Jennifer Aniston Explained Why The “Intense” “Friends” Reunion Was A “Sucker Punch” For The Cast
Jennifer Aniston is getting candid about her past romantic feelings for her Friends costar David Schwimmer.

Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty Images“It was like two ships passing because one of us was always in a relationship, and we never crossed that boundary,” he said.

Steve Granitz / FilmMagicNow, Jen is reflecting on the subject once more.
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesSitting down for an appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan last month, Jennifer was asked about the crushes she and David had on each other while shooting Friends.
Live with Kelly and RyanHost Kelly Ripa said, “You and David had a crush on each other,” to which Jen replied, “Yes, we did.”

Live with Kelly and RyanRyan Seacrest then asked Jen if her and David’s first kiss was one captured by the cameras for the show. “Yes,” she confirmed.

Live with Kelly and RyanNeedless to say, fans of Ross and Rachel were quick to react to the sweet remark.
Live with Kelly and Ryan“‘Quite enjoyable actually’… FANS ARE DYING RIGHT NOW,” one person wrote on TikTok. “We need them to be together in real life.”

Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesElsewhere during the interview, Jennifer reflected on the aftermath of shooting the aforementioned Friends reunion — something that she’s been vocal about in the past.
Jon Kopaloff / FilmMagicBack in September 2021, Jen admitted that the special episode — which was filmed 17 years after Friends finished shooting — was actually far more difficult than she and her costars had anticipated.
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty Images“In your mind, you think, ‘Oh, this will be really fun to time travel,’” she said on the Literally! With Rob Lowe podcast. “It turns out… it’s kind of hard to time travel.”
Getty Images“All of a sudden, here you are, and, you know, 16 years… a lot has gone on for each of us,” she continued. “Sixteen years ago, we were all sort of wide-eyed, bushy-tailed, and sort of had our whole lives ahead of us, even though we were heartbroken to say goodbye to these 10 years and… the job we all loved to do.”
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty Images“It’s nostalgic in a way that’s kind of also a little melancholy, you know, ‘cause a lot has changed,” she said. “We have all gone down different roads,” she went on. “Some easy and some not-so easy, for each of us.”
Nbc / NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesAnd Jen certainly hasn’t changed her tune today, describing the aftermath of the reunion as “intense” during her appearance on Kelly and Ryan.
Penske Media / Penske Media via Getty Images“It was a sucker punch,” she said. “No one really expected what we were gonna feel. Because in your mind you’re like, Ooh, time travel! That sounds really cool! And then you’re there and you’re like, Oh, that’s really intense — because so much has happened since.”
