As much as I love Tom Holland and Zendaya and Shaun White and Nina Dobrev, celebrity friendships are *just* as important as celebrity relationships! Emma Stone is one celeb with some very fun friends (hello Taylor Swift!), but the friendship that continually makes headlines is the one she shares with Ryan Gosling. As iconic as this duo's filmography is, their relationship is even better. From Crazy, Stupid, Love's Dirty Dancing lift to breaking our hearts in La La Land, here are the friends' best moments.

You can stream Crazy, Stupid, Love on Hulu!
