How did Ellen Pompeo get along with other ‘Grey’s’ co-stars?
They were each other’s person on Grey’s Anatomy, but were Pompeo and Sandra Oh, who portrayed Christina Yang, best friends in real life? Luckily for fans, the on-screen soul mates are close behind the scenes as well. Although Oh left the series in season 10, nearly a decade ago, Pompeo and Oh continue to support each other.
Pompeo explained that she loves seeing her Grey’s bestie shining outside of the OR. “Selfishly I would love to see Sandra Oh come back to Grey’s,” Pompeo shared. “But I also love Killing Eve so much, and I love seeing her have so many of these incredible moments. So, as much as I love Sandra, I’d rather see her shine out on her own. I enjoy that more. That‘s more gratifying to me.”
As for Meredith (Pompeo) and Alex (Justin Chambers), they might just be the sweetest best friends on TV. Although the characters had a rocky start, over the years they have grown closer than ever, ready to drop anything for each other.
The two actors are close friends in real life and when Chambers left the series, Pompeo shared her appreciation for the character and his friendship with hers. Pompeo and Chambers reunited for dinner in 2021, along with co-star Eric Dane, who portrayed Mark Sloan, which was captured on Pompeo’s Instagram.
Camilla Luddington and Jessica Capshaw
You might know them best as Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) and Jo Wilson (Camilla Luddington), but did you also know these two doctors are real-life besties? Capshaw and Luddington grew very close while working on the set of Grey’s and they even co-host a podcast together titled Call It What It Is.
