David Schwimmer clears up Friends reunion rumours
Friends star, David Schwimmer reveals details about Friend’s reunion special.
After hearing reports of a Friends reunion last week, fans were absolutely buzzing that there would finally be a reunion of the much loved US sitcom which ended in 2004- but all is not what it first seemed to be!
David Schwimmer, who played Ross Geller in the US sitcom says that he and his fellow co-stars, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and Courteney Cox have not been told what will be happening in the 2 hour NBC special- but he did say one thing…
Schwimmer said during an interview “There’s no Friends reunion. It is a tribute to Jimmy Burrows who we love and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.” He also said: “I mean in no way is it a Friends reunion when one member is out of the country. It is a 5/6 reunion.”
Burrows was director of the sitcom through the course of its 10 year run. He was also involved with other TV shows including, Two and a Half Men, 3rd Rock from the Sun and The Big Bang Theory.
David Schwimmer also spoke out about his feelings on Matthew Perry missing out on the special. He said: “Sure I’m sad, but I’m happy for him. He’s doing a play in London and it is thrilling. I did one there and it’s fantastic.”
Matthew Perry also broke the news about the Friends special, speaking on The Graham Norton Show. He said: “It’s not the reunion everyone is hoping for, they are celebrating Jim Burrows who was a director of Friends.” Oh well that’s a bit disappointing!
