Matt LeBlanc And David Schwimmer Joked About Joey And Rachel Dating Long Before The Infamous Storyline In This Forgotten Interview

Few Friends fans like the relationship between Joey Tribbiani and Rachel Green. Whether someone rewatches the sitcom regularly or has only seen it once, most viewers prefer the back-and-forth love story featuring Rachel and Ross Geller. There’s something special about the fact that the characters are pals before falling deeply in love with each other. Of course, the dramatic storylines add to the allure.

In the decades since the Friends series finale, the cast members have shared their opinions on their famous characters. But back in the ’90s, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and Matthew Perry did an entertaining TV interview where the subject of Rachel’s love life came up. In particular, the actors chatted about Rachel’s ill-fated romance with Joey Tribbiani. Fans of Rachel and Ross from Friends will definitely want to check the interview out.

A few years ago, a Friends fan posted an interview with Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and Matthew Perry on Reddit that many people likely hadn’t seen before. The fan wrote that it was “A 1996/7 interview where Matt LeBlanc low-key trolls David Schwimmer and says Joey should sleep with Rachel if Ross and Rachel break up.”

When Gaby Roslin, a TV and radio reporter in England, asked “What’s the future for Ross and Rachel? Can you give me any clues?” David Schwimmer shared his opinion. He said, “I think they should eventually kind of find problems within the relationship. That’s kind of like a fantasy relationship right now. This is the girl he’s wanted for years and it’s not very realistic.” He added that the characters should split up.
