Friends might have been off our screens for more than a decade, but that hasn’t stopped us obsessing about our six favourite friends ever since.
But while our obsession for the Central Perk dwellers has remained, the rest of the world has seen some big changes since the gang last hung out.
In a podcast interview with Arianna Huffington for Thrive Global Podcast, Jennifer Aniston imagines what the programme would be like now for her character Rachel and co.
And it isn’t pretty.
Now you have a computer, a television, and a phone. There's no room. We were jokingly saying that if Friends was created today, you would have a coffee shop full of people that were just staring into iPhones. There would be no actual episodes or conversations.
Okay, so that doesn't sound like a particularly thrilling episode, but we'd totally still watch it.
Aniston added that she’s tried to resist social media herself.
My husband's on Instagram, and people that I know are on Instagram.
I have anxiety watching them navigate through Instagram. It's kind of a little bit out of sight out of mind... But then you find yourself the only one that doesn't have it and there's no one to talk to, because everyone's head is stuck in their phone.
