It comes to no surprise that these two were once roommates. Damon and Affleck have worked on many successful projects through the years. Their most famous one being, “Good Will Hunting,” where they wrote and starred in together, winning them an Oscar in 1997. In 2023, Affleck joked about what it was like living with Damon while appearing on an episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” "Matt's never paid a bill to this day, that I know of. We're like, 'Why are the lights not working?,' and that's because the utility company needs money to continue to fund our electricity,” Affleck joked. "Matt's a beautiful guy. I love him. He's my best friend. He's been great to me my whole life. He's a brilliant guy. I would not suggest living with him," Affleck went on to say, noting that Damon is one to “block things out,” such as cleaning.

Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake

Before Gosling was an A-list actor and Justin Timberlake was a Grammy-winning artist, the pair both starred in the children’s series, “Mickey Mouse Club.” While Gosling starred in the show, his mother had to go back to work in Canada, so he moved in with Timberlake and his mother. "[Gosling's] mother had to keep her job in Canada the second year that we were on the television show and my mom was his guardian for, like, six months," Timberlake explained while on "The Ellen Show" in 2011. "So we actually lived together when we were that age. So, we were probably a little closer than the rest of the kids that were on the show just because we had to share a bathroom."

Brad Pitt and Jason Priestly

At the beginning of their careers, Brad Pitt and Jason Priestley were roommates in Los Angeles. Priestly opened up about his time living with Pitt in his book, “Jason Priestley: A Memoir.” "We lived on Ramen noodles and generic beer — the kind that came in white cans labeled 'beer' — and Marlboro Light cigarettes," he wrote. "We were broke." In an interview, Priestley elaborated a bit more on how it was like living with Pitt at the time. "Brad wasn’t as bad as my other roommate, who was an absolute disaster," he shared during an appearance on "Live With Kelly and Mark.” "We used to play this game, all of us, to see who could go the longest without showering."

Jason Segel and Kevin Hart

This unlikely duo once lived together after being recommended by Judd Apatow. At the time, Segel and Hart were a part of a TV pilot and for a few months, they were roommates. Apatow noted that the two living together would be good for the show. "None of us had really had that much success yet, and Judd Apatow, in a weird move, made Kevin Hart live with me for, like, six months," Segel recalled on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in a 2022 interview. "I just lived in a one-bedroom apartment ... So, all of a sudden, Kevin Hart was just living with me, and he'd be, like, ‘Hey man, are you making breakfast? I’d like some, too.'"

Chase Stokes and Rudy Pankow

The actors of “Outer Banks” have proven that they are a tight knit cast based on their social media posts, and they once all lived in the same apartment complex with Stokes and Pankow as roommates. "Rudy and I were roommates. [Jonathan Daviss] lived down the hall. Maddie [Cline] was a floor below us. Austin [North] was three doors down," Stokes revealed during an interview with Refinery 29 in 2020. "In our house, we had this giant beanbag chair, and whether it was UFC fights or jamming out to music, or going to the beach, there was so much to do. … It was a constant party, hanging out with each other. You never knew who was going to be asleep in the living room in the morning."
