Jennifer Aniston admitted that if things had been different, she could have explored things in a romantic way with her fellow Friends star David Schwimmer.
Jennifer Aniston Denies She ‘Banged’ David Schwimmer Despite Having Feelings For Him
The duo, who have become synonymous with playing Rachel and Ross respectively, made no secret over their good friendship during a recent reunion of Friends. And yet, it could have been so much more if their lives were at different points.
During an interview on the SiriusXM show, Jennifer denied that anything had happened between the pair. She said: “I would proudly say I banged Schwimmer if that happened, but no. We were in relationships, and it was always never the right time. It wouldn’t have worked.”
Having said that, their feelings for each other did help them play their characters. And given that Rachel and Ross were so into each other on the show, that chemistry was oozing. That was the reason why the fans were so connected to their storyline.
She added: “The beauty of that was that whatever feelings we had, we just literally channelled everything into Ross and Rachel. I think that’s maybe why it resonated the way it did.” It was so noticeable that reports had emerged that the pair had slept together during their time on the show.
Jennifer denied this had happened, and these sentiments were made clear by David too. The latter addressed the topic when he made his appearance at the recent reunion of the Friends cast. In a statement, he did admit how there were some feelings for Jennifer.
He noted: “The first season, I had a major crush on Jen…I think at some point, we were both crushing hard on each other, but it was like two ships passing because one of us was always in a relationship, and we never crossed that boundary. We respected that.”
Jennifer and David may have gone on in different directions with regards to their love lives. But fans will always remember them as being Ross and Rachel. With that in mind, it has been wonderful to see the pair still be on such good terms after the conclusion of the show.
