Whether you’ve seen Friends with Benefits or not, it’s a known fact that the film is a must-watch if you’re a fan of the romantic comedy genre! The trope and the movie’s ending are a given, but it’s still fun to watch. Thankfully, it’s now streaming on Netflix!

The streamer added the production to its catalog on August 1, 2023. The film follows executive recruiter Jamie (Mila Kunis) and art director Dylan (Justin Timberlake). She persuades Dylan, who lives in Los Angeles, to work at GQ magazine in the company’s New York office. The two become fast friends, forming a connection over their respective failed romances.

The rom-com came out in 2011. So how old were the leading actors when they filmed it? We’ve got the answer for you below!
