Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni are perhaps one of the best-known and most-loved modern TV duos. Every time they’re on screen together they absolutely kill it! Not to mention their incredible off-screen friendship too.
Hargitay blessed the world with a throwback picture of the two of them proving that their iconic friendship is decades old at this point (and that they’ve always looked good as hell).
Mariska Hargitay blessed us this week.
She posted an amazing throwback photo of her and fellow actor Chris Meloni, both looking stoked to be wherever this was taken.
Fans were extremely grateful and seemed to love the pic, as it currently has over 20k retweets and 200k likes!
Even the official ‘Law & Order’ account thanked her for it!
The replies were filled with praise and thanks, people every stunned that these two have always looked as incredible as they do today, and have been this close for decades.
One dedicated fan even made it their phone’s background!
And who can blame them? It’s a great picture. Hargitay with her amazing smile, Meloni in his…Olive Oyl t-shirt? Sure, that!
The two stars were first paired up in 1999 on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, a stellar dual-lead that would last until 2011.
However, the two reunited on the set of the ‘Organized Crime’ spinoff.

When speaking to ET earlier this year, Meloni said “there’s history, there’s an effortlessness” between himself and Hargitay regarding their on-set chemistry.
“I think we get to play notes that only she and I can play together, you know? Whatever comes out of the duet is very unique. And so, that is refreshing and gives life to both of us.”
