A Flowchart of the Best Celeb Friendships
Is Friday "Parenthood news you didn't see coming" day? Because between the totally unexpected announcement that Jason Ritter is returning to the show come April and the news that star Miles Heizer has released a music video, today has been full of surprises from the Braverman clan. While we're not sure how we feel about Mark Cyr's reappearance, we know how we feel about Heizer's music video — it's pretty much the best thing ever.
And by best, we mean weirdest. But in the best way possible. The video is basically a montage of Heizer doing everyday things like ordering Domino's, petting a cat, and drinking some Red Bull-like concoction. There's also Pokemon sheets and a cutout of Taylor Swift, because, well, the video is odd. But again, kind of amazing.
What we love most about the video's release, though, is the support Heizer got from his friends — in particular, his Parenthood co-star and real life BFF, Mae Whitman, who tweeted:
It was a welcome reminder of Heizer and Whitman's close relationship, and of how the two actors are part of a weird, awesome web of people we love who all happen to be friends. Here's a flowchart to keep it all straight:
Miles Heizer...
...is best friends and roommates with his Parenthood sibling, Amber, aka Mae Whitman...
...who is super close with fashion designer Rachel Antonoff...
...who is the twin sister of Fun. guitarist Jack Antanoff...
...who is dating Girls creator/star Lena Dunham...
...who is a self-professed huge fan and friend of Taylor Swift...
....whose face appeared on a poster in Heizer's music video...
... and the cycle begins again.
Of course, there's more connections within the group, such as:
- Swift recording a song with Jack Antonoff at Lena Dunham's house, which Whitman supported on Instagram
- The friendship between Whitman and Dunham, as evidenced by this photo
- The whole group's mutual love for Tegan & Sara, who toured with Jack Antonoff, performed with Swift, and are friends with everyone else
- Whitman and Jack Antonoff's own adorable friendship
- This great exchange between Heizer and Rachel Antonoff
- Rachel Antonoff's adorable Spring Collection video, starring her brother, Whitman, and Heizer
The group's circle of friendship is pretty great, and we're only a little bit jealous. We'd even take being a fringe member of the group, like Alia Shawkat (longtime friend/ Arrested Development co-star of Whitman and pal of Rachel Antonoff) or Matt Lauria (co-star of Whitman and Heizer, friend of Antonoff siblings). We're not picky. Heizer, Whitman, Dunham, Swift and the Antonoffs are all cool alone, and together, they probably make for the best group of friends around — wouldn't you be a little envious, too?
