Jennifer Aniston Tells Ellen DeGeneres That a ‘Friends’ Reunion is a Possibility
During her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday, Jennifer Aniston informed the audience that a Friends reunion is not out of the question—despite what her former cast members have said recently. It’s not a confirmation that the cast of the ’90s smash hit will come together in that giant Manhattan apartment again anytime soon, but it’s the glimmer of hope we’ve been waiting on for 14 years.
DeGeneres and Aniston were discussing her upcoming return to television in a new series with Reese Witherspoon, which is still untitled but will explore behind the scenes of the New York media, specifically morning talk shows. Aniston revealed that the series was already bought for two seasons and will premiere on Apple’s new network.
Once they finished discussing the project and the audience started to applaud, Aniston and DeGeneres clapped along in the rhythm of the Friends theme song, “I’ll Be There for You,” by The Rembrandts.
“That’s the clap from the song,” Aniston told DeGeneres.
“What song?” the host asked.
“The Friends theme song,” Aniston said. After a pause she asked a crew member, “You’ll edit this, right?”
DeGeneres took the opportunity to tell the actress that she and her former cast mates should get together and film a reunion: “Is it a possibility? It is even in the realm of possibilities?”
“Anything is a possibility, Ellen,” Aniston said. “Anything! Right?” She went on to say, “I mean, George Clooney got married! That’s like anything can happen. I think it’s wonderful.”
This is contrary to what some of her former co-stars have said recently after being asked about the trailer for a fake film called Friends: The Movie that went viral. David Schwimmer appeared on Meghan Kelly Today and when Kelly asked about the possibility of a reunion he said he doubts it will ever happen. “Look, the thing is, I just don’t know if I want to see all of us with crutches [and] walkers,” he explained.
Lisa Kudrow was recently a guest on Conan and said that she doesn’t know if a reboot of the show would work. “I mean, that was about people in their 20s, 30s. Well, the show isn’t about people in their 40s, 50s. And if we have the same problems, then that’s just sad,” she said.
Break our hearts, why don’t you? We like Aniston’s answer much better.
