Celebs Who've Worked Together More Than Once

When it comes to making a great movie that's a hit at the box office and garners the praise of critics and fans alike, there is one major piece of the formula that producers and actors must get correct: on-screen chemistry.

If the actors in a film don't have good chemistry (especially if they're supposed to be in a romantic relationship), the whole thing could fall apart. This is why directors and producers will often hold chemistry tests before shooting a movie - to ensure that they aren't missing a major piece of the formula that will (hopefully) lead to box office gold.

And, boy, when Hollywood finds actors who share good on-screen chemistry, they like to cash in on it as much as they can. This is why we often see the same actors work on multiple movies together. Whether it's a comedic duo like Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly and Tina Fey/Amy Poehler, or a pair of Avengers actors like Scarlett Johansson/Chris Evans, who share a few acting credits outside of the Marvel universe, Hollywood likes to profit off of what they know.

See which on-screen scene partners have double-dipped as we explore 30 celebs who've worked together more than once.

Number of projects together: 2

Projects: Just Friends (2005), Waiting (2005)

Many people probably remember the duo's turn in the 2005 rom-com Just Friends, but that same year, they also starred together in Waiting - a dark comedy about the trials and tribulations of working at a chain restaurant.

The two are such good Hollywood pals that Faris spoke at Reynolds' ceremony when he received a star on the Walk of Fame.

Projects: The Perfect Score (2004), The Nanny Diaries (2007), The Avengers (2012), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019)

Aside from the pair's on-screen partnerships, the two appear to share an off-screen friendship that is absolute #goals.

Projects: Brokeback Mountain (2005), Love & Other Drugs (2010)

Though the pair have only been a romantic couple on the big-screen, Gyllenhaal had this to say about his Oscar-winning co-star, "She’s one of the most adventurous people I’ve ever met. . . . When I first met her, and even now, even knowing her for a long time, Anne is somebody who would just not really want to get into the party—she is the life of the party and the person who will jump off the cliff first."

Number of projects together: 6

Projects: SCTV (1976-1984), Waiting for Guffman (1996), Best in Show (2000), A Mighty Wind (2003), For Your Consideration (2006), Schitt's Creek (2014-2020)

The comedic legends met during the casting process for a musical production of Godspell, but the first time they worked on-screen together was during SCTV (the Canadian version of SNL). O'Hara revealed that during the early days of SCTV, they went on a few dates but ultimately decided to be friends.

In addition to their big-screen partnerships, the Mad Men star hosted Saturday Night Live three times during Wiig's seven-year stint on late-night sketch series.

While promoting the release of his book, Greenlights, McConaughey credited his chemistry with Hudson as the reason for How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Fool's Gold's box office success, noting, “she [Hudson] had a lot of rock n’ roll and I did too, the way we would parry with each other really worked.”

Number of projects together: 2

Projects: Titanic (1997), Revolutionary Road (2008)

After sharing a blockbuster romance in Titanic, the two reunited for a romance of a very different kind in Revolutionary Road. The film chronicled the story of an unhappy, abusive marriage between a suburban couple, played by DiCaprio and Winslet.

Although their on-screen collaborations kicked-off in 2001 on SNL, Fey and Poehler actually met nearly ten years prior at a comedy improv event.

Number of projects together: 4

Projects: Silver Linings Playbook (2012), American Hustle (2013), Joy (2015), Serena (2014)

The acting duo must be one another's good luck charm as their movies together earned Lawrence three Academy Award nominations (and one win), and two Oscar noms for Cooper.

Number of projects together: 3

Projects: The Object of My Affection (1998), Wanderlust (2012), Friends (1994-2004)

The comedic duo have played romantic leads in two films together (well, sorta), but at very different stages of their fictional character's lives. In The Object of My Affection, Aniston played a social worker who develops romantic feelings for her gay best friend (sorry, Jen). And in Wanderlust, Aniston and Rudd played a married couple, looking to shake things up with their over-stressed city life routines. Rudd also played Phoebe's (Lisa Kudrow) husband on Friends for 17 episodes.

Number of projects together: 2

Projects: Speed (1994), The Lake House (2006)

Though their two movies together couldn't be more different, we love them each in their own way. Fingers crossed for a possible Speed reboot?

Number of projects together: 3

Projects: Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011), Gangster Squad (2013), La La Land (2016)

The pair's critically acclaimed turn in the musical romance La La Land nearly didn't happen. Originally, the lead roles went to Harry Potter's Emma Watson and Whiplash's Miles Teller, but as production progressed, Stone and Gosling stepped in... and we're glad they did.

Number of projects together: 3

Projects: The Wedding Singer (1998), 50 First Dates (2004), Blended (2014)

While accepting the Dynamic Duo honor at the 2020 MTV: Greatest of All Time Awards, Barrymore and Sandler teased the possibility of a fourth collaboration. In reply to Barrymore pointing out the fact that the two have made a movie together in every one of the past three decades, Sandler replied, "it's a new decade so we get to make another movie together."

The funnymen, who have created sweet, sweet big-screen laughs for well over a decade now, met through mutual friend and SNL player Molly Shannon during a brunch outing. The rest, as they say, is history.
