Ross and Rachel are one of the most famous on-and-off again couples in television history. The couple had a lot of great chemistry that seems to have seeded in the actors’ real life relationship.
Their first kiss in the coffee shop was one of the greatest first kisses on television. The couple just had a fight after Ross finding out Rachel had feelings for him. He storms out, but returns after Rachel locked the doors. She clumsily opens the door, before the couple share their first kiss.
During the Friends Reunion, James Corden asked a very important questions. The show ran for 10 years, and the six actors were always close to each other. So were there any off-screen romances?
In a recent interview promoting the reunion, the girls laughed it off, and Lisa added that she was “engaged,” and Courteney also got married to David Arquette mid-way through Friends.
Jennifer Aniston was also married to Brad Pitt for a few seasons.
But prior to that, it looks like there were some crushes.
Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer admitted that they had a mutual crush on each other.
“The first season, I had a major crush on Jen,” said Schwimmer, with Aniston saying this “was reciprocated”.
“At some point we were both crushing hard on each other, but it was like two ships passing because one of us was always in a relationship. And we never crossed that boundary. You know, we respected that, but we both…” to which Matt LeBlanc cut him off and joked “Bullsh-t.”
To which Jen replied: “Honestly, I remember saying one time to David [Schwimmer], it’s gonna be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is gonna be on national television. Sure enough, first time we kissed is in that coffee shop. But we just channeled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel.”
Courtney added: “That scene within the espresso home when their first kiss… I watched it the opposite day and I used to be weeping. The stress was simply palpable, it was simply excellent. I’m so glad you guys didn’t as a result of I do not know what… you’d have simply been nice actors. But man, that was one thing.”
