former married Griffin, years had passed. Mendler had cleverly moved in with her co-star, and they generally seemed to get along well. In 2015, they shared a roommate anniversary cake to commemorate their one-year residence together.

Eddie Redmayne and Andrew Garfield

Eddie Redmayne is undoubtedly already included in this list. But that doesn't mean he only ever shared a room with one famous person. Redmayne shared a house with Andrew Garfield and Jamie Dornan when they were both rising actors.

Of which, the former would go on to appear in the Amazing Spider-Man movie series. They became friends because they had attended several of the same auditions.

Marilyn Monroe and Shelley Winters

Marilyn Monroe shared a home with actress Shelley Winters in the 1940s. When we were in our early 20s, Marilyn Monroe and I shared a home for a period, Winters remembered.

"And I remarked one morning, 'Men have the freedom to do what they want and they're adored. Why can't women have equal rights? We were rather ahead of our time. They even exchanged lists of the men they wanted to date.

John Cusack and Jeremy Piven

Evanston, Illinois, is the hometown of the actors from the TV shows Entourage and Say Anything. They agreed to live together because they both attended the same acting workshop. However, after Cusack made some contentious comments regarding Piven's profession to Best Life magazine, the two boyhood friends finally grew apart.

He suggested that Piven had trouble visualizing a world in which others were equally successful as him or perhaps more so, and that Cusack had less respect for him as a result.

Ali Larter and Amy Smart

The stunning blonde couple Smart and Larter originally met while on vacation during a modeling assignment in Italy. The two agreed to share an apartment after relocating to Los Angeles together.

In fact, the friendship between the two is so strong that Larter served as one of Amy's bridesmaids when she married Carter Oosterhouse in September 2011. This relationship suggests that the two remained close even after they both achieved success and finally moved out.

Poppy Delevingne and Sienna Miller

Poppy Delevingne traveled from London to New York in 2008 to advance her acting and modeling careers. She used to live with Sienna Miller when she had recently moved. Delevingne didn't really take herself too seriously, according to Miller, which isn't as typical as people may think.

Delevingne was a big fan of Miller before she moved in with them. She claimed that she quickly made the model her idol after spotting her on the Vogue covers.

Justin Long and Jonah Hill

It didn't work out when Jonah Hill and Justin Long briefly shared a room in the middle of the 2000s. Long described what it was like to share a room with the other on a Watch What Happens Live episode. It appears that they quarreled over trivial issues.

Hill refused to shut the bathroom door out of laziness or a lack of concern for personal hygiene. He would actively recycle everything, on the other hand. The two left when the altercations became more frequent.

Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn

Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn are two prominent examples of celebrities who ended on living together long after they achieved fame. The two share a home in New Mexico for about half of the year because this is where they film the highly regarded television series Better Call Saul.

Odenkirk reportedly offered two cast members lodgings in his New Mexico residence, and Seehorn and Patrick Fabian were the first to accept.

David Lynch and Peter Wolf

There is no denying the fact that David Lynch is one of Hollywood's most divisive directors. Then there is musician Peter Wolf, who for a long time served as the J. Geils Band's frontman. This strange couple once shared a residence while they were both students at Boston's School of the Museum of Fine Arts.

Lynch apparently thought Wolf was even stranger than him, despite his image as an oddball. Lynch made the decision to eject Wolf after he neglected to pay his rent on time.

Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito

In the 1960s, when they were both attending acting school in New York City, Danny DeVito and Michael Douglas shared a room. Today, their friendship still seems to be as strong as ever. Danny claimed that Michael did the washing, and Michael added that he had a wonderful roommate, making the whole experience fantastic. They co-starred in four films: Romancing the Stone, The Jewel of the Nile, The War of the Roses, and they are still going strong after 50 years!

Dianna Agron and Lea Michele

Diana Agron and Lea Michele shared housing while working on the set of the popular television program Glee in 2009. In contrast to the antagonism between their on-screen characters, the two found it easy to become warm friends as soon as the director called, “Cut!”

They would go home and talk about how humorous their on-screen battles were, according to Michele, who reportedly claimed that they found it really simple to separate themselves from their characters. They would be making cookies together the very next second. How adorable!

Penn Badgley and Milo Ventimiglia

Another Gossip Girl cast member, Penn Badgley, moved into an apartment with This Is Us actor Milo Ventimiglia when he was 28 years old. Penn Badgley was only 18 at the time. At the time, the two were collaborating on The Bedford Diaries.

In a 2011 Bullet Magazine spread, Badgley made light of the advantages of living with an older person and disclosed how he used Ventimiglia's identification to gain admission to locations. He still has it, apparently, somewhere!

Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling

You might decide against getting a roommate if you don't think it would be financially possible. Your employer requested you to do it, so you did. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams experienced that while the movie Blue Wedding was being filmed.

