But even these unlikely couples makes us gasp at the thought of their friendship.

Aside from popularity, what do they have in common?

Conor McGregor and Justin Bieber

UFC star McGregor has always had a solid backing with singer Yummy.

Notorious and recent Canadian pop star seen on the tennis court together in the Bahamas.

Bieber has been spotted in McGregor fights for years, calling him his favorite MMA star.

And affection for McGregor. “I always randomly see Justin from anywhere and just chop him up, I love this kid!”

Beckham and Ramsay

An unlikely bromance, David Beckham and Gordon Ramsay go on vacation together, and spend Christmas with each other’s families.

Gordon told The Sun in 2017: “Over the last 10 years, we’ve settled down naturally. I see how hard David and Victoria have worked.”

“But the link is our ambition is to get all eight kids going to school, college, university, and then kick themselves out, when the kids are in their 20s, as they’ve become. the parents are kind. It’s hard. We raise each other.”

Their friendship began in 2006, when Gordon catered to Beckham’s pre-World Cup party that same year.

Ricky Hatton and the Gallagher brothers

When Ricky was a mean, skinny fighting machine, he was aided by Oasis musicians Noel and Liam Gallagher.

Famous rockers marched Hatton to the ring – carrying his championship belt – in a fight against Paulie Malignaggi in 2012.

Hatton, who has always been a huge fan of the Manchester band, revealed Liam takes his job very seriously – throwing a belt at Malignaggi and saying, “What do you think of that?”

He added: “I wouldn’t mind but Paulie is Italian in New York, and half of the Sopranos are already on the sidelines.”

Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey

Armstrong has to love McConaughey’s ‘Okay, okay, okay’ vibe.

Fitness enthusiasts, both Texans, became friendly when they started exercising together.

McConaughey later supported Armstrong’s charity, the Livestrong Foundation.

But the Oscar-winning actor was baffled when his friend admitted doping.

He said: “I was very angry. Then I felt very sad for him. First, I had a part of me that took it personally, which I think a lot of people do. get.”

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lil Wayne

One is an athlete who lives in puritythe other is a hip-hop star known for rapping about ‘sizzurp’ – a drink made by adding cough syrup containing codeine and promethazine to a carbonated soft drink.

In 2014, when Real Madrid attended training camp in LA, Ronaldo and Wayne went out together.

Then, as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge swept the world, Ronaldo called on his new friend to join.

There are even reports Wayne tried to get Ronaldo to register with his sports agency in the United States.

Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un

The most unlikely of duels – a basketball player has slept with the likes of Madonna and Carmen Electra and the Supreme Leader of North Korea.

Jong Un is said to be a huge fan of the Chicago Bulls, the team in which Rodman stars alongside Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen.

They first met in Pyongyang, the capital of the isolated authoritarian state, in 2013 with three Harlem Globetrotters players when Jong Un invited him to his country.

Over the years, Rodman continued to have an affair with Jong Un and called him “My dear friend for life” and would love to “party” with him.

Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian

Probably not that hard to happen.

But tennis legend and reality TV star who frequent fashion shows around the globe, including Paris and New York.

In addition to red carpet appearances, they also hang out with their children in LA when the opportunity arises.

But their friendship is said to have started before Kim became famous.

Before leaked pornography began her career, Kim cleaned and organized celebrity wardrobes. One of them is Serena’s.

Shaq and Jack Nicholson

Hell-raiser Nicholson is a basketball staff member, often seen cheering for the LA Lakers.

Shaquille O’Neal rose to fame playing for the Lakers from 1996-2004 – winning two NBA championships.

The pair are regularly seen getting close on the field at the Staples Center during games.

And when Shaq’s shirt number was retired in 2013, the legendary actor had his name dropped by the giant basketball star during a press conference.

Shaq revealed: “Jack sat in that chair for years, telling the referees, ‘You can’t handle the truth!'”

Of course, that’s Jack’s famous line in A Few Good Men.

Pele and Mick Hucknall

The head of Simply Red sent us crazy when he revealed that he’s friends with Brazilian football legend Pele.

Mick shared a snap of the two together at a charity hand in hand.

“So honored to sing for my old friend Pele at the Nordoff Robbins event in his honor,” he wrote on Twitter along with a photo of the pair.

Incredibly, he added: “We first met in 1985.”

Hucknall has continued to play concerts at events in honor of his friend, so seems to be his favorite singer.

Some might say, it’s Simply Rad.
