The cast of Friends uni
Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt Leblanc and Matthew Perry starred alongside each other for 10 years between 1994 and 2004, on the set of Friends. A decade of widely documented laughter, but also a decade of sincere friendships.
In 2021 on the occasion of the special broadcast Friends: reunion, Matthew Perry had explained this strong bond that united them all. “ Since the series ended, if one of the 6 of us meets at a party or another event, it’s over, we know we’ll spend the rest of the evening together talking. Everyone understands, it’s stronger than us, we mean so much to each other. » A remark which triggered tears from several actors.
This friendship has survived time but also trials. In his memoirs published in 2022, Matthew Perry revealed that the actors of Friends had all supported him as he struggled with his addictions to alcohol and medication. “ They were understanding, patient. It was like penguins on the ice floe, when one of them is sick or injured, the others surround him and support him until he can walk on his own again. That’s what the actors did for me. »
