Courteney Cox on David Letterman: Actor Says 'Friends' Reunion Is 'Not Gonna Happen'
It's been 10 years since the final episode of "Friends" aired back in 2004. For the 10 seasons it was on air, "Friends" stole our hearts and kept us all singing The Rembrandts' classic, "I'll Be There For You." "Friends" was so good that even to this day fans continue to ask the infamous question, "Will there be a 'Friends' reunion?"
Well, the answer is...
"Fah-get-about-it!"
At least, that's what Courteney Cox says.
The former "Friends" actress sat down with David Letterman on the "Late Show" on Monday and squashed rumors about a possible reunion in the future.
"It's not gonna happen," she bluntly said.
Cox also revealed she can't even get the cast to commit to dinner let alone commit to an entire reunion production.
"Let me tell you something: There's six friends, and I've been trying to put together a cast dinner for 10 years. It doesn't happen," she explained.
"I can get the girls to come, maybe Matthew Perry. Matt LeBlanc canceled last time right at the last minute. Schwimmer lives here (in New York City) so it's just not gonna happen."
Ouch.
Though Cox's dinner plan revelation may have come as a shock for some people, it's no surprise that she shut down the "Friends" reunion idea. After all, other cast members have also shut down the idea in the past.
The LA Times reports that cast members David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc have all voted "no" to a reunion at some point in time.
"We are way too old to be showing what we look like from that to that," LeBlanc told OTRC back in January. "No, we're not doing one."
He continued, "'Friends' was about a finite period of time in your life, like after college but before your life really started. And that was the magic of it, it was that point, that time in your life. It's magical, you had no obligation, no responsibility, you're free.
"To see what they're doing now? Who wants to see, like, Chandler pushing the stroller around or at his kid's softball game? Everyone's kind of drifted apart in real life, so what would the story be and where would it take place? I think it's better for people to imagine their own future for those characters than to see a scripted version of it."
Well folks, it looks like you'll just have to catch reruns of "Friends" on television or pop in your old "Friends" DVD collection if you ever want to see these friends again.
