41 Celebrities That Were Roommates Even Before They Were Seen In Hollywood
A lot of celebrities have actually met each other before they even became famous and worked together. A lot of these celebrities either roomed together in college or something like that where they had met before starring together.
It definitely is a small world if even large celebrities have met before being in 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 in their coming up.
This article is going to focus on these celebrities who may have dormed together in college or maybe they were childhood best friends that lived together. Either way, this type of article really makes us look at them like they are one of us because they went through similar life experiences.
