Did You Know They Were BFFs Before The Fame? Celebs We Didn’t Know Were Homies Before They Made It
Lauryn Hill & Zach Braff
Both from Jersey, the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill singer and the former “Scrubs” star were childhood cronies who used to tell each other deep dark secrets and share lunches. Naw, I’m just kidding, I don’t think it was all that deep, but they were friends as kids, and so cool with one another that Braff asked Hill to come to his Bar Mitzvah. The story he told Jane Magazine a few years back goes like this:
Lauryn Hill did go to my bar mitzvah. There was a game called Coke and Pepsi. You’d have a partner, and one person was Coke and the other Pepsi. Depending on what the DJ would yell, you had to run and get on that person’s lap. And Lauryn was my Coke and Pepsi partner.
Hmmm, sounds a little inappropriate for young people, but whatever works…
