Interesting revelations about the Friends series
These are some facts that I found quite interesting, so I compiled and translated them 😉 Have fun 😀 Well, I use the characters’ names to refer to their real life names to avoid confusion 😉
1. When filming Friends started, the members’ ages were:
2. According to the original script, Chandler was actually Gay
3. Initially, Monica and Joey were supposed to be the main couple
4. Also according to the original script, Friends originally only had 4 main characters: 2 “couples” Ross-Rachel and Monica-Joey. Chandler and Phoebe are just supporting characters (Thank God because the writers changed their minds
5. Season 2 is the only season that doesn’t have any Thanksgiving episodes
6. Monica is the only person who did not receive an Emmy nomination for her role in Friends 😦
7. The final episode of the show was watched by 52.46 million people and is the episode with the 4th highest viewership rating in American television series history.
8. This white horse statue in real life is owned by Rachel :v
9. Bruce Willis donated all the money he received for his cameo role in Friends to charity because he lost a bet with Chandler :v
10. The show Days of our Lives that Joey starred in is real, and Rachel’s father was a main actor in that show
11. Monica and Chandler in real life also have difficulty having children just like their characters in the movie
12. It wasn’t until the middle of season 2 that the character Gunther got a name and it wasn’t until the 33rd episode that he got to say his first one-word line: “Hey!”
13. The episode “The One after Vegas” aired right after Monica’s wedding in real life with David Arquette, so in the opening of this episode all 6 people had the last name Arquette added after their real names :v
14. The original name of Friends was “Insomnia Cafe”, then it was changed to “Friends like Us”, then “Six of One” and Finally, I settled on “Friends” :3
15. The car cost for 6 people was initially $22,000 and increased to $1,000,000 in the final season
16. The detail of Phoebe being pregnant with 3 kids in the movie was actually added because she was also pregnant in real life :v
17. The detail that Phoebe has a twin sister, Ursula, was also created because before joining Friends, Phoebe played a character called Ursula Buffay in the movie Mad about you.
18. Joey is not only “poor” in the movie but also “poor” in real life when he only had $11 in his hand when he started filming Friends. I used the first lottery ticket to buy a decent meal for myself ;(
19. It has been calculated that: Joey has slept with 51 people throughout 10 seasons, ranked second is Phoebe with 32 people, Rachel 15, Monica and Ross 14 and Chandler 10. That sounds about right :v Total number of relationships The emotional relationship of all 6 people is 138
20. Except for Ross, who was chosen for the role before writing the script, the remaining members had to audition. In which Monica was initially chosen to play Rachel but she refused.
21. There are many famous people appearing in the film in cameo roles, including the CEO of an Airlines as a hat seller in London, and Chandler’s biological father as Joshua’s father, Rachel’s date.
