Did You Know That These Celebrities Used To Be Roommates Once Upon A Time?
Most famous folks started as regular people just like us. When they were young and in college, they lived in squalid dorms or apartments with roommates, eating ramen noodles and building their furniture out of empty kegs and pizza boxes. Also, When they were first starting in their careers, lots of celebrities lived together to be able to afford the rent.
So, here are some celebrities you didn’t know who shared space at one time.
1)Holly Hunter and Frances McDormand
Randomly assigned as roommates while studying at the Yale School of Drama, the duo moved to New York after graduation and lived together again. Hunter was called in to audition for two brothers who were making their debut film as writer-director, but she had a previous commitment, so she suggested that McDormand go instead.
Not only did McDormand win the part of the lead in the movie Blood Simple, directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. But she and Joel got married in 1994.
2)Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling
When they were just young boys, Timberlake and Gosling appeared on The Mickey Mouse Club together. During their second year on the show, Gosling’s mom had to move back to Canada for a job, and he ended up moving in with the Timberlakes.

“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,”
3)John Cusack and Jeremy Piven
Both actors are natives of the Chicago area, where Piven’s parents ran (and still run) a professional theater workshop. Cusack joined the program as a child, at which time he met Piven.
