Will Smith and Tom Cruise - The only thing possibly second best to a Hollywood romance is the authentic bond of the age-old bromance. From Will Smith and Tom Cruise to LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, here are our favorites. These box office titans have been besties for over a decade. They are neighbors in Beverly Hills and frequently double date with their spouses Jada and Katie. Will even co-starred with Tom's son Connor Cruise in Seven Pounds. "Wherever Will Smith is, that’s where the party is!" Cruise said about his pal.(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele - Bromance is one thing, but when your friendship is so strong it gets its own TV show, that's when you know you've found a keeper. The close connection between these two comedians is the basis for Comedy Central's Key & Peele. While success can sometimes come in the way of friendship, Jordan isn't worried: "I lucked out with Keegan. He's probably the one person I can trust," he said. (Photo: Jeff Daly/PictureGroup)

Zach Braff and Donald Faison - Anyone who's watched Scrubs can see these two TV docs have more fun than a couple of med students playing with anatomically-correct dummies. "I think pretty much everything that you see us do together on that show, is how we are in real life," Faison once said. "Maybe times that by ten. In real life we're that on steroids."(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
