Confusion is perfect: Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow announced that they will not be playing Rachel and Phoebe at the "Friends" reunion.
What can the "Friends" fans expect at the announced reunion? So far, both the makers and the actors have barely talked about the planned HBO special for the cult sitcom, which is due to be shot in late summer due to the corona pandemic. The only thing that is officially certain is that all six leading actors, Jennifer Aniston (51), Courteney Cox (56), Lisa Kudrow (56), Matt LeBlanc (52), Matthew Perry (50) and David Schwimmer (53), are part of the Lot will be.
Now, however, in a video interview with the magazine "Variety", Kudrow and Aniston gave further pointers to the special, which according to "Friends" inventor Marta Kauffman (63) will not only become a documentary, but also "fresh and new" components to show. But what does it exactly mean? Aniston at least noted that there was no script, which actually completely precludes a real new episode.

Then it got confusing: "I will not be Phoebe," added Kudrow, and Aniston also agreed: "I will not be Rachel, although I am somehow." In order to make the mess perfect for all fans, Aniston finally said that everyone would only play fragments of their role, but then restrict it again: "Not really, but yes."
Aniston also said in the interview that she watched old "Friends" episodes during the corona lockdown. She loves to stumble across certain memories in the episodes. At one point she even looked at the internet with her colleague Cox Outtakes: "We were sitting in front of the computer like two nerds and laughing at ourselves."
