One starred in American Gangster, while the other is somewhat of a self-proclaimed gangster. 

And on Saturday Denzel Washington and 50 Cent decided to join forces and enjoy a lad’s day out watching the basketball.

Showing how a bromance should be done the duo joked around together as they sat courtside both looking cool in their snapbacks at the Los Angeles Lakers v Golden State Warriors game.

Boys day out: Denzel Washington and 50 Cent watch the Los Angeles Lakers v Golden State Warriors at the Staples Center, Los Angeles

The rapper who was dressed in a leather jacket, looked enthralled as actor Denzel chatted away to him.

At one point Denzel appeared to be upset by what was going on courtside but fortunately Fiddy was on hand to offer him some support and was seen placing a friendly hand on his arm.

It seems that Denzel may be filling a woman shaped hole in the Get Rock or Die Tryin’ star’s life as he recently admitted that he is currently too busy to find a lady.

Chatting away: The pair chatted away throughout the game, clearly getting along

Bromance: The rapper put his arm around Denzel as they laughed away together

Speaking to E! News he said: ‘I have time for friendship. That’s all I look for within a relationship anyway.’

The 37-year–old is currently busy getting ready to sell a range of headphones he’s designed on QVC, as well as working on his long awaited album.

While he has certainly got a lot on his plate, the rapper is perhaps taking a little time out from relationships due to on-going legal issues between him and the mother of his son Marquise.

Support: At one point Denzel seemed a little dejected but 50 Cent was on hand to comfort him

He’s got the chat: Denzel managed to keep the rapper very entertained throughout the game

Shaniqua Tompkins was set to take part in a new reality show Starter Wives Confidential, however the legal troubles with the In Da Club singer prevented her from continuing with it and the show eventually got axed.

And it seems 50 couldn’t have been happier about the news and took to Twitter to boast about his part in it’s cancellation.

He wrote: ‘I want to apologize to cast of Starter Wives for having the show pulled off the net work (sic). i sincerely hope you find work.’

What up? The actor seemed in high spirits during their lads day out

Meanwhile Denzel is equally as busy as he is gearing up to promote his latest film 2 Guns, in which he stars alongside Mark Wahlberg.

The film tells the story of an elaborate scam which involves a DEA agent and a Naval Intelligence Officer investigating one another in belief they are stealing money from the mob.

But when they realize that they were set up by the CIA, they must work together to return the money and stay alive.

Come on! Jack Black was very excited throughout the game as he showed his support for the Lakers

Tenacious D singer Jack Black also attended the match with his bandmate Kyle Gass but unlike 50 and Denzel, they didn’t put on quite a cool as appearance.

The comedic star was seen jumping up and down whopping throughout as his team, the Lakers, won the game.
