The Only Thing Better Than the Friends Reunion News Is Celebrities' Reactions to It
On Friday, HBO gave the world the news it needed: The Friends reunion is actually happening. The network announced it will soon gather all six Friends stars for an unscripted special for HBO Max—and start streaming all 236 of the show’s episodes. Though we don’t know an official date for when this unscripted special will air or when the episodes will begin to stream, we do know it “will be available to subscribers at the launch of HBO Max,” according to a press release—and HBO Max is set to launch in May 2020.
If you’re at all excited about this, you should know you’re not alone: The only thing better than the news itself is the celebrity reactions to it.
Just check out a few of the replies on Jennifer Aniston’s Instagram post sharing the news.
Among the thousands of responses, eagle-eyed fans can spot more than a few bigger names including Queer Eye star Antoni, who simply exclaimed, “NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.”
Then there was Sarah Hyland, who gave a resounding “EXCUSE ME?!”
Next, it was Awkwafina’s turn to share an all caps “WHAT”
And Michelle Pfieffer, who shared the same enthused reaction.
Beanie Feldstein revealed she may have scared a few people on the street with her reaction, writing “I just screamed so loud on the street it was concerning.”
And Rita Wilson replied noting, “I’ll have what she’s having.”
It appears even Reece Witherspoon, Aniston’s co-star on The Morning Show, didn’t even get a heads up.
And Aniston’s good pal Gwyneth Paltrow was apparently out of the loop too.
Selena Gomez really summed up how we all feel with her comment, “NO ONE TALK TO ME I’M NOT OK.”
And Kaley Cuoco said it best when she wrote, “I can’t do anything with my life at the moment. This is too much.”
So yeah, suffice to say celebrities probably signing up for HBO Max as we speak, because, uh:
Let the countdown to May begin.