They were originally only supposed to be together for a week, but since the actors thought their characters would benefit from staying together longer, they lasted for a month, subsisting on a painter's and a nurse's income.

Conan O’Brien and Jeff Garlin

The comedians once shared a Wrigleyville home in the summer of 1988, long before they had seen stardom. Even back when they were cohabiting, their tales of comic timing perfection didn't let them down.

O'Brien recalled how funny it was when Garlin would kick in doors. Garlin would stomp his way into the room in the middle of the night and declare, "It's pudding pop time!" to paraphrase him. That sounds funny, so we're definitely interested in learning more.

Dan Stevens and Rebecca Hall

Approximately twenty years ago, give or take, there was a group of brilliant performers who all appeared to have attended the University of Cambridge at the same time. Dan Stevens, Rebecca Hall, Eddie Redmayne, and Tom Hiddleston were a few of them.

Only Stevens and Hall actually shared a home, but they all hung out and got along great. Two years into the course, the latter left Cambridge. The two would later collaborate on the 2017 film Permission.

Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman

Dustin Hoffman shared a room with other Hollywood A-listers back in the day in addition to Robert Duvall. He once shared a residence with Gene Hackman. When they were trying to get into the acting industry, they lived together in a one-room apartment in New York City.

At the time, Hackman was employed by a mental health facility. Hoffman and Hackman gained enormous fame over the years and even found themselves sharing the screen in films like Runaway Jury.

Brian Atwood and Melissa McCarthy

In Boulder, Colorado, Atwood and McCarthy attended the same high school. The well-known shoe designer convinced McCarthy to stay with him in New York City and pursue her aspirations since he had a deep belief that she would succeed.

He explained to PopSugar how they had no choice but to live in Hell's Kitchen and were so poor they had no words. McCarthy's roommate gave her a really special present for her 21st birthday: a free subway map!

Ilana Glazer and Rachel Bloom

How quickly the days pass! Ilana Glazer, creator of Broad City, and Rachel Bloom, star of the TV show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, shared a Brooklyn apartment in 2010. It appears that the two settled down right away following their college graduation.

A collage of the two was posted on Rachel's Instagram account in 2016—six years after they first met—along with a caption reflecting on their time spent together. She didn't forget to praise Illana as “just the best!”

Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson

Owen Wilson, a well-known actor and former roommate of director Wes Anderson, has appeared in numerous movies alongside him, including Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and The Darjeeling Limited. The two pals first connected in a scriptwriting class their sophomore year.

They shared a residence at the University of Texas in Austin before beginning their cinematic collaborations. They collaborated on the script for the 1996 film Bottle Rocket.

Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero

You already know who Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero are if you've seen the so awful it's good movie The Room. The first one is the strange guy with long hair who says, "Oh hi Mark," and the second one is that Mark himself!

While the two have gained notoriety since the release of that film roughly 20 years ago, there was a time when they cohabited in Los Angeles and were attempting to make the movie. In fact, the film The Disaster Artist makes extensive use of their time together as roommates.

Justin Hurwitz and Damien Chazelle

In Hollywood, it's uncommon to see old pals from college reuniting to work on a project, and it's even less common to see friendships from high school still going strong. Damien Chazelle, the director of La La Land, shared a dorm room with Justin Hurwitz, a musician.

The two became friends in their freshman year, and by the time they entered their sophomore year, they were even members of the band Chester French. The pair started collaborating on the critically acclaimed musical drama La La Land in 2010.

Ariana Grande and Liz Gillies

Liz Gillies and Ariana Grande, stars of the popular adolescent drama Victorious, shared a room when they first arrived in Hollywood. In 2013, Grande spoke to Teen Vogue about her experience living with Gillies.

The two reportedly had a great time together while living in Grande's mother's home. Since 13: The Musical, the two have been close friends. They also collaborated on five further unidentified projects. Their friendship is adored by the public, who have given it the nickname “Eliana.”

Brad Pitt and Jason Priestley

Jason Priestley and Brad Pitt lived together in a Hollywood condominium in 1987 before they won their big roles on Thelma & Louise and 90210. In his book Jason Priestley: A Memoir from 2014, Priestley discussed Pitt.

He said something amusing but also disgusting: Pitt consistently prevailed in challenges to see who could go the longest without shaving and taking a shower. The two had to mostly subsist on Ramen noodles and cheap alcohol, much like any other broke college student!

Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag

Before their relationship turned sour, the The Hills stars shared a room. Their connection developed after they initially connected in an art class in San Francisco, and it eventually convinced them to move in together. They studied at FIDM there as well.

Before Montag was married to Spencer Patt and moved out, Conrad and Montag shared an apartment in Los Angeles. Conrad had reassured Montag that she could always return even as she was packing.

