David Beckham And Tom Cruise Are Besties, Plus Other Unlikely Celebrity Duos.

Aww, Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix are apparently uber-tight friends these days. The two met while shooting “Signs” in 2002, and now that both of them are official gossip mag jokes, their bromance has grown even steamier. Both men have fought alcohol problems, and they have the same “twisted sense of humor.” According to the tabs, Joaquin spent a couple weeks at Mel’s Malibu estate before he made his announcement that he was embarking on an epic rap career. And when Mel’s wife filed for divorce, Joaq (can I call you Joaq?) was the first person he called. It’s really nice that they’ve found a support system in each other. Weird, but kinda heartwarming.
