Can you believe that the first episode of
"Friends" was released 24 years ago? How old does that make you feel? But there is no way we can forget the main
six, our lovable Friends! Many of us grew up with them on our screens. But where are these actors now? Who reached to the top of Hollywood Olimp,
and who hasn't been welcomed in any other studios after the end of the show? Who is still friends with the other members
of the show, and who's avoiding them? Find the answers in our video! Jennifer Aniston We won't lie if we say that after "Friends"
were over, Jennifer's career has only been going up. She made herself a big movie star. Aniston's first role on the big screen was
the part in the movie Bruce Almighty in 2003 where she played with Jim Carrey and Morgan
Freeman. Quite a good company, huh? Among her other successes are The Break-Up,
Marley&Me, Horrible Bosses and We're The Millers. The dance in the latter one has really highlighted
the range of the actress's talents. Contracts worth million of dollars, star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012, the title of the most beautiful woman in the world. Oh, yes, there is a lot we can envy! However, success in career life doesn't guarantee
success in a relationship. It's been 10 years since Jennifer divorced
Brad Pitt, and that's twice as much as their marriage lasted. Yet, the tabloids don't want to leave Jennifer
alone, by constantly publicing the new rumors about their possible reunion. Her second marriage with the actor and screenwriter
Justin Theroux lasted a bit more then 2 years. The press has started a fuss that this break-up
happened due to Aniston's inability to have children. In the interview for InStyle Jennifer confessed
that she'd like to forbid the press to use her pictures with her hands around her tummy
with the caption "Finally pregnant!" “They don’t know what I’ve been through
medically or emotionally. There is a pressure on women to be mothers,
and if they are not, then they’re deemed damaged goods. Maybe my purpose on this planet isn’t to
procreate. Maybe I have other things I’m supposed to
do?”, - said she. Despite having men walking in and out of her
life, there is one person Jennifer has 100% confidence in. This is her best friend both in "Friends"
and in real life - the actress Courtney Cox. The girls met on the set of "Friends" and
despite being busy, have always had time for a heart-to-heart talk with each other for
good 20 years. Jenn has even become the godmother for Courtney's
daughter Coco. Courteney Cox Jennifer originally was trying out for the
role of Monica and Courtney actually auditioned for the role of Rachel but as we know, they
made the right decisions after all. After Friends, producer Marc Cherry's first
priority for the role of Susan Mayer in Desperate Housewives was Courtney Cox, but this was
not to happen, as Courtney was unable to devote her time to the role due to her pregnancy. However, the birth of the child was nothing
fatal for her career. She appeared in the movies November, Zoom,
and the re-make of The Longest Yard. She also starred in three episodes of Scrubs,
and in 2009 she got the lead role of Jules Cobb on ABC's famous show Cougar Town with
6 seasons overall. After divorcing the actor David Arquette who
she'd been married for more than 10 years, Courtney started dating the member of the
band Snow Patrol, Johnny McDaid, in 2013, and a year later they announced their engagement
on Twitter. Though, it doesn't seem like Cox is going
to tie the knot with her fiance Johnny McDaid. According to the latest news, the actress
is afraid of getting hitched with Johnny, because of her best friend Jennifer Anniston's
recent heartbreak. Despite the fact that 54-year-old Courtney
Cox is 12 years older than her sweetheart, Johnny McDaid is crazy about this slender
brunette. Johnny revealed that his love for Courtney
is so strong that it can be too intense to think about as there is "a lot to lose" if
anything goes wrong. Pretty much in every interview Courtney is
asked whether the fans should expect the sequel of "Friends." The actress has quite an irrefragable answer. "They're rebooting everything, but I don't
know how does that work with Friends, though? That was about people in their, you know,
20s, 30s. The show isn't about people in their 40s,
50s. And if we have the same problems then that's
just sad. That's not fun!" - says Courtney. Lisa Kudrow Lisa Kudrow is the oldest among the other
actors of the show. When she started starring in the show, she
was 31, and this summer the actress celebrated her 55th birthday! The role of the eccentric rebel Phoebe, who
works as a massage therapist in the afternoon, and writes author's songs in the evening,
has brough Kudrow Primetime Emmy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Golden Globe
Award nomination. Kudrow made international headlines again
in 2015 when Taylor Swift asked her to perform Phoebe's infamous Smelly Cat at a Los Angeles
concert. She's been married for longer than 20 years
to Michel Stern, French advertising executive. They had their son Julian Murray Stem in 1998. Lisa's pregnancy became a part of the script
of Friends in seasons 4 and 5, when Phoebe's character had triplets. After the filming was over, Lisa went on to
produce, write and even star in HBO;s 2005 comedy series The Comeback which actually
had its own comeback nine years after that, with its second season airing in 2014. Besides, she is also one of the executive
producers of the TLC reality program Who Do You Think You Are. The actress has been friends with Jennifer
Anniston and Courtney Cox, and she even played the episodic role of a psychatrist in the
show Cougar Town along with Courtney Cox. Besides working on TV, Kudrow has also made
her appearance in plenty of films. Lisa has earned her credit as a big movie
star starting from P.S. I Love You to The Girl On The Train. Her latest work was 2017's The Boss Baby where
she did the voice of Mrs. Templeton. When asked about the possibility of a Friends
TV reunion, she said: "I don't see it happening. What would it be about?" “The thing we liked about that show is it
