Jennifer Aniston 'hints' at a Friends reunion

Jennifer Aniston has shared a new photo of herself with former Friends co-stars Courtney Cox and Lisa Kudrow.

The Instagram picture shows the three actors behind Rachel, Monica and Phoebe posing together with the caption: “Hi from the girls across the hall.”

David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry did not appear to be present at the reunion.

In October last year, Aniston posted a reunion photo with all five of her co-stars, causing Instagram to temporarily crash.

When Aniston first joined the platform, she garnered over 11.5m followers in just one day.

6. Joey Tribbiani

Sure, over the years, Joey provided the show with some of its best-known one-liners (see: “Joey doesn’t share food!” and “How you doin’?”). He was also a recurrent source of situational comedy (see: Joey locking himself into his media unit to prove a point, only for all his and Chandler’s belongings to get robbed). Still, it’s hard to compare his goofiness to Chandler’s dryness or Phoebe’s knack for the absurd.

5. Ross Geller (tie)

Ross probably thought he was a good guy, but his record shows otherwise. He cheated on Rachel (no, they were not on a break) then tried to get her back; he dated one of his students; he challenged Phoebe’s belief that her mother had been reincarnated in a cat (which, sure, he’s entitled to his doubts, but could he not just drop it?); and he wasn’t the best brother to Monica, nor was he the best father to his son Ben.

5. Monica Geller (tie)

This might be an unpopular opinion, since Monica is such a beloved character, but: I have never found her laugh-out-loud funny. Sure, her excessive competitiveness and cleanliness were amusing, but it was no match for Phoebe’s otherworldliness or Chandler’s bitterness. Sorry.

3. Rachel Green

Rachel had her moments – and boy, were they great moments. She sang “Copacabana” in that terrible bridesmaid dress at her ex-fiance’s Barry’s wedding, for one. She fell violently to the ground while trying to escape from Ross and his new girlfriend Julie during an ill-fated attempt to welcome Ross at the airport. She unsuccessfully tried to woo her crush Joshua with a cheerleading routine at a party. Let’s make it official: Rachel was a hoot.

2. Chandler Bing

Chandler’s friends derided Chandler’s humour pretty much every time as they acknowledged it – undeservedly so. The man was a master at banter! Sure, he used it as a defense mechanism, but who could blame him? Plus, he wasn’t great at the advice, but he could always interest you in a sarcastic comment.

1. Phoebe Buffay

Phoebe was so wonderfully weird in a way that made her one of the funniest of the bunch. Remember when she sang along to Ross’s terrible attempt at playing the bagpipes? What about when she told Rachel her maternity trousers would be great for shoplifting melons? Good times.

Aniston recently revealed the “isolation” she felt as a result of her fame after starring in Friends.

Her latest credits include Dumplin' and Apple TV+ series The Morning Show.
