Brad Pitt and George Clooney first got wind of each other when they both auditioned for Thelma and Louise back in the '90s. And while the former wound up snagging the iconic role as J.D., the two would manage to forge a formidable friendship in the years that followed.
Not only are Pitt and Clooney one of Hollywood's tightest pairs, but they're also great collaborators having worked on several projects together, most notably, the Ocean's franchise.
"We’ve been friends for a long time," Clooney told GQ in a recent joint interview. "And it’s fun because we also check in on each other every once in a while, which is an important part of this. Things get complicated in life and you always have to make sure everybody’s okay."
Pitt also agreed, revealing that the Hail Caesar actor is a great sounding board for him. "I’ll call George on numerous occasions when things get bumpy," he said.
As for working together, Clooney jokingly told PEOPLE, "There's nothing good about it. It's all a disaster," before adding, "It's fun to work with people you know."
Below, check out some of Brad Pitt and George Clooney's hilarious friendship moments.

Suffice it to say, whatever "Brad Pitt" story Clooney was telling, the subject was clearly embarrassed. The two wore matching ensembles while attending the Ocean's Thirteen Handprint and Footprint Ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood in 2007.

Over the course of their decades-long friendship, George Clooney and Brad Pitt have been in several projects together — the three Oceans films, Burn After Reading and If — and they still like hanging in their down time. The two were seen chatting and laughing in-between scenes of the new film Wolfs.

And for as long as they have been acting, they know a quick look over the script before filming never hurt anyone.
