‘I had a major crush’ – Ross and Rachel’s Real Life Romance Revealed in Friend’s Reunion Special
Fans love Gaga singing Smelly Cat, and swoon over the idea that David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston had real feelings for each other. Friends Fans React to Ross and Rachel Reunion Revelation.
Remembering the Friends
“The best,” wrote one fan. “Thank you.”
Said another, “Friends reunion is so wholesome I can’t.”
Some fans called out individual actors, with every one getting shouted out. “Thank you, Jennifer Aniston, for bringing Rachel Green to life,” wrote one Twitter user.
Yes, there were jokes. Writer John Moe cracked, “If Friends was my group of friends in my twenties, I wouldn’t be the Joey or the Ross and I wouldn’t quite be Gunther. I would be the other cafe employee, who had no lines and was easily replaced and maybe didn’t even exist. Oh we had some crazy times.”
Ross and Rachel were real
On the special, David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston, who played on-again, off-again couple Ross and Rachel, admitted they had feelings for each other while working on the show. “We were both crushing hard on each other,” Schwimmer revealed. “But it was like two ships passing, because one of us was always in a relationship … we never crossed that boundary.” Instead, the pair said they channeled those emotions into their characters, leading one fan to call them the definition of “right person, wrong time.”
“So that kiss was THEIR kiss,” wrote one fan.
Love for the guest stars
The six Friends had a little help from guest stars and celebrity fans.
“I didn’t know that I mentally and emotionally needed an appearance from Mr. and Mrs. Geller but I did,” wrote one Twitter user. Christina Pickles and Elliott Gould, who played Judy and Jack, parents of Monica and Ross, made a short but sweet appearance on the reunion.
Lady Gaga sings Smelly Cat
Singer Lady Gaga can belt out just about anything, as she proved when she joined in on Smelly Cat.
“I’m sorry but Lady Gaga can make Smelly Cat absolutely slap,” wrote one fan.
Friends: The Reunion isΒ now streaming on HBO Max.
