While Olivia Rodrigo is a great actress who could keep her composure through it all, her friendship with Madison Hu is totally real. In fact, on a Livestream promoting her debut single "Driver's License," Rodrigo even admitted that Hu is her "best friend in the whole world" (via YouTube). She also referred to Hu as her "soul mate" (via People).
In the same Livestream, Rodrigo even says that Hu was one of the friends she went to after the breakup, which caused her to write "Driver's License" (via YouTube). The lyric where she sings, "And all my friends are tired of hearing how much I miss you," was actually inspired by Hu (via Genius).
The two even have a pretty solid social media history that, if you scroll back on Instagram, shows some "chill-and-BFF time" of Rodrigo and Hu on the set of their Disney Channel show (via The Things). Hu doesn't even post much on Instagram but will make an exception to wish her bestie a "happy birthday" (via Instagram). Hu even appeared alongside Rodrigo's other BFFs — Conan Gray, Lydia Night, and Iris Apatow — in Rodrigo's "Sour Prom Concert Film" (via Billboard). While these two are no longer starring on the Disney Channel, their bestie-ship is for life.
