Tom Hanks and Ben McKenzie?!

Paul Wesley's Surprising Celeb BFFs 

Ready for an epic game of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley popped up in a picture full of Hollywood randoms, ranging from Gotham’s Ben McKenzie to Oscar-winner Tom Hanks! How do these celebs all know one another? Let’s break it down!

“The game? ...wasn't great. The company? Amazing. #goRangers,” Ben sweetly tweeted Sunday, along with an Instagram photo of himself with a bunch of Hollywood heavyweights hanging together at the New York Rangers game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Included in the photo:

— Paul Wesley
— Michael Cudlitz (The Walking Dead)
— Chad L. Coleman (The Walking Dead)
— Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead)
— Tom Hanks

Yep, this is one star-studded gang of hockey fans. How do they all know one another? Well, Ben and Paul have been friends since Paul guest starred as Ryan’s Crab Shack co-worker in Season 1 of The O.C. Ben and Michael are BFFs from their time co-starring on Southland together. Michael, of course, now co-stars with Chad and Steven on The Walking Dead. As for Tom Hanks, he knows everyone in Hollywood, right? Well, there’s also the fact that he wrote Band of Brothers, which Michael appeared in (along with every other actor in Hollywood).

And, in a selfie meta moment, Getty Images happens to have a photo of this photo being taken. Meta, right?

The Vampire Diaries airs Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
