One of the many things that made Friends a massive hit back in the ’90s, and gave it a resurgence with a new generation on Netflix, is the undeniable chemistry of the cast. Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt Leblanc, and Matthew Perry all famously negotiated their salaries as a unit back in the day—and those friendships live on, much to the delight of fans like me.
Courteney Cox recently celebrated her 55th birthday with Aniston and Kudrow and shared a gorgeous photo of the three on her Instagram. “How lucky am I to celebrate my birthday with these two??? I love you girls. So much ♥️,” she wrote in the caption. “LOVE you girls! Happy happy Court,” Kudrow responded in the comments. (Aniston, sadly, is not on social media—but maybe her pals can convince her to join sometime soon.)
Friends lovers—of both the famous and not-famous variety—weighed in on the photo too. “This is so epic ?,” Kaley Cuoco commented. “Love that they are best friends in real life!” another user wrote.
This isn’t the first time Cox has given us excellent Friends-related content on the ‘Gram. Her very first post was a photo from The Ellen Show with Kudrow on a recreation of Central Perk’s famous couch. “Hello Instagram! I’m here with a little help from my friends,” she wrote in the caption.
Then there was the time she revisited the Friends apartment building in New York City.
Or this awesome throwback of her and Kudrow.
Aniston recently said that “anything can happen” when it comes to a Friends reunion. “Listen, I told you this: I would do it. The girls would do it. And the boys would do it, I’m sure,” she told Ellen DeGeneres.
What are the odds that this was discussed at Cox’s birthday celebration? We hope they spent some time outlining the plot and figuring out a plan to convince the guys that this is an excellent idea. In the meantime, our fingers will remain crossed.
