Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé recently joined forces for the "Perfect" remix, but their friendship actually goes back a couple of years. The duo first teamed up for a special Stevie Wonder tribute in February 2015 and then again in September 2015 for an epic duet of "Drunk in Love" at the Global Citizen Festival in NYC. In fact, the two even hang out together every now and then, and Ed has even taken shots with Beyoncé and Jay-Z. "[We] had breakfast, went to Brooklyn for the show, then went for pizza with Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Then took them to a dive bar and did Jäegerbombs," he told People back in 2015. "She was so confused - so confused!" Ed also couldn't help but gush about working with Beyoncé recently, telling Ellen DeGeneres, "I love Beyoncé." In honor of their adorable friendship, take a look at all the times Ed was in awe of Queen Bey's existence.

There’s an urgency to Leonardo DiCaprio’s ongoing environmental work, punctuated by two upcoming documentaries: Before the Flood, on National Geographic Channel, and Netflix’s The Ivory Game.
Nearly two decades after meeting then-Vice President Al Gore in 1998 and the creation of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, the actor is more vocal (and active) than ever, serving as the U.N. Messenger of Peace, using his Oscar win for The Revenant to speak out about climate change and joining Beyoncé and others onstage at the 2015 Global Citizen Festival. Now, DiCaprio is stepping in front of the camera in Before the Flood to showcase the ongoing (and rapid) effects of global warming. He also serves as producer on directors Richard Ladkani and Kief Davidson’s undercover documentary The Ivory Game, about ivory trafficking and the depletion of African elephants -- animals that the actor’s foundation has helped protect.
