Acted in the most amount of movies: With Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone teaming up once again for La La Land, we got to thinking about partnerships with undeniable chemistry. Stone and Gosling first got together on screen in 2011 with Crazy, Stupid, Love, then again in 2013 with Gangster Squad. From there we started thinking about what stars have shown up in a lot of movies together. Obviously, back in the early days of cinema, there were like 13 working actors, so we’ve done our best to keep this list modern.

Sorry Laurel and Hardy. It’s much more newsworthy nowadays when stars continue to work together. We’ve also tried to stick with actors who show up in English films, simply for recognizability. Unfortunately, dynamic duos like Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill and their 18 or so films together miss out making the list because of this. We’ve also omitted documentaries because feature films are more exciting. Oh, and sequels too. We’ve decided to ignore sequels in our counts, at least in sagas where it exaggerates the partnerships, like the Harry Potter Franchise actors, for example.
So, where does this leave us? Well, it leaves us with a list of the most commonly seen acting duos in Hollywood. These pairs of actors are the ones who have shown up in the most stand-alone films together, sometimes in starring roles, sometimes only cameos. Most of the time, these pairs of actors have come to be seen as a partnership. We associate one with the other. It’s hard not to think of them this way when they show up in so many films together. There are such strong bonds among certain actors out there that we’ve had to leave out some wonderful pairs like Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, Dan Aykroyd and John Candy, and Will Ferrell and Luke Wilson.
13. Depp and Bonham Carter – 7 Films
Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter films catch a lot of flack from the haters, largely because they have similar themes and qualities to them. Most of that stems from the fact that they’re all directed by Tim Burton, with the exception of The Lone Ranger. Still, these two actors have done some amazing work together. Back in 2005, Depp and Bonham Carter started their journey in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Corpse Bride. From there, they would join forces again in 2007 with Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Flint Street. Since then, Depp and Bonham Carter (and Burton) have also done two Alice films, Alice in Wonderland in 2010 and the sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass, in 2016. Don’t be surprised and don’t be so bitter if these two continue to show up in films together. If you find yourself bothered with more of the same thing, close your eyes.
