Celebrity

The 'Stranger Things' star and the rapper's friendly relationship is not the first celebrities' friendship that many people find weird.

AceShowbiz - Millie Bobby Brown recently caused controversy after she happily opened up about her friendship with Drake. Many found their 17-year gap friendship "disturbing," "creepy," and "troubling" when they learned what the two stars text each other. Some even accused the Canadian hip-hop superstar of "grooming" for giving Millie dating advice.

The "Stranger Things" star herself has responded to the controversy, revealing that she didn't understand why people made a fuzz about their friendship. "Why u gotta make a lovely friendship ur headline? U guys are weird... For real," she said. "im lucky to have people in the business extend their time to help me further my career and offer their wisdom and guidance. Im very blessed to have amazing people in my life."

But people still don't buy her response and continue criticizing their relationship, with many people stating that the teenage star is the one who doesn't understand how weird it is for a 14-year-old to receive dating advice from a 31-year-old.

Millie and Drake's friendly relationship is not the first celebrities' friendship that many people find weird. Let's take a look at other celebrities' friendships that raise eyebrows.

1. Eminem and Elton John

Considering that Eminem is often accused of using homophobic slurs on his songs, people find it weird that he is good friend with Elton John, who is gay. They first met at the 2001 Grammy Awards, and have been close pals ever since. Elton even defended Em when people couldn't stop accusing him of promoting homophobia in his rap.

"For me, Eminem was never homophobic. I listened to the whole of the 'Marshall Mathers' album when I drove to a show in South Hampton and I was floored by it. And I thought how could anyone think this is... he's just writing about the way things are. Not how he thinks, but the way things are," he said in an interview. "I'll fight for anyone who is misunderstood and misrepresented by the idiots out there."

2. Kanye West and Donald Trump

Donald Trump is widely known for his hate on black people. So when Kanye West showed off his love for the POTUS, many were shocked and quick to slam him for supporting one of the most well known white supremacists.

The Yeezy founder once said of Trump on Twitter, "You don't have to agree with Trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought." Trump responded to his tweet by saying, "Thank you Kanye, very cool!"

3. 50 Cent and Bette Midler

There's no denying that the fact Bette Midler could be friend with someone like 50 Cent is strange, considering that they're a complete opposite of each other. The two became fast friends after working together on the New York Restoration Project together.

"Little Jewish lady and the great big rapper," the songstress said of the friendship in an interview. "He's one of the newest members of our tribe. He's really made my life worth living." She even said that she would like to collaborate with him on music even though she couldn't rap. "But I'd like to sing in the background on 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' '," she said.

4. Macaulay Culkin and Michael Jackson

Many people questioned the purity between Michael Jackson and Macaulay Culkin's friendship as the late King of Pop was accused of being a pedophile. Opening up about their bizarre relationship, the former child actor said that they first met when he was performing in the Nutcracker, though they only became friends when "Home Alone" came out.

"He was like my best friend growing up for a stretch of my life. It was a legitimate friendship," Culkin shared. "He enjoyed my youthfulness. He liked being a kid with me. It never struck me as odd. I never felt uncomfortable. That was just the way he was." He also said that he slept in Jackson's bedroom so many times and there was never improper behavior on the part of the singer.

5. Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg

Just like 50 Cent and Midler, it is indeed strange to see Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg being good friends since their style and manner of speech are completely different. They first became friends after he appeared on her show "Martha" back in 2008.

The two even have a cooking show together on VH1 called "Martha and Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party." The rapper once said of the show, "My homegirl, Martha, and I have a special bond that goes back. We're gonna be cooking, drinking and having a good time with our exclusive friends."

6. Russell Brand and Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren and Russell Brand's relationship developed into friendship after they teamed up for 2010's "The Tempest". Mirren was impressed with the brash comedian and has heaped praise on him since then.

Talking about their relationship, the actress said, "It's a funny friendship. It's not a friendship where we go out to dinner together or I go round to his house. But whenever we're together, it's as if we'd met at another time, in another universe." Mirren even said that Brand once gave her a pair of his underwear as a parting gift.

7. Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un

Kim Jong Un has always been a big fan of basketball and especially has soft spot for Dennis Rodman and Chicago Bulls. He invited the retired basketball player to Pyongyang in March 2013, marking their first meeting together. Since then, they have become good friends.

Their friendship continued to blossom, with Rodman visiting North Korea several times to spend time with the president. He even sang "Happy Birthday" to Kim Jong Un on the basketball court and accompanied him to the historic summit between Trump and Kim Jong Un in Singapore.
