A "co-star" is one of two actors who share leading roles in a movie: "It must be hard to be a co-star with such a famous actress." A "co-op" refers to a "cooperative," or a business that is owned by all the people who work and/or shop there: "Kylie prefers to shop at the local co-op instead of a big chain grocery store."