Blake Anderson and Adam DeVine

Workaholics co-stars Blake Anderson and Adam DeVine lived in the same residence as their on-screen counterparts during that period. Kyle Newacheck, the show's writer, also resided there. In 2012, he assured the AV Club of this.

Before deciding on the home that seemed to suit the bill naturally, they went on numerous searches for the ideal house. They were accustomed to it, which would eventually improve the writing. Smart!

Channing Tatum and Jax Taylor

Fans of Vanderpump Rules are familiar with Jax's penchant for lying. He told Andy Cohen in 2013 that he shared an apartment with the Magic Mike actor before he became well-known, though.

In a recent development, Tom Sandoval may have been more accurate when he said Jax could assert his parents owned 47% of CVS. There is no way to know whether it was genuine or not because Tatum hasn't spoken up on the subject.

Paula Abdul and Kara Dioguardi

For more than a year, singer Kara Dioguardi of "Straight Up" and former American Idol judge Paula Abdul shared a room. Dioguardi expressed disappointment in Abdul for her remark that there was no need for four judges on American Idol in the middle of the conversation.

Abdul later claimed that her remarks had been misinterpreted and that she had not intended them in that way. Although there isn't much to talk about, it appears like Dioguardi and Abdul are still buddies.

Ving Rhames and Stanley Tucci

This is a pairing we by no means anticipated. The actors shared a dorm at the State University of New York while majoring in acting. The actor Irving (real name) from Pulp Fiction was given the moniker "Ving" by his pal Tucci.

When Rhames gave Stanley the prize for best actor in a TV Miniseries or Movie for his performance in Winchell, the two were again together on stage at the 1999 Golden Globes.

Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling

The Mickey Mouse Club, a renowned children's program from the 1990s, costarred Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake. Stars like Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears were among the cast members. They not only performed comedy routines together on stage, but they also remained close off camera.

When Gosling's mother had to go back to Canada, Timberlake's mother took over as guardian so the young star could pursue a career in acting. When talking about their friendship with Ellen DeGeneres in 2011, Timberlake made notice of how much closer they were than the other youngsters on the show.

Mae Whitman and Miles Heizer

In 2010, Whitman and Heizer started living together after meeting on the NBC television show Parenthood. They quickly became each other's best friends and have kept up their friendship for many years.

Mae frequently promotes her friend, who is presently starring in the popular Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, by posting pictures of him on Instagram. The actress expressed to Glamour her desire for them to share a house and age together.

Robin Lord Taylor and Billy Eichner

Eichner, the Billy on the Street presenter, and Taylor, the show's star, co-created and starred in Creation Nation: A Live Talk Show while living and working together.

Taylor was only unable to accept one aspect of Eichner: the fact that he never cleans, according to him, literally never. In 2016, he discussed their time together on Watch What Happens Live on Bravo. The rest was therefore flawless!

Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp

During the 1980s, Johnny Depp and Nicolas Cage shared a modest residence, a far cry from the opulence and fame that would later define their lives. In those times, Depp harbored dreams of musical success, strumming his guitar in pursuit of a breakthrough. However, fate intervened during a casual game of Monopoly, altering the trajectory of Depp's life. Cage, recognizing Depp's latent talent, uttered the words that would shape his destiny: "Start acting." Inspired by this suggestion, Depp took a leap of faith, leading to a pivotal encounter with an agent through Cage's connections. This marked the beginning of Depp's journey into acting, culminating in his role in the iconic horror film, A Nightmare On Elm Street, and setting the stage for his illustrious career.

Avril Lavigne and Ryan Cabrera

People initially assumed that the two were dating because they were frequently seen out and about together. That myth, however, was swiftly dispelled because Cabrera and Lavigne had been close friends for a long time and because Cabrera had recently broken up with his girlfriend, Katie Krause, and was now residing with his friend Lavigne.

Lavigne and Cabrera had been friends for 12 years, so it stands to reason that they would want to comfort one another when things became tough.

Ryan Seacrest and Jensen Ackles

The Supernatural actor and LIVE With Kelly and Michael co-host Many years ago, Kelly and Ryan shared a room in Los Angeles. They once had a party in their apartment because the Chinese restaurant across the street provided free crushed ice.

You can always come up with an excuse to do what you love, after all. Ryan jokingly remarked that Jensen had always been the center of attention when it came to women.

Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford

Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford, co-stars of the renowned drama television series Gossip Girl from the 2000s, shared a home in New York City. Crawford went on to say that they did this because they had doubts about the show's likelihood of success.

Westwick had never been far from home, so being abroad presented entirely new challenges. Together, the two decided it would be the wisest financial move, so they persisted.

Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler

Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler shared a room in the San Fernando Valley when they were aspiring comedians in LA. Before Sandler moved to New York City, the two shared the $900 rent. Sandler claimed that they were able to support themselves as comedians and occasionally treat themselves to a meal at Red Lobster. He cherished the memories of their times spent together and how that one night was always a memorable event.

Winona Ryder and Gwyneth Paltrow

In the 1990s, these two stunning women shared a room in Los Angeles. When Paltrow allegedly found Shakespeare in Love's script at the home and went to the audition, things apparently took a turn for the worse in 1998. She won an Oscar for that part.

Paltrow disputes that she did so with the purpose of stealing Ryder's role. After Paltrow's website, Goop, was founded in 2009, things heated up again. In an essay, Paltrow refers to a person who many believe to be Ryder as a "frenemy" who wants to destroy her in any way.

Robert Downey Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland

Kiefer Sutherland and Robert Downey Jr. shared a home in the 1980s, a long time before they got their big breaks. They stayed in this residence for roughly three years. They were rather close during that period, and the Marvel star admitted to Howard Stern in 2016 that his roommate Sutherland was like a shoulder for him to cry on.

That was especially helpful when he and Sarah Jessica Parker, the star of Sex and the City, were about to call it quits on their romance.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon

These well-known actor-writer buddies shared a home when they wrote the Good Will Hunting screenplay that won them an Oscar. In an interview with Playboy from 1999, Affleck talked of their time together in a Venice, California, house they shared before having to move out for financial reasons.

From Glendale to Eagle Rock, then to Hollywood, Venice, and the Hollywood Bowl, they made their way. They had to upgrade or downgrade their accommodations depending on who had the money. They might even be ejected at times!

Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper

No matter how long they have lived together, roommates are roommates. Cooper's lease unexpectedly expired while Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone were filming Aloha. Stone thus made the invitation to her co-star to dwell at her home in 2015.

However, the arrangement was only in place for a week. Emma referred to them as roommates in an interview with E! News, but Cooper quickly corrected her and clarified they were "housemates."

Raven-Symoné and Lindsay Lohan

After meeting at a photo session, these two former child stars made the decision to rent an apartment together. Although they shared a place, according to Raven-Symoné, their encounter was incredibly brief, and they hardly ever saw one another.

She continued by saying that even though Lohan paid the rent, she was only there three times while they were housemates. Lohan was less present than the clothes. We hope things did not get sour even if there is no reason for why one of them moved out!

Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams

Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams are a prime illustration of how roommates may become more close than family. Two individuals who live together are inevitably going to share aspects of their lives and form a link that is stronger than that of ordinary pals.

Reeve and Williams shared a room in New York City in the early 1970s while attending the Juilliard School of Drama. The two remained in touch after college was over, and Reeve's wife, Dana, once remarked that they were “closer than brothers.”

Jude Law and Ewan McGregor

Before becoming famous, Jude Law and Ewan McGregor lived together on the same roof. Even Law's then-wife Sadie Frost helped them start their own British film business, Natural Nylon, in 1997. The two developed a terrific connection while living together and grew close.

The duo's functioning style was compared to that of a couple during a photo shoot, and the photographer, Lorenzo Aguis, thought it was cute and funny at the same time.

Connie Britton and Lauren Graham

Connie Britton and Lauren Graham shared a room before they rose to fame in the television industry. Graham revealed to Andy Cohen on the Watch What Happens Live program that they shouldn't have been residing in an empty home.

She went on to describe how the flat had no furniture and how they frequently ate Rice Krispies Treats since they occasionally ran out of other ingredients. The Gilmore Girls alum celebrated her former roommate's birthday in 2015 by posting a message on her social media!

Jamie Dornan and Eddie Redmayne

In an effort to succeed in Hollywood, the Fifty Shades of Grey actor and Oscar winner relocated to Los Angeles in 2008. At that point, they also had to share an agent's residence.

Jamie Dornan opened up about their time as roommates as struggling actors on The Late Late Show. He explained that because there weren't many open positions, they would frequently find themselves competing for the same role at the same audition.

Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart

Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart lived together in Vancouver while they were filming Twilight: New Moon, the sequel to the iconic classic tale of vampires and forbidden love.

The two would infrequently go out, according to Nikki, who later confirmed this in an interview with US Weekly, despite how frequently the group attended dinners and parties. They were content with the delicious pasta that their co-star, Peter Facinelli, made.

James Corden and Dominic Cooper

James Corden, the host of The Late Late Show, and Dominic Cooper, a guest star for the evening and his old roommate, lovingly recalled their time living together in a London flat. There wasn't much furniture, and the only piece of cutlery they owned was a spatula.

Cooper and Corden experienced a particularly depressing evening when Cooper was discovered eating baked beans with a spatula when Corden got home. Fortunately, the two have found success subsequently and are no longer restricted to eating beans with a spatula.
