Popsugar Celebrity Celebrity Friendships Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps Friendship Pictures 30+ Pictures That Prove Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps are Ultimate Friend Goals 23 September 2019 by Britt Stephens Image Source: Getty / Jeff Vespa/VF11 Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps have a friendship that has spanned nearly 20 years — which is like a century in Hollywood years. The two met while starring on Dawson's Creek together in the early 2000s and have cultivated an inspiring, supportive, and long-lasting bond. Busy is the godmother of Michelle's daughter, Matilda, from her marriage to Heath Ledger, and has accompanied Michelle to many an A-list event. Michelle returns the favour often, acting as Busy's date to the premiere of her film I Feel Pretty in 2018. Most recently, the pair attended the 2019 Emmys together, where Michelle won Best Actress in a Limited Series for her role in Fosse/Verdon. Michelle told reporters of Busy, "I'm so in love with her. She's proof that the love of your life does not have to be a man! That's the love of my life right there." Awww! Prepare to smile (and feel nostalgic) as you look back on photos of their friendship. 2001/2016 I love that we almost always stand on the same side of each other. Also, can I just say-we aren't at a costume party in 2001. That's legit how we were dressed for a regular night out. I guess I really was my character from Cougartown? And thank God my eyebrows grew back.
