Before rising to fame as Pee-wee Herman, Paul Reubens had an unexpected roommate in none other than David Hasselhoff. Sadly, Reubens recently lost his battle with cancer at the age of 70, prompting Hasselhoff to pay tribute to his “great friend” on social media. But these two aren’t the only famous stars who once shared a living space. Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams were roommates when they first met at Julliard in 1973, forging a lifelong friendship. And, according to Ben Affleck, while his best friend Matt Damon is a “beautiful guy,” he had some unsavory living habits that Affleck does not recommend to others.
In a heartfelt statement, Hasselhoff expressed his sadness over the loss of Reubens, highlighting their time together as roommates at the California Institute of the Arts. Hasselhoff fondly remembered Reubens as a kind and memorable person who never forgot anyone’s birthday. Accompanying the statement was a throwback photo of the two, with Reubens donning his iconic Pee-wee Herman outfit.
Reeve and Williams’ friendship began during their time at Julliard, despite their differing backgrounds. Williams hailed from the West Coast, while Reeve came from the Ivy League. However, their differences only strengthened their bond, and they remained close friends until Reeve’s passing in 2004. Reeve’s autobiography, “Still Me,” reflects on their deep connection and the support they provided each other.
Affleck and Damon have been friends since childhood, but Affleck shared a cautionary tale about living with Damon. According to Affleck, Damon’s messy living habits drove him and his brother, Casey, to go on a “strike” and refuse to clean up after him. Damon went weeks without taking care of the mess, even when maggots began to appear. Affleck conceded defeat and praised Damon’s wife for putting up with his untidy ways.
Pitt and Priestley were roommates before their ’90s heartthrob status. Priestley fondly recalled their competitions to see who could go the longest without shaving or showering. Additionally, Priestley shared a heartwarming story about Pitt’s thoughtful Christmas gift – personalized Bibles for their friends. The Bibles, complete with embossed names, still hold a special place on Priestley’s bookshelf.
Lastly, Timberlake’s mother served as Gosling’s legal guardian for a brief period so they could both star on “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club” and kickstart their careers.
These stories of celebrity roommates showcase the friendships and shared experiences that shaped the lives of these stars before they achieved fame.
