Recalling the moment he knew that he and his castmates were huge stars, Matt LeBlanc says, "I remember one time I had the news on and on the TV was an aerial shot of each of our houses and I remember looking at it and going, 'What the f**k? My roof is a mess.' "
Jennifer Aniston adds, "I went to the producer of the show I was on and he said, 'That show is not gonna make you a star!' "
The official trailer for "Friends: The Reunion" is now online.
Other original stars like Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and Matthew Perry are also set to make appearances while the special guests include the likes of David Beckham, Justin Bieber, Bangtan Boys, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady GaGa, Kit Harington, Mindy Kaling, Tom Selleck, Reese Witherspoon, and Malala Yousafzai.
This unscripted special will see all six original cast get together at their sitcom's original soundstage, Stage 24, on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank. HBO Max stated, "In order to avoid any misunderstanding about what this special is, we want to make it very clear that this is not a new, original episode of the series. The cast will be appearing as themselves, not as their beloved characters."