was like 20-somethings and they were their own family and now they all have families. So what are we going to watch?” Matt LeBlanc After the amazing success of Friends, which
earnt Matt $1 million per episode as Joey Tribbiani, his life seemed to go downwards. The spin-off of Friends, show Joey, where
Matt played the leading part, failed in 2006. About the same time his little daughter Marina
was diagnosed with cortical dysplasia, an illness which affects the bones, brain and
motor skills. His marriage to Melissa McKnight suddenly
became full of whispers of his repeated adultery. Following the break-up with Melissa and his
daughter's health problems, he avoided the Drummond light, asking his agent to "lose
my number for a few years." "For years and years, I barely left the house. I was burnt out. I wanted to not have a schedule, not be somewhere. I was in a position to do that. It was a very dark time. I almost had a nervous breakdown.” said
Matt. In 2011, Matt LeBlanc started playing a fictional
version of himself in Episodes which got him a Golden Globe for Best Actor in TV series
Comedy. After making his appearance on the 8th season
of Top Gear, it was announced in February 2016 that Matt is to be one of the new presenters
of the show, and he still presents it now. He is currently playing Adam Burns in Man
With A Plan, the CBS's sitcom. Fortunately Marina, who is now 13, outgrew
her illness, but Matt confessed he is devoted to her as much as when she was ill. He said: “I remember when my daughter, Marina,
was born. The second I laid eyes on her, I was in love,
and I had never felt that way before. I couldn’t believe it. I knew from that moment there was nothing
that would ever stop me from loving her - even if she crashed my Ferrari.” He also added that he would like to remarry
if he finds the right one for him. So, girls, Joey is still single! Matthew Perry Chandler migh not be as smart as Ross or as
chill as Joey, but he might be the nicest one out of them, plus, he's "the funny one." And his relationship with Monica has always
"awed" the spectators. But in the real world it was anything but
a perfect life for Matthew Perry. The fans of the show know that Perry suffered
addiction to alcohol and opiates while filming the show. After a heavy injury in a jetski accident
in 1997, he was prescribed Vicodin. The problem was that he couldn't stop taking
them even after he didn't them anymore, in fact, he got on the hook. In an interview for the People magazine, Perry
admitted that with the pills he "felt better than [he] ever felt in [his] entire life." He was in rehab for a few times. "Getting sober is a really hard thing to do,"
he admitted. "You can't have a drug problem for 30 years
and then expect to have it be solved in 28 days," he told The Hollywood Reporter. Perry made the rule for himself to never drink
on set, but by 2000, he admits he was often detoxing back stage, shaking and sweating. And even more, he "went to work in extreme
cases of hangover." Three years of Friends are a bit blurry for
Matthew. As he said in a BBC interview, he can't recall
a big chunk of the show because of his addiction. "I don't remember three years of it. So none of those...somewhere between season
3 and 6." he said. He now tries to be a help to other, saying:
"I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in my life. "I’ve learned a lot from my failures, but
the best thing about me is if an alcoholic comes up to me and says, 'Will you help me
stop drinking?' I will say, 'Yes. I know how to do that.'" Matthew Perry opened his former home for those
in need in 2013. According to the interview in the People magazine,
he opened Perry's House for men who seek a 12-step meditation and sobriety program. With time, he even gave up his four bedroom
Malibu home in order to help others. Perry's House had a 2-year success, but, in
2015, the program unfortunately hit a bump on the road due to some financial problems. He revealed that he was going to keep running
the rehab center once he found an affordable location. In spite of having a life full of ups and
downs, Perry keeps transforming his problems into a positive purpose, and for that, he
deserves a big ovation. "My life has a lot more meaning now that I
try to help people," Perry said to The Hill. "It's also a selfish thing - it makes you
feel better than anything else will." When asked during interviews if Matthew could
star in the sequel of Friends, he also has an irrefragable answer. When I’m asleep, I have this nightmare that
we do Friends again and nobody cares,” Perry said. “We do a whole series, we come back, and
nobody cares about it. So if anybody asks me, I’m gonna say no. The thing is: we ended on such a high. We can’t beat it. Why would we go and do it again?” David Schwimmer Since Friends were iver, David Schwimmer has
had plenty of other film roles, including the voice of Melman in Madagascar, the animated
film, Big Nothing and Nothing But The Truth. David made his debut as a feature film director
with Run Fatboy Run, the 2007's comedy. Two years ago he played the lawyer Robert
Kardashian in American Crime Story. For this role he got his second Primetime
Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. David Schwimmer also played himself in a splendid
scene opposite LeBlanc's fictionalised version of himself in Episodes, when he made his appearance
in a number of Web Therapy episodes with Lisa Kudrow. This fall David also starred in the TV show
Will&Grace. According to most fans of Friends, his character
in this show is a completely plausible forty something year-old version of Ross Geller. The personal life of the actor has also had
quite great changes last year, as he split with British artist Zoe Buckman, mother of
his daughter Cleo, after 7 years of marriage. The actor confessed that the fame of Friends
"really messed with my relationship to other people." Sadly, in real life it seems David isn't too
friendly with Jennifer Aniston, because she didn't invite him to her wedding, though,
Courteney Cox hinted that he is the reason why a Friends movie hasn't got off the ground. Ouch. Thanks for watching! Did you enjoy the story? Subscribe to our channel so you won’t miss
