I Trust You So Much | {THE AND} Monique & Alyson

[SaharaColeman]

I’m scrolling down like is that Monique only to look to the left and see Alyson. I didn’t know they were bestfriends outside of Disney! 🥰🤩

[FindingtheEphemeral]

This should be 3, 000% illegal. I am SOBBING.

This is the type of friendship everyone deserves.

[snicholson]

Did she just say 42, looking like 28?! Wow ❤

[synclair]

This is the most emotionally intelligent friendship I’ve ever seen

[sarahrr]

This has to be the most intimate relationship I have ever witnessed in Hollywood 🥰 This is more of the exposure the world needs of celebrities…so deep so human so beautiful…I’ve never felt more connected to people in the public eye

[hausofhanna]

I love that they just look like a more mature versions of themselves. Like, the faces are the same, just older. It is rare these days to see celebrities that are so "humanly" physically and mentally. And this feels so familiar. But the minds changed, grew in the best ways possible. Great to see their bond being so strong over that many years. It is precious to have a friendship like this.

[Kadazia]

I kind of love that none of knew they were besties because it makes me feel like their friendship has been this very real thing they’ve protected from the world to keep it precious and their own. You really wouldn’t know who my best friends are by my social media, we’re locked in beyond public verification.

[shashavengesayi]

Camp Rock x High School Musical crossover. I love it

[papi_manny]

They had me crying more than most of the couples.

[maliahjoy]

I love how they both advocate for child rights in the entertainment industry.

[dontmindme.imjustafraidofe]

All seriousness aside, Monique is seriously the prettiest crier! When I cry I look like my face got stepped on!

[itschansey]

They're soulmates and it's just so so so beautiful.

[xestea]

"I think the lane is open"😢 Now THAT! got me. I felt that to the coreeee

[itsQueMajor]

This made me realize I’m extremely lonely. And have zero person I could possibly have a conversation like this with.

[dainatate]

They are so blessed to have a friendship like this. I’m watching this thinking “have I ever had a friend?”

[sarahgates]

Watching this is making me cry. Watching ppl express their love for each other is always soo beautiful and meaningful. Thank you for allowing us to witness this connection.

[alinaa]

It’s nice to see such raw emotional and genuine connection between two friends

[iridescentlytey]

Listening to stars talking about learning how to adult is so comforting 😅 like we are all out here trying to figure it out!

[AdaMdaZ]

The whole video Alyson had Monique deep in her feelings and then they hit us with a banger at the end. "Why am I in your life?" to Alyson giving (in my opinion) the most genuine answer I think anyone could give "I don't know, but I'm so grateful you're here" fully in tears

[AlexisColeman]

Cancer robbed me of my sisterhood and friendship with my friend Geneisha. I miss her and I miss this kind of closeness.
