What You Didn't Know About Meryl Streep And 50 Cent's Surprising Friendship

When Meryl Streep and 50 Cent were pictured together courtside at a New York Knicks game in 2014, the internet could not seem to get enough (via Glamour). Photos of them laughing together were the most heartwarming yet odd things to turn up on the internet. This is the type of thing you never thought you'd see, but you were glad you found.

Speaking of that occasion, which was the first time they met, 50 Cent said he was glad to help the iconic actress find her way when he discovered that it was her first-ever at a live basketball game and she had no clue what to do or where to sit. "As soon as I noticed she didn't know what was going on, I was like 'Hey, don't worry just come with me. This is gonna be cool,'" the rapper recalled on Jimmy Kimmel Live (via MTV News).

While it's not clear if the pair has ever met up again or if they are still as chummy as they looked on that particular occasion seven years ago, 50 Cent has recounted that story on more than one occasion.

The rapper and actor himself, who is a well-recognized entertainment figure, confessed in 2016 to being awestruck in Streep's presence, admitting on The Rachael Ray Show that, "I sat next to Meryl Streep. And I was like, 'I'm regular,'" he joked. "I felt like I was normal again."
